The Challenge
In 2011 Ryder truck rental hired Presto to paint the interior of their Peabody facility a single color. The manager at the time was very happy with the workmanship.
In 2013, Ryder was ready for a new look. They wanted to add some color to the exterior and interior of their facilities. Their top priority was timing. We painted the exterior of their Auburn and Roxbury facilities and later the same year, we painted the South Boston facility. Our professionalism and workmanship motivated Ryder to give us a try with the interiors. This time, they were going with a new llook which featured three colors.
Our Solution
Presto worked after hours and on weekends to complete the project without any work interruptions. They were happy with the clean work, and the fact that we have the manpower to get the job completed quickly and on their terms.
The garage bay walls were cleaned with CoroTeck oil & Grease Emulsifier then painted with two coats of PrepRite ProBlock prime & ProBlock Industrial Pre-Catalyzed water based finish. The garage bay ceilings were prepared, hand sanded to remove any rust & corrosion and painted with one coat of Benjamin Moore commercial Acrylic Dry-fall paint was applied.
The exterior building's material were either masonry or metal. The metal buildings were lightly hand sanded, cleaned and two coats of paint were applied (one coat DTM bonding prime & one coat DTM acrylic coating finish). The cement block building: scraped & sanded, re-pointed the cracks between the blocks with cement, and applied two coats of Masonry paint (prime & finish).
Presto continues to work with Ryder and will eventually paint all the Ryder facilities.
