If you walked through the front door at Big Dalton this summer, you may have noticed something in need of some tender loving care or missing…The Dalton School (sign, that is.) Time for a façade lift.

Maintenance Supervisor, Slawek Szczepankowski, assigned nimble and amiable staff member, Simeon Muncan, to gently remove the heavy brass letters and massage the familiar and weathered cocoa-brown paint down to its underlying zinc metal sub derma. The letters enjoyed a warm soak in anti-oxidant scrub solution to remove the telltale signs of age. Then, the smiling Simeon applied three fresh coats of enamel to finish the pediment-cure and went about the task of replacing each of the letters with a judicious amount of silicone. Ageless, The Dalton School sparkles again!
