Project Scope

The scope of this project included the complete restoration of a metal staircase, addressing both structural and cosmetic issues. The primary objectives were to ensure the staircase's safety, functionality, and visual appeal for years to come.

Key Project Elements:

• Removal and Replacement: Damaged stair steps, first and second-floor landing plates, and deteriorated framing were carefully removed and replaced with high-quality materials.
• Surface Preparation: Rusted, chipped, and scaled paint areas were ground down to bare metal, followed by thorough surface cleaning to ensure optimal adhesion for new coatings.
• Priming and Painting: Newly installed components and exposed metal were primed with Rust-Oleum Metal Primer, followed by two coats of Black Glossy Rust-Oleum Oil-Based metal paint for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

Project Requirements & Challenges

Industry-Specific Requirements

Metal staircase restoration projects require adherence to strict safety and quality standards. The materials and techniques used must ensure the staircase can withstand daily use and environmental factors, such as moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Challenges

One of the main challenges was addressing the extensive rust and corrosion damage without compromising the staircase's structural integrity. Additionally, the project timeline was tight, requiring efficient coordination and execution.
