Architectural Coating, Finishing and Painting Services

About Architectural Coating, Finishing and Painting Services

Architectural coating, architectural finishing and architectural painting services coat, finish and paint interior and exterior surfaces and components in buildings and plants. Architectural coating services use specialized equipment to coat building exteriors to resist water, corrosion, and fire, and to improve the wear resistance of the paint. An architectural coating may include a layer of polyurethane to seal concrete from water, or apply a special type of paint to drywall or metal. Architectural finishing services include architectural metal refinishing services, companies that refine metal surfaces for the building trades and paint or coat items such as elevator cabs, window frames, and revolving doors. Architectural painting services specialize in painting surfaces such as concrete blocks. Architecture painting starts with surface preparation such as power washing or sandblasting to remove dirt and manufacturing contaminants, old paint, and rust stains. Building painting can be done with conventional air sprayers, specialty high volume and low pressure equipment, or electrostatic sprayers.
