Exterior refinishing of 6 barns (the oldest of which dates back to 1838) including an octagonal barn, a rare, architectural gem that is one of only a handful of its kind surviving in Pennsylvania today.
Process
CHALLENGES
Historical Preservation
Large Surface Area
High Elevations
APPROACH
Media blasted wood to remove paint scale and create solid surface for primer to adhere to (helps avoid cracking)
Power washed metal roof with turbo tip to remove rust
Reglazed all window sashes
Applied linseed primer to wood for better penetration and longevity, then 2 coats (each sprayed and back brushed) satin-finish 100% acrylic
Applied rust-inhibiting primer and matte-finish silver aluminum (2 coats) to metal roof
Higher elevations were reached using our own bucket and ladder trucks, preventing potential damage to building and grounds, along with saving time and cost for our client
