Paint and Signage
Services include:
PAINT
- Process and supervise all painting requests for the University.*
- Wash and spot paint surfaces as required.
- Hang wall coverings and perform all standard scheduled building decorating.
- Provide various signage used throughout the University, including office signs, such as engraved door and desk nameplates or room numbers and interior and exterior building identification signs.
Note: The type of paint and the colors are chosen according to University standards in order to make maintenance as efficient as possible. In some cases, special colors may be requested at an additional cost to the requesting department although the colors still must be compatible with the standard colors used throughout the building.
SIGNAGE
- A variety of engraved or decal types are available and most existing styles, including A.D.A., can be matched.
- These signs are purchased from a local vendor and because of the volume we order can often be provided at a lower cost than other outside vendors.
