Client and Facility Overview

Located in the bustling city of Elmhurst, Illinois, our client operates a large industrial warehouse specializing in the storage and distribution of various goods. The warehouse's strategic location and robust infrastructure allow them to effectively meet the demands of their growing customer base.

Requested Maintenance

Over the past 15 years, the facility's upkeep had been largely neglected, making it a prime candidate for major maintenance and renovation. Our mission was clear: remove more than a decade of accumulated grime and neglected surfaces and transform the warehouse into a bright, clean, and usable space. Not just cosmetic improvements, but actionable steps to prepare the facility for regular maintenance in the future.

Scope of Work

Initial Preparations: Covered floors and machinery to protect them during the cleaning and painting phases.
Ceiling Treatment: Utilized brushes, vacuums, and blowers to remove thick layers of dust and loose previous coatings from the ceiling.
Covered sprinkler heads with aluminum foil to prevent contamination.
Painted the ceiling in multiple sections using Valspar’s Industrial Semi-Gloss paint.
Wall Treatment:
- Washed walls thoroughly using a degreaser followed by a low-pressure rinse.
- Painted cleaned walls with Corotech’s Pre-Catalyzed Waterborne Epoxy in a semi-gloss finish.
Overhead Doors: Cleaned manually and applied two coats of heavy-duty industrial enamel with a gloss finish.

Notable Details

This project served as an important reminder of the importance of regular cleaning and maintenance. Small, consistent steps can prevent the need for major work and costly repairs down the road. For example, leaks and property damage hidden under dirt and debris can be addressed more quickly with routine maintenance.

Understanding the importance of maintaining business operations, all work was completed during weekend hours to ensure no disruption to the client's schedule. This flexibility underscores our commitment to meeting the needs of our clients while providing the highest level of service.
