From floors and walls to precast and tilt-up panels, concrete aesthetics is increasingly popular in commercial construction projects due to its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and durability. Painting precast concrete not only significantly enhances the appearance of your interior and exterior space, but it can also turn run-down industrial and commercial buildings into highly maintained and aesthetically appealing facilities.

Aside from the aesthetics, the most important aspect of coating concrete is for protection to preserve the life of your precast. When the coating on exterior concrete begins to fail several problems can arise, including:

  • Rust spots caused by exposure to moisture
  • Moisture penetration can compromise the rebar inside the concrete which causes the face of concrete to pop off (known as Spalling)
  • Hairline cracks which when left untreated can lead to larger cracks
  • Caulking (the disintegration of coating)
  • Compromised expansion joints (i.e. exposure to moisture)
  • And more

Competent Solutions for Complex Applications

Painting concrete is not as straightforward as it seems. Industrial concrete painting projects can range in complexity. Whether you're looking to paint bare precast concrete or repaint stained and previously painted surfaces for protective or decorative reasons, the experts at Allied have got you covered.

At Allied, we have the experience and resources to deliver the high-quality end product that will make your commercial and industrial facilities stand out.

How it Works

Planning, Preparation, and Execution

Step 1: What Are We Working With?

We start every precast project by determining what's on the existing surface before we begin. Most concrete surfaces are either bare, stained, or have been previously painted. Our experienced team will draft a custom strategy to meet your specific environment’s needs (complete with a timeline and itemized pricing).

Step 2: Project Preparation

All of our industrial concrete projects start with a thorough cleaning and prepping of the work area. Regardless of what we are working with, you can rest assured knowing that your project is in capable hands.
  1. To clean your site, we use a 4000 PSI Pressure Washer with a ROTO Tip to thoroughly wash down each panel
  2. We treat all rust spots by carefully drilling them out for removal. 
  3. Once rust spots are remned we treat each spot with a rust converter and patch each hole with epoxy.
  4. After thoroughly inspecting each panel, we caulk any hairline cracks to prevent further damage.
  5. Expansion Joints are repaired or Fully Replaced.

Step 3: Let’s Get Painting

Once we’ve cleaned and prepped the work area, we’ll recommend an appropriate paint and finish for the concrete surface. We’ll help you lock in your color and finish and can carefully begin the application process. Right down to the tiniest detail, we strive not only to meet your expectations but to exceed your expectations.

While we always commit to your timeline, we understand that plans can change. Our services and solutions are designed to remain flexible. If your schedule or needs shift during the project, we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. We also value open and honest communication, so if at any time a problem or concern arises, we’ll work hard to resolve them as promptly and efficiently as possible.

Step 4: Project Completion

Once we’ve completed your job, we’ll remove any leftover debris, vacuum, and dust to ensure your space is cleaner than before we started! Not only will your space look amazing, but you’ll have peace of mind knowing you've increased the value of your interior, exterior, office, or work site.
