Retrofits with MSC: It’s Time to Give Your Old Steel Building a Facelift!
You’re proud of your business—remember to give your physical location love and care too.
Although steel is a highly durable building material, nothing is infallible to neglect. Maintaining your professionally constructed buildings is important not only to protect your valuable property and take pride in the appearance of your building but also to prevent more expensive repair work down the road.
While there are many simple tips for upkeeping your steel buildings, repairs and maintenance are integral to Metal Structure Concepts’ commitment to providing value-added service and lasting support to our clients across Western Canada. Let’s explore what sort of options are available with this service!
Scheduled Maintenance
While a new commercial steel building likely won’t need significant repair work for many years, it should still undergo an annual inspection. Proactive inspections allow you to identify any potential problems. This allows you to detect and correct issues while they’re still minor, saving you money by keeping repair costs to a minimum, preventing further deterioration of the building, and reducing potential downtime for more major repairs.
While qualified contractors can conduct these inspections, MSC offers scheduled maintenance as part of our value-added service. With MSC, you can be assured that we will be in constant communication with you regarding establishing a maintenance schedule that works for you. You’ll receive full records from us on any problems with your building and the steps needed to address them.
Older steel buildings may need a little more love than a new one. But it’s never too late to fix up a building, even if it’s been a few (or more) years since you had any work done. Fortunately, we help maintain all sorts of custom steel buildings, with repairs such as:
- Routine roof maintenance
- Fixing draining issues
- Resurfacing exteriors
- Sheet metal work
- Architectural paneling
- Miscellaneous alteration work
Retrofits
Sometimes your building requires more extensive repairs or upgrades. Sometimes you just want a fresh look for your building. With a little help from MSC, either is possible! Retrofitting is the practice of modifying a building after it has been erected and can look like many different things depending on your needs and wants.
MSC’s restoration specialties include architectural paneling, metal flashing, and steel repair, but that’s not where our service ends. Though not an exhaustive list, we can also perform complete roofing retrofits, reface or re-skin building exteriors, and fix roof drainage problems.
Regardless of your needs, MSC offers affordable and high-quality retrofits and maintenance for all our customers. Contact us to talk more about the specifics that you want to be done.
