Restore the Lustre & Value of Your Building Envelope
Environmental exposure, atmospheric pollutants, and oxidation can rapidly degrade your building’s exterior aesthetic. Replacing architectural glass or metal panels is prohibitively expensive. Presto Restoration offers a cost-effective alternative. We specialize in the complete restoration and refinishing of high-rise exteriors. Using proprietary products and industrial access methods, we remove decades of damage, bringing your architectural glass, metal, and stone back to a “like-new” condition for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
In addition to facade refinishing services, we can help you with commercial building waterproofing services, historic building restoration services, and complete building consultations.
Understanding how these building materials interact and affect one another is the key to a successful restoration project. Presto has over 25 years of experience restoring and preserving all architectural facade surfaces. We're well-versed in every kind of exterior damage and know what products and techniques must be utilized and avoided to renew each surface type.
In addition to facade refinishing services, we can help you with commercial building waterproofing services and historic building restoration services. We also offer complete building consultations.
Architectural Glass Restoration
Standard window cleaning cannot remove deep-set mineral deposits or alkaline etching. We utilize our proprietary Glass ReSurfacer product to resurface damaged glass, removing hard water stains, chemical burns, and scratches. Once restored, we apply Glass Defender, a hydrophobic protective coating that prevents future staining and keeps your glazing cleaner for longer.
Metal Panel Refinishing
Faded anodized aluminum frames and oxidized Alucobond panels make a building look aged and neglected. We restore the original vibrance of your metal facade without painting. Our Metal restoration process and products removes oxidation and applies a clear, durable sealant that protects against UV degradation and restores the metal’s natural satin or high-gloss finish.
Stone & Precast Cleaning & Repairs
Porous surfaces like limestone, precast concrete, and granite require more than just cleaning, they require structural care. We perform comprehensive masonry repairs, including tuckpointing, concrete spall repair, and crack injection, to restore the integrity of the facade. Once repaired, we apply our advanced penetrating sealer to waterproof the surface. This step is critical for preventing alkaline leaching, a chemical process where mineral run-off from unsealed concrete flows onto adjacent windows, causing permanent, costly etching to your architectural glass.
The Presto Difference: Science & Safety
Unlike general contractors who use off-the-shelf cleaners, Presto manufactures its own line of high-performance restoration products. Our chemical solutions are specifically engineered for the vertical commercial environment, ensuring they are tough on stains but safe for surrounding silicone sealants and gaskets.
By strictly controlling the formulation of our products, we guarantee superior resistance to UV degradation and pollutants, enabling us to provide industry-leading warranties that protect your asset’s value far longer than standard market solutions.
We reach the unreachable. Our technicians undergo a rigorous, proprietary high-rise training program developed by Presto’s founders. This specialized curriculum covers advanced rigging, swing-stage operations, and industrial rope access protocols that meet or exceed OSHA standards.
Because our teams are trained specifically on restoration logistics, not just general access, we can safely service high-rise hotels, office towers, and hospitals with greater speed and precision than standard scaffolding contractors.
