| The Challenge: The owners of the Farm Credit
Building had spent eleven months, hired three
different cleaning companies and spent in excess
of $500,000 unsuccessfully attempting to clean
the exterior of their unique building. The
badly stained exterior had not come clean in
the previous attempts using other cleaning
companies; making the job tougher was the soft
Indiana limestone exterior that precluded any
sort of abrasive cleaning methodology.
The
Solution: We were hired to solve the problem
in November
of 1995. Three days after
we had been selected, the building was cleaned
exactly to the owners’ specifications
and at a fraction of the cost of the previously
unsuccessful efforts. The building’s
owners were amazed: not only with the fact
that the building was successfully cleaned
but with the time it took to complete the
job. After spending nearly a year attempting
to clean the exterior, we cleaned the estimated
145,000 square feet of building exterior
in just a few days. No scaffolding was used
to complete the task.
The Result: Management
of the building was so pleased with the
result that they achieved
through our company that they retained the
company to complete a bi-annual maintenance
cleanings on the building. “They have
restored the building to its original appearance…something
which you promised but I did not think was
possible,” said Timothy J. Fletcher
of the FCS Building Association, owner of
the Farm Credit Building.
