Offseason Checklist

Prepping Building Facades in Myrtle Beach and South Carolina

As the busy tourist season winds down, building managers and developers have a prime opportunity to tackle maintenance projects that may have been put on hold. One key focus should be the facade, especially in coastal areas where environmental factors like sea salt, humidity, and wind take their toll.

Thank you for requesting an estimate. We will be in touch shortly to coordinate a site visit.

 

Off-Season Maintenance Checklist

  • Inspect for Metal Corrosion: Look for rust on metal surfaces and clean off any salt buildup. Apply protective coatings designed for coastal conditions.
  • Assess Masonry and Concrete: Check for cracks or signs of spalling and repair them to prevent water and salt from causing further damage.
  • Refresh Paints and Coatings: Reapply marine-grade paints to protect against coastal elements.
  • Clean Windows: Remove salt buildup on windows and frames to prevent deterioration.
  • Check Roofing and Gutters: Make sure roofs are watertight and gutters are clear to avoid clogs and water damage.
  • Examine Woodwork: Inspect wood elements for rot or warping and apply treatments to extend their lifespan.
