Despite the mild fall temperatures, winter weather is right around the corner. With it comes all the environmental changes that plague facilities managers and building owners.

We love historic brick buildings. These iconic structures give us a window to the past, and when restored and maintained properly, they become a mainstay of the future.

Few things strike fear in the hearts of building owners like water damage. Even a small leak can wreak havoc on walls and flooring. Of course, one of the great concerns of moisture inside buildings is growth of mold. Mold can begin to grow on wet surfaces in only a day or two.

Parking garages are a fantastic solution for maximizing vehicle parking in space-limited areas. However, anyone who manages or owns one knows the high construction and maintenance cost that come with them.

The beauty and look of stucco is iconic, especially in historic buildings. Its seamless design highlights architectural details while maintaining a cohesive appearance.

The appearance of your building and grounds communicates a lot about your business. A neat, clean look makes clients feel welcome to walk in the front door.

Any concrete surface exposed to the elements will wear down over time, but this is especially true for parking decks (the driving surface of a parking garage) and plaza decks (elevated patios on commercial buildings or shopping malls).

If you own or manage a commercial building, chances are that you have concrete somewhere on the premises. Though concrete is a hard surface, it certainly does not last forever. Age plus environmental factors can play a big part in its deterioration.

Few exteriors are more iconic or evoke feelings of the past than limestone. The look is a combination of artistry and craftsmanship.
