Honolulu, HI Facade Restoration, Caulking & Waterproofing Coatings

Sealant Replacement, Concrete Spall Repair and Facade Restoration for Honolulu Commercial Buildings

Commercial Facade Restoration Contractors in Honolulu, HI

Honolulu buildings never get a season off. Trade winds carry salt spray from the Pacific across Waikiki, Kakaako, Ala Moana and the downtown business district every day of the year, and the tropical sun delivers strong UV in January as well as July. Passing showers wet the walls and dry them again several times a day, and on some days volcanic haze from the Big Island adds an acidic film. Together they corrode metal, break down sealants and coatings, and push salt into concrete until the steel inside begins to rust.

Presto Restoration has more than 25 years of experience restoring commercial building exteriors across the country. In Honolulu we restore concrete condominium and hotel towers, office buildings on Bishop Street, hospitals and medical offices, university and government buildings, shopping centers and the historic buildings downtown and in Waikiki. Our crews replace failed sealants, repair spalled concrete and stucco, restore corroded metal and salt-hazed glass and apply coatings made for a marine climate.

OUR FACADE RESTORATION SERVICES IN HONOLULU

Commercial Caulking & Structural Sealants

Constant sun, salt and moisture shorten sealant life in Honolulu, especially on joints facing the trade winds. Once caulking hardens or loses its bond, wind-driven rain gets in. We cut out the old sealant, clean and prime the joint, set backer rod and install silicone or urethane rated for UV and marine exposure.

Architectural Metal Restoration

Aluminum storefronts, railings, window frames and metal panels pit and corrode quickly in Honolulu’s salt air. We clean off salt deposits and corrosion, repair and refinish architectural metal in place and reseal where it meets glass and concrete. Owners often pair this with our Honolulu commercial waterproofing services.

Glass Restoration

Salt spray dries into a haze on Honolulu glass, and mineral spotting from sprinklers and rain can etch the surface over time. We remove the deposits, polish out light etching and protect the glass with Glass Defender, the treatment we manufacture to keep glass easier to clean.

Elastomeric Waterproof Coatings

Concrete and stucco walls here need coatings that hold up to year-round UV and frequent showers while still letting the wall breathe. We repair cracks and spalls first, then apply elastomeric coatings or penetrating water repellents suited to the surface.

Stone & Precast Concrete Restoration

Most of Honolulu’s towers are cast-in-place concrete, and lanai edges, slab edges and balcony rails are where salt reaches the reinforcing steel first. When that steel rusts it swells and pops off pieces of concrete. We remove damaged concrete, treat or replace corroded steel, rebuild the surface with compatible repair mortar and seal it against further moisture.

Commercial Brick Repointing & Tuckpointing

Downtown Honolulu’s older buildings carry cast stone, terra cotta, coral block and decorative concrete. Salt and moisture wear down mortar joints and loosen trim. We repoint with mortars matched to the original materials and repair or secure loose pieces.

Our Facade Restoration Process in Honolulu

Every Honolulu facade project follows five steps, and you approve the findings, plan and pricing before work begins.

Building Envelope Survey

We document every elevation, noting failed joints, spalled concrete at lanais and slab edges, corroded metal and worn coatings.

Diagnostic Testing

Sounding, moisture readings and water tests show how far salt and water have reached.

Scope & Planning

Findings become a written scope and a schedule planned around residents, guests and tenants.

Restoration Execution

Crews work from swing stages, lifts or rope access and protect lanais, pools and walkways below.

Closeout & Warranty

You receive photo records, product data and warranty documents.
