Central Plaza is a constant-use high-rise commercial office complex consisting of four twelve-story buildings having retail stores and restaurants on the ground level. Built in 1952. In the early 1990s, it required an extensive exterior upgrade. As is the case on many large projects, after taking bids from numerous painting contractors, the upgrade project was put on hold due to high cost, in excess of 1.3 million dollars. This project was shelved for close to two years until Jim Parker met with the owner’s construction manager. Within 72 hours, Parker had a signed contract, placing manpower, material, and equipment on the job.
Parker completed the painting project in minimal time, doing extra work even painting the parking structure interior, line striping, painting stairwells, resealing the 3470 building windows, and providing a 20-year waterproof warranty. On Jan 17, 1994, the massive Northridge Earthquake struck, causing hundreds of annealed glass windows to break in these buildings; fortunately, most were tinted with inside film, saving glass shards from raining down. Again Jim Parkers’ painting company-owned access equipment was utilized, saving the owner money and time by rapidly installing over $250,000 worth of new window glass at considerable cost savings.
All of the masonry curtain walls and ground-level facia of these buildings were prepared, filled, a primus cement base coat was trowel-applied, then a worm-finish synthetic plaster was applied. Lastly, it was coated with an elastomeric coating. All non-anodized window mullions were painted. All the exterior surfaces of all four buildings were coated and painted by Parker in 1993. As of February 2021, they have not been repainted. Over twenty-six years of quality high use commercial service life with no paint failure. In fact, the job looks new. We can do the same for your project.
