Over the years, State Building Services has been trusted with the care and preservation of stone surfaces in some of the region’s most well-known and historic buildings. In Charlotte, the list includes many Wells Fargo buildings, Duke Energy Center, Founders’ Hall, and the iconic Johnston Building. State Building Services is proud to have served these landmark properties.
Not all stone is created, or cared for, equally. Older stone surfaces may exhibit signs of excessive wear or exposure to the elements that need special attention. Stone walls, trim, or terrazzo surfaces require specific care and maintenance and different intervals.
Whether it’s granite, marble, travertine, terrazzo, or other stone applications, State Building Services provides full restoration, stone and tile replacement, caulk and grout cleaning and repair. Communication is critical to addressing potential problems before they become serious issues, says Spencer Lueders, owner and president of State Building Services.
“Our rapid response reporting (R3) system gives property managers a daily report on our service activity, detailed work photos, and includes trouble-spotting for trip hazards and other safety issues,” adds Lueders.
Trip hazards like broken or cracked tiles are a serious safety issue and are always top of mind for property management. They are for us too. Mitigating the risk of a premises liability lawsuit resulting from a trip or “slip and fall” is paramount, and we are here to help.
As the industry evolves, State Building Services constantly aims to employ the most recent preservation methods, safest repair procedures, and “green” or LEED-compliant products.
“It goes beyond looks,” adds Lueders. “Maintenance is almost always less expensive than repair. It helps a building retain value, and that means happy tenants, and increased desirability, which typically translates to increasing lease rates.”
That’s easy math. If stone is part of the look and feel of your brand or building, State Building Services can make that look last, save money, and provide industry-leading stone maintenance and repair. Contact us for a building and property review!
