Facility Description

The project was centered on a substantial tilt-up construction industrial building located in Aurora, Illinois. Occupied by a leading food manufacturer and leased from JLL, this facility spans an impressive 100,000 sq. ft. It plays a pivotal role in the client's operations, necessitating a professional and aesthetically pleasing appearance to reflect the brand's commitment to quality and uniformity across its locations.

Requested Maintenance

The primary objective was to address the facility's outdated and worn exterior, particularly focusing on the fading color scheme and failing vertical caulk joints. These issues not only detracted from the building's professional appearance but also posed risks of water, snow, and ice damage to the structure.

Additionally, the need to protect the building's integrity from weather-related damage was paramount. The project was expedited to be completed within weeks, showcasing an impressive turnaround time that minimized disruption and maximized efficiency.

Scope of Work

The project involved a comprehensive exterior repaint of the entire 100,000 sq. ft. industrial building. High-quality, durable paint was selected to withstand the harsh Midwestern weather conditions, ensuring longevity and maintaining the building's professional appearance. The project also included meticulous caulking of vertical joints to safeguard against water intrusion, protecting the structure from potential damage caused by snow and ice.

Notable Details
