Sandblasting is a cleaning process that projects small pieces of material at high speeds to clean or smooth a surface. It can also be used on concrete, glass, and other surfaces to create a decorative look.

Concrete is a popular material for commercial building facades, as well as retaining walls and other outdoor surfaces. One of the reasons for its popularity is lower labor costs to build compared to steel, but many people wonder if concrete is expensive to maintain. Overall, concrete is easily and inexpensively maintained as long as it’s installed and cared for properly.

Like many outdoor surfaces, concrete weathers a lot of elements: wind, rain, freezing water, heat, sunlight, and more. Concrete installed under the wrong conditions or with an incorrect ratio of materials tends to crack sooner, but even the best concrete installation can crack over time.

Spring in Oklahoma can be beautiful, but it can also be pretty harsh when it comes to rain, hail, and heat. These spring maintenance tasks can keep your building looking its best and prevent serious problems from developing.

Traditional stucco and EIFS exteriors can be used in multiple styles of buildings. Traditional stucco is often found in historic buildings, while EIFS (exterior insulation and finish system) is a more modern choice. Both create a classic exterior look and can be customized to fit a particular style.

Cracked or crumbling masonry can lead to water infiltrating a building. Once water finds its way inside, you can end up dealing with wet floors, mold, damaged sheet rock and paint, and stained ceiling tiles.

Concrete densifiers are applied to a concrete surface to fill the pores of the concrete and make it less permeable to stains. They are a water-based chemical solution that penetrates the surface of the concrete and reacts chemically with the concrete to increase its density and strength. Densifiers can be used on both polished and unpolished concrete.

Parking garages serve an important purpose for commercial buildings by allowing a large number of vehicles to park in a relatively small space. Over time, they are subject to significant wear and tear from vehicle traffic, weather, and even just the passage of time.

Windows are an important part of any building design due to allowing natural light into the space. But they’re also one of the riskiest parts of any building when it comes to water infiltration.
