Electrostatic Painters in Findlay Creek
Findlay Creek is a young neighbourhood, built mostly since the mid-2000s south of the airport and east of Bank Street, so almost all of its metal is original and fairly recent. Rows of townhouses share identical steel garage doors and entry doors, many detached homes have aluminum railings on front steps and rear decks, and the plazas along Earl Armstrong Road have aluminum storefront frames and steel service doors at the back of each unit.
Recent does not mean everything still looks good. South- and west-facing garage doors tend to fade unevenly, and a single replaced panel can leave a door with two slightly different shades. Townhouse condominium corporations often want every unit on a block finished in one consistent colour, which suits electrostatic spraying because the whole row can be done from the same batch of paint without the patchiness of brush and roller. For the retail units, we work around trading days and do storefront frames in sections so customers can still walk in. Stucco, brick and vinyl siding beside the metal are masked closely, since overspray on those surfaces is far harder to clean up than on a sidewalk.
Getting to Findlay Creek
Findlay Creek is reached quickly from Bank Street or the Airport Parkway, and townhouse rows can be scheduled block by block to suit a condo board's notice period.
Questions from Findlay Creek
- Our townhouse corporation wants every garage door on the block repainted the same colour. Can you do a whole row?
- Yes, and a row of matching doors is a good fit for this method. We use one batch of paint for the block so the colour is consistent, and we can work through the units in an order your board sets, giving owners notice before their door is done. Each door is masked separately so openers, weatherstripping and neighbouring trim stay clean.
- Is it worth painting our builder-grade steel garage door instead of replacing it?
- If the panels are straight and the door runs smoothly, refinishing is generally a much smaller job than a replacement and changes the look just as much. If the door is badly dented or the springs and tracks are worn out, painting will not fix those problems and we will say so. Faded or mismatched panels, on the other hand, are exactly what a refinish handles.
- Can the storefront frame on our retail unit be painted while we stay open?
- Usually, yes. We work around the entrance in sections, keep a clear path to the door, and choose a quieter part of your week to do the frame closest to the entry. Glass, signage and the door closer are masked, and we talk with you beforehand about where customers can and cannot touch while the finish dries.
