Patio Pavers: Seal-out Winter

Water is usually the cause of most injury to patio pavers. Snow, ice, and rain create an environment that invites moss and algae, which ruin the look of pavers. They are also difficult to remove. In fact, cold weather also leads to cracks and damage so severe that pavers may need to be replaced.

Winterizing Metal Surfaces

Not only are the days drawing shorter, but also the temperatures are starting to drop. Plan for the metal corrosion the harsh weather ahead will cause to your outdoor surfaces. B&M Painting can in most cases, protect against winter damage.  For this reason, Powder Coat is the best protectant for metal surfaces. In this case, we also employ Cerakote, a very thin yet amazingly durable ceramic finish. Furthermore, Cerakote even offers protection for automotive components.
