|
|
| Chapel Ridge Apartment Complex,
near the intersection of Hwy 100 and Hwy 13. |
|
| Chapel Ridge is fairly new with
over 20 buildings on site. Some of the buildings needed
more attention than others. The three areas that we
worked on were the stairways, soffits, and band boards. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Almost all the band boards on the
exterior of the buildings needed an overhaul. |
|
| Both the metal trim and the wood
had to be scrapped, primed, and painted. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| All the primer used on the band
boards was manufactured by the Zinsser Company, which
has been making primer for ... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| After the top coat, Mautz Super
Satin was applied. It gave the band boards a fresh new
look. |
|
| Hand rails were in bad shape. They
were used and abused over the short time the buildings
had been up. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| Kem Kromic Oil Based Primer was
used on all the bare metal, which was previously sanded
down. |
|
| Back sides of the stairs were all
metal and beginning to rust. They were sanded and primed
with Kem Kromic. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| All the rails, spindles, and stairs
were top coated with oil based enamel from
Sherwin-Williams. |
|
| A large percentage of the soffits
had to be re-done. They were made out of galvanized
metal. It started with power-washing to remove all loose
and flaking paint and to clean them as well. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| The next step was to scrape and
sand down all the necessary areas. |
|
| Vinegar was then applied to all
bare metal to etch the surface. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| All the soffits that had to be
repainted were sprayed with 2 coats of Diamond Vogels
D.T.M. (latex) direct to metal. |
|
| All the balconies had to me masked
to keep the paint off the vinyl siding and the concrete
floor. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| Although the soffits and the stairs
were under roofs, the were still exposed to the
elements. After completion of the soffits, they looked
brand new again. The renters could now enjoy going out
and sitting on their patios. |
