Advantages of Wood Furniture Restoration

 

  

Many buildings contain certain wood furniture pieces that provide appeal and functionality. Wood furniture, doors and walls provide beautiful aesthetics for commercial and retail facilities, but over time wood can fade, get scratched or look worn and unappealing. Property managers might think it’s time to look for something new there are options. Furniture repair and restoration could be just the alternative property managers are looking for.

Same Furniture, New Style

Even if your furniture is getting a little older, that is no reason why it can’t still last you for years to come. Getting your older furniture professionally restored can help it look fresh and new again. Whether you are looking to give your older furniture a complete makeover to suit your evolving tastes, or you simply want it restored to its original glory to help enhance the look and feel of your facility, furniture restoration can be your answer. Do you have a wooden chair or table that you love, but the color doesn’t quite match the rest of the wooden decor? Having your wooden furniture refinished by a professional specialist can give it just the look you want. Having your older furniture repaired and restored can give it a complete face-lift while still preserving the aspects that made it appealing in the first place.

Less Expensive Than Buying New

Many property managers know the prospect of buying new furniture can be daunting at the best of times, and downright grueling at the worst. With furniture restoration, however, even if the piece you need restored is large, it will still be less than the cost of having to replace it with something new. Opting for restoration instead of buying new can leave you with more money in your budget. This can give you the advantage of being able to create an entirely different style in your building in a cost-effective manner.

Eco-Friendly

Even though it may not seem like it, by restoring and refinishing your existing furniture instead of buying new, you are actually helping to do your part in protecting the environment. Scientific data shows that restoring and refinishing your existing furniture can drastically reduce your carbon footprint. It is estimated that the process of making new furniture releases over 1000 times more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than the process of restoring or refinishing your existing furniture. By restoring your existing furniture, you could be helping to do your part in protecting our environment.

Spruce Up for Spring!

Spring will be springing in a matter of a few weeks! Commercial facilities take a beating during the harsh winter months and an exterior deep cleaning procedure is a great solution for not only improving the appearance of the facility, but also for improving the health and safety of occupants and visitors.

Remove Contaminants with Ease

Built-up grime and dirt give a worn-down appearance to your commercial building. Exterior deep cleaning removes unwanted mess from the facade, masonry, concrete, and parking lots with environmentally friendly chemicals that will not harm landscaping. Removing dirt, broken-down paint, and mildew is easier and faster with this process.

Prevent Costly Repairs

Over time, the grime that builds up on the roof and sides of your building fence in moisture on the walls, causing growth of mildew and mold. Thus, scheduling regular exterior deep cleaning prevents rot and disintegration of your property in addition to eliminating biodegradable contaminants that can cause severe structure damage. It’s the best way to protect your building.

Promote a Healthy Environment

Your building’s exterior surfaces accumulate mildew, mold, and other bacteria that can be harmful to those working within it. If you are experiencing more sick days lately, it’s time to get your property deep cleaned by professionals. With their expert cleaning, pollutants clinging to the exteriors will be washed away. These elements cause health problems like respiratory issues and allergies. Regular deep cleaning services will help in preventing them.

Increase Your Building’s Value

If your facility is for sale, an exterior deep cleaning will make it sparkle with clean surfaces. Needless to say, a well-cleaned building attracts more eyes than a filthy façade. Whether your building is in a high-end neighborhood or a low-income area, good washing will definitely make it stand out and create the right impression.

Protect Against Injury

Professional cleaning of your building’s exterior can also prevent slips and falls which are among the most common workplace accidents. Deep cleaning your sidewalks, walkways, and parking areas can get rid of grease, mold, and other substances that are potentially dangerous to your employees as people may slip on it.

Clean exteriors increases the visibility of your facility, decreases erosion from Mother Nature, enhances curb appeal and improves health and safety. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and an aesthetically pleasing building does just that. For more information, contact KC Restoration today!

Thinking About Safety

Freedom from danger is an impressive goal for a company to employ, but to bring that goal to reality requires considerable effort: planning, training, commitment, management skills, and above all THINKING about safety. Thinking through and applying safety and health programs have proven to be an effective method of identifying and correcting existing workplace safety and health hazards.

Questions to Thinking About Regarding Safety:

  • Are you using the appropriate personal protective equipment for the job?
  • Can you identify the potential hazards in the workplace that you and/or your co-workers are exposed to daily?
  • What is your plan to avoid injury on the job and the first aid procedures to be used in the event of an injury?
  • Are you educated, trained, and experienced to perform your job safely?
  • Are personnel experienced and educated to handle or use chemicals or other harmful substances in a safe manner?
  • Do you have a plan in place in case of an emergency to make sure all personnel are familiar with proper emergency procedures?
  • Are you familiar with regulations applicable to your work environment and how to maintain compliance with these regulations?

Think About the Equipment and Machinery Operated at Your Company:

  • Only employees qualified by training may operate equipment and machinery.
  • The use of any machine, tool, material, or equipment that is not in compliance or is in need of repair is prohibited.
  • Machines, tools, material, or equipment must either be identified as unsafe by locking and tagging the controls so that they are inoperable, or physically removed from the job-site.
  • Only authorized, competent personal are permitted to perform repairs.

Think About Hazard Evaluations:

Compliant safety programs must provide frequent and regular inspections of the materials, operating procedures, personal protective equipment, job-site conditions, emergency procedures, safe work practices, hazard communication program (including MSDS sheets), and equipment.

To reduce the occurrence of job-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses, take a proactive approach to safety; think about the safe way to perform a task or project. Develop a compliant safety and health program, planned safety inspections, and proper training. The lack of adequate safety and health programs, hazard evaluations, and training are violations of the OSHA standards and show lack of attention to safety.

These guidelines do not supersede local, state, or federal regulations and must not be construed as a substitute for, or legal interpretation of, any OSHA regulations.
