Universities & School Building Services

We care for your Universities & Schools

Universities and colleges help educate future generations.

As time goes by, these educational facilities need updates and renovations, not just to keep up with technological advances but to maintain the structural dignity of the buildings.

On the outside, university buildings need proper maintenance including consistent window cleaning, prompt leak repairs, proper fall protection equipment, consistent exterior repairs, and periodic exterior restorations.

Shared areas, parking structures, plaza areas, walkways, and maintenance areas all need consistent upkeep and repairs.

What We Do

Universities give students the opportunity to open their minds and explore career opportunities. While new ideas are percolating in the classrooms, water from outside the buildings may be penetrating the exterior of the structure. Water infiltration can cause your buildings to prematurely deteriorate, which can greatly depreciate the value of your investment. While it’s important to quickly address any leaks, it’s equally as important to understand and identify the source of the issue.

That is why our specialists take a closer look to investigate where and why the building needs to be restored. Building restoration describes the preservation, repair, and restoration of all areas of the building envelope. The ‘building envelope’ is the physical separator between the conditioned and unconditioned environment of a building. Structural damage is often found on elevated slabs, balconies, walkways, parking garages, and structural elements.

Our teams study each building inside and out to find out how to protect all structures from damage. From under your feet, to the top of the tallest building, we identify strategies to keep your investment protected. Nearly all types of building structures require some form of bird proofing to prevent, or remedy, damage and health hazards caused by the presence or nesting of various types of birds at properties.

Valcourt, working closely with our clients, carefully plans and coordinates each project to minimize disruption and ensure safe working environments. University properties need regular exterior maintenance and restoration to avoid preventable and expensive repairs—and that helps you extend the value of your investment.

For over ten years, our partnership has been marked by professionalism and excellence. We have expanded our collaboration with South Shore (A Valcourt Company) beyond window washing at the University Park Campus to include the comprehensive hardscape power washing program at USC Village. Your dedication and expertise have significantly improved our campus environment.

The personal attention to the project, your ability to problem solve and offer great advice was absolutely the customer service we were hoping for. I could not help talking about how absolutely thrilled I was with the work completed by Lupini (A Valcourt Company) for the community for Honeoye Falls-Lima Central Schools.

Honeoye Falls-Lima CSD

After looking at several masonry contractors in Upstate New York we elected to start the first phase with a local contractor, Lupini Construction Inc. They are a very knowledgeable organization and it became evident from the start that this is a firm we should team up with as we move forward with campus restorations. We have completed over 80 projects with them. Their company values and work ethic make my job easier.

EDS (A Valcourt Company) did an outstanding job of performing the work and equally important, coordinating with building occupants. There were no complaints throughout the project which was amazing in itself.

“I wanted to thank [Awnclean, A Valcourt Company] for taking care of my most important customers for me, the students and staff of the Citrus County School System. My superiors and I were thrilled with both the quality of the work and how quickly they worked to finish while still doing a great job. Our schools look great!”

[ANSI, A Valcourt Company's] level of professionalism, availability, and attention to detail have been a tremendous help in keeping our buildings looking great for the public, student-athletes, and the staff that reside at our facilities. We look forward to continuing our business with them in the future.
