If you’re in the education field, you know how tough it can be to maintain your facility while school is in session. From safety concerns to the logistics of moving kids and classes around the building, making upgrades while operating as usual can be a headache. That’s why you should consider taking advantage of the winter break – while the kids are home for the holidays – to make those necessary upgrades and keep your staff and children safe. Here are some ideas to get your wheels turning.
In all facilities, but particularly in school buildings, the floors can take quite a beating. Think about what school flooring endures: sneakers, cleats, desks, chairs, backpacks, basketballs, food and drink of all kinds, not to mention hundreds or thousands of kids running and jumping through the halls or gymnasiums.
So if you haven’t replaced your commercial flooring in a while, consider it overdue. And there’s no better time to tear out old carpet or replace bathroom tile than the holiday break, when the building is empty. And working with a knowledgeable service provider will ensure that you can get the job done in time, on budget, and correctly – whether it be an installation of epoxy flooring, concrete waterproofing on the sidewalks, or laying a chemical resistant coating in the science lab.
Consider getting a professional interior commercial paint job in your classrooms, hallways, and cafeteria. Just like the wear and tear that happens with flooring in schools, the walls can easily become scuffed or stained with all the activity and people utilizing the buildings on a daily basis. Besides, old, faded, or chipped paint doesn’t give parents who may be touring the facility the highest impression of your school.
And don’t forget the outside of your school buildings! These exterior surfaces in particular can become faded and dingy with years of withstanding sunlight and other elements. Keep in mind that due to the size of most education facilities, commercial exterior painting is a job best left to the experts.
A professional paint job can very quickly and easily enhance the overall look of your education facility, and the fumes will be gone by the time the kids come back from their holiday break.
If you’re not ready to make a move like repainting the interior or exterior of your facility, or you don’t want to replace carpet, tile, or concrete, you can still give your school a lift with power washing services. Power washing is very popular for high-traffic areas like sidewalks and walkways.
Power washing can help remove the dirt, debris, and other grime that accumulates on the walls of your school without damaging the surface. This is an excellent option for a speedy service that will leave your existing surfaces sparkling.
