Although Waco is a relatively small Texan city, coming in at the 22nd most-populous in the state of Texas, it has a hugely rich and storied history. That history has allowed it to thrive as an academic and technology hotspot despite its relatively small population.
Downtown Waco is relatively small, especially when compared to the larger cities in Texas, but its skyline is something that Waco residents and tourists alike absolutely love. With plenty of high-rise and low-rise buildings in the area, Waco is definitely a great place for a business to put down roots.
Industrial services have certainly flourished in Waco. This is partially due to the fact that Waco is hugely proud of its history, so it takes care of its buildings. City Wide can help your company take care of your building as well.
With more than 50 years of experience, CityWide is proud to be Texas’s premier complex commercial window cleaning service. Regardless of what you need to be serviced, whether a tall high-rise or a single-story retail location, we can provide you with property protection and maintenance.
CityWide also provides more than just industry experience. We’re proud to offer $10 million of insurance and the largest team of International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) certified technicians in Texas, both of which allow us to ensure the safety of your building. That’s why over 4,000 properties trust us. If you’re looking for the best building care in Waco, contact CityWide for more information.
When you have a commercial building, maintaining great-looking windows is incredibly important. This is especially true in the case of high-rises, as these buildings have a huge number of windows throughout, which will reflect a variety of smudges, streaks, and dirt marks. However, every building with windows should strive for cleanliness, as unclean windows can negatively affect your company.
Rather than settling for dirty windows, contact CityWide to learn more about your options when it comes to window cleaning.
Discoloration and dirt on the outside surfaces of your building can hurt what people think of the businesses inside the building. Even if you think you’re dealing with general discoloration, it may be dirt you cannot wash with traditional methods. What you may be looking for is pressure washing, which can clean off dirt and grime that has been building up for months and indeed years.
From air pollution on walls to pedestrian dirt on driveways and sidewalks, commercial pressure washing can help ensure your building looks great. Contact CityWide for more information about pressure washing your building.
The history behind Waco is some of the most storied history across Texas, which is one reason many people consider it a potential place for businesses to set up shop. However, with that comes a variety of needs for building maintenance. You’ll largely need to focus on three things: beauty, structure, and DIY options.
Your building’s beauty is certainly an important element of how you use that building. If you want to make your business’s building look even more beautiful, you may want to consider City Wide’s services, which include window washing, pressure washing, and high dusting.
The structural integrity of a building is also extremely important, as you probably would expect. It’s even more important in a historic area like Waco. Structural integrity can be something that’s relatively easy to manage; City Wide’s services, including building restoration, anchor inspection, and anchor installation are all great for structural stability.
Last, but certainly not least, you need to think about the DIY elements of your business’s building. Most of the time, you should leave these kinds of things to the experts, but if you’re going to manage certain elements on your own, City Wide has services to help, including equipment rentals and anchor load test certification.
Especially when you make it downtown, the architectural expertise of Waco is something to behold. Because Waco has a colonized history reaching back to the mid-1800s, much of Waco’s architectural design revolves around an older, more casual concept that you might enjoy looking into.
The tallest building in Waco is the ALICO building, one of the oldest buildings in Waco. It’s 282 feet tall, or 22 stories, and its initial building was in 1911. That makes it the second-oldest skyscraper in Texas, and its age has caused it to become a historical landmark according to the Texas Historical Condition. This tall building definitely looks like it came right out of a history book.
That history book appearance is by no means an accident. Building projects have been a crucial feature of Waco almost since its initial founding. In 1866, Waco citizens started the Waco Suspension Bridge, the first bridge to span the Brazos River, and completed it in 1870. This initial gigantic project was indicative of how Waco citizens would continue to see architecture in the city.
Regardless of what architectural designs you’re used to, anyone can see the beauty of Waco architecture. From tourists to longtime residents, Waco architecture never fails to get a second look from time to time.
Deterioration is a very natural part of owning any kind of building. Regardless of the building you own, you’ll eventually need to deal with building restoration, which can help with damage of all kinds, ranging from weather-related damage to general deterioration and even accidental damage from customers and employees.
The moment you notice issues with your building’s exterior, contact CityWide. That way, you can fix the problem early on, which is easier and less expensive.
With its love for a long-standing aesthetic, it makes sense that Waco would have both old and new buildings. The older buildings tend to have a rustic design, and many new buildings mimic that design as well.
Whether you’re in an old building, a new building with an intentionally rustic design, or a new building that has a more modern design, upkeep should be something you pay attention to. That includes upkeep in all aspects.
For example, in an older building, you’re probably going to have to invest more into the structural upkeep of the building. This is common because older buildings tend to have undergone more stress throughout the years.
On the other hand, in a newer building, you might be able to invest more into making sure the building looks beautiful and inviting. However, it’s a good idea to think about both beauty and structural integrity for all designs and styles
High-rise buildings and many other tall buildings have roof anchor systems built into the top. These systems allow crew and equipment to traverse the sides of the building effectively, which is helpful for services like window cleaning and repair jobs. However, these anchor systems need to be able to hold these workers safely and securely, which is why government regulations require building owners to get initial certification and an annual inspection for roof anchor systems.
With CityWide, you can get annual inspections, load test certifications, anchor assessments, and even installation services if you add anchor systems to an existing building. CityWide is the perfect place to fix all your roof anchor system needs.
If you’re looking to access part of a tall building that’s too high up for a traditional ladder or stepladder, you’re probably looking for atrium lifts, also called compact crawler lifts. Originally intended for tall atriums inside buildings, these lifts are the perfect choice for everything from replacing a lightbulb inside your tall building to adding signage outside your building.
With CityWide, you can access atrium lifts that rise to heights between 19 and 95 feet. If you don’t have your operator, CityWide can connect you to one of our trained operators.
Architectural restoration is an important part of many buildings with some architectural significance. Whether a well-known architect originally designed your building or you just have special architectural quirks in your building that you want to retain, architectural restoration allows you to handle these components with ease.
With CityWide, you can access wet glazing and window sealing, crack repair services, rust and stain removal, and concrete repair and cleaning services, all of which are important for maintaining the architectural structure of any building.
