Painting New Jersey schools

Summer painting at New Jersey’s schools.  Summer at a school is a beehive of activity, painting , cleaning and repairing.  All with very little time to get the work done.

As one of New Jersey’s premier Painting contractors, Spectra Painting, Inc is proud of our reputation with local school systems.  We have been producing quality work at many area schools since the late 1990s.

Summer is fully upon us and so too is our School work.  We recently completed an Auditorium repaint at Wall Intermediate and are currently working at Rumson Schools, followed by Warren Township and  Fairhaven.

These jobs require quick turn around as the staff needs time to put the classrooms back in order for the start of the new school year.

The paint of choice these days is a water based pre catalyzed epoxy.  It is super durable, easy to apply and staff can touch up as needed without the need to mix a normal epoxy.

 

Intumescent Fire proofing – Fire retardant coating – Fire proof paint

Spray on Intumescent Fire proofing .  We recently attended a class hosted by Sherwin Williams in Edison, NJ  concerning there Intumescent Fire retardent coating.  It was well attended and many questions and comments were brought forward.  We learned about ratings and thicknesses based on steel type and coating thickness. Competitors such as Carboline and Albi were discussed as to the differences in application and initial coating thickness.  We have applied other Intumescent coatings in the past and look forward to using  Firetex.

Painting at the Historic Waterloo Village – What a pleasure

We have begun a project at Waterloo Village, repainting two 18th century buildings. Painting at the historic Waterloo village was an honor. One building we’re working on is the Carriage house, the other is the Seymour Smith House.

Care must be taken when preparing these structures for paint. Only mild soap and light bleach should be used. Low pressure water rinse. And then a lot of hand scraping . Followed by light sanding, Primer , caulk and finish coats. Colors are selected by identifying the underlying coats of paint and choosing the correct time period.

Painting at the Historic Waterloo Village – What an honor, indeed!
