The way this site protection held up throughout the demo and post-demo cleanup makes me a happy boy.
Using the Armour Board (wall protection) and the Armour Tape (blue and red tapes) from Axiom Surface Protection really let the guys from West Crow Contracting create a full protective blanket for this site; without any areas left unprotected for errant garbage carts, etc.
We had extra pieces of Armour Board, and actually lined the hallways with it, and stood two pieces upright to totally protect the 8' door.
The Armour Tape deserves extra recognition. If you look closely you will notice a complete lack of painters tape. This Armour Tape you can apply directly to finished surfaces! No need for taping twice!
I have had the Armour Tape down on the finished floors and walls in this project for 24 days now and it is still holding strong and everywhere I've tested pulling it off of a finished surface, I have done so completely without incident.
All in, because we spent so much time protecting the site, the actual demolition part of the scope took less than a day! More time on the front end developing a plan and a near to-the-hour itinerary may seem like a lot of phone calls and emails for a small 3-4k demo scope, it pays off in the end when you don't have to go back to your client for more money before the job is really even getting started!
I also wanted to give a shoutout to the 505-Junk team. With 2 crews and the help of the West Crow Contracting team I had on site, we were able to get 2600 lbs out of the apartment, through a commercial loading bay, and out of the building, by first coffee. And West Crow had the floor clean enough for me to lay down for this photo op before lunch.
