Light Pole Painting: Ensuring Safety and Curb Appeal
Proper maintenance of exterior light poles is essential for both safety and aesthetics. Oxidized and rusted poles not only appear neglected but can also compromise long-term structural integrity. This project ensures Martin-Brower’s property remains visually appealing and professionally maintained.
Challenges Faced
- Oxidization: Surface corrosion made the poles look old and unkempt.
- Rust: Certain areas required detailed wire brushing and treatment to prevent further deterioration.
Our Approach & Painting Process
- Thoroughly washed all poles to remove surface oxidization.
- Wire-brushed rusted areas to prep for coating.
- Applied a two-component epoxy primer from Tnemec for adhesion and rust protection.
- Finished with two coats of two-component polyurethane for long-lasting durability and a polished appearance.
Final Results
The light poles now feature a smooth, consistent finish that enhances the commercial property’s curb appeal. The project met all client expectations, maintaining structural integrity while delivering a clean, professional appearance. The repeat client expressed high satisfaction with the quality and efficiency of the work.
