Every building has its own set of challenges, and a knowledgeable specialist is crucial to ensure the correct services are performed on specific surfaces. We have inspected countless buildings over the past 25 years, and this experience means we know how to diagnose a problem, develop the solution, perform the service, warranty the service, and maintain client connections to monitor long-lasting results.
At times, property owners, managers or their consultants have established relationships with a different local service provider. And that’s okay! We respect these existing partnerships. Presto can still bring specialized expertise and knowledge to the table, collaborating as an exterior building envelope consultant.
SERVICE-MINDED: Our extensive history as service providers affords us the perspective required to ensure that the recommendations given are practical and achievable.
Product Specialists: In addition to a thorough understanding of all architectural building surfaces, Presto specialists have advanced knowledge of the chemicals required to restore and maintain these exterior surfaces as well as how these products and surfaces interact. Presto’s complete chemical product line is the first and only in the industry to include solutions for every architectural surface on a building’s exterior. Whether treating glass, metal, or various types of stone, Presto Restoration Products have outperformed other product lines worldwide.
This combined product and service expertise is why so many restoration and waterproofing consultants choose to include a Presto advisor on their team.
We offer site inspections, resulting in a report with digital photos and an explanation of each problem area. While some inspectors may choose to use drones, we believe that this may overlook issues. We prefer to have our hands and eyes on each square foot of a building’s exterior.
We also work with consultants to determine why a problem persists on a building after a former product or service application. We can identify the issue, pinpoint how it happened and recommend a solution for repair.
Presto will perform product tests in select areas to show the client results of a particular solution. We can work with other building consultants, engineers and architects to determine the best combination of products and services for a specific situation on the building’s exterior.
Presto can provide specification and training for the Presto Restoration Products that are best suited for each exterior issue. We are also happy to recommend alternative products to meet the client’s needs.
Based on inspections and/or testing applications, Presto can provide estimates to inform a larger project budget. We also work with property managers and consultants in the contractor selection process. We can review contractor bids and advise on pricing, approach, thoroughness, and potential risk.
