Our Facade Painting Techniques
-
Detailed Surface Assessment & Preparation: We inspect for cracks, efflorescence, and loose coatings before cleaning and repairing the substrate. Surface prep may include power washing, chemical cleaning, or light abrasion, depending on the material.
-
Crack Repair & Surface Restoration: Before painting, we repair minor and major façade cracks using masonry patching, elastomeric sealants, or repointing, ensuring a stable surface for paint adhesion.
-
Selection of High-Performance Coatings: We apply premium elastomeric coatings, breathable mineral paints, waterproof masonry paints, or anti-carbonation coatings, depending on surface conditions, exposure, and design goals.
-
Professional Application Techniques: Our team uses brush, roller, or airless spray systems, applying multiple coats as needed for uniform finish and durability.
-
Fire-Resistant & Eco-Safe Options: For sensitive projects or code compliance, we offer low-VOC, non-toxic, and fire-rated exterior paint systems.
-
Coordination with Other Restoration Work: We often combine façade painting with repointing, waterproofing, or stucco repair, providing a holistic building envelope upgrade.
-
Color Matching & Custom Tinting: Whether preserving the original historic tone or selecting a modern update, we offer on-site tinting and sample approvals to ensure visual consistency.
What is Facade Painting?
Facade painting is the process of applying specially formulated coatings to the external surfaces of a building—such as concrete, brick, stucco, or stone—to protect the substrate and improve the appearance. Unlike residential painting, façade painting on commercial or multifamily structures requires scaffold access, surface repair, coating compatibility, and often compliance with NYC Local Law 11 (FISP) for safety and durability.
Why is it Important?
-
Painting a façade does more than refresh its look—it plays a critical role in building envelope performance:
-
Moisture Control: Coatings help repel rain, snow, and vapor—minimizing freeze-thaw damage and efflorescence.
-
Improved Aesthetics & Marketability: Clean, uniform exteriors boost curb appeal and perceived property value.
-
Protection Against Pollutants: Urban environments expose buildings to soot, dirt, and chemical pollutants—protective coatings resist absorption and staining.
-
Thermal Reflectivity: Certain coatings reduce solar heat absorption, lowering cooling loads in summer.
-
Early Problem Detection: Surface preparation often reveals early signs of façade deterioration, allowing for timely repairs.
