Let's face it, office furniture usually doesn't wear out! 

On the surface, it appears worn and shabby with stains, nicks, scratches, and mars
from everyday usage; but underneath it's still solid, with many years of service left
. . . .  if only you could improve the appearance. 

An attractive, functional office is certainly important; but your company has better
things to do with it's hard earned money than spend it on new office furniture. 
Replacing your old office furniture is not only costly, but can also create chaos
in your workplace during the process. 
 

 

Why settle for worn furnishings. . . 

   when they could look like this.

Electrostatic Painting  - Our team of trained professionals; utilizing the electrostatic  process,
will repaint your metal desks, files, lab equipment, plant machinery, restroom partitions, or
other metal surfaces on-site during off hours to minimize interruption of your normal routines.
There is no need to empty most files and desks (lateral files and supply cabinets are notable
exceptions due to their low structural strength in the base).

 

We use only the highest quality epoxy paints (please see disclaimer at bottom of this page).
In addition to a wide array of standard colors; we can duplicate offerings from major furniture
manufacturers, or provide laser color matching for that special project.  The application process
combines a basic law of electricity (that opposite charges attract) with an engineered coating,
to give each piece of furniture  a "factory" finish.  An electrostatically applied epoxy finish is
extremely tough, while still retaining enough flexibility to resist chipping.  When the coating is thoroughly cured, it's  almost as tough as a baked-on factory finish.  Epoxy finishes offer
 superior moisture protection, chemical and abrasion resistance, and superb color retention.

Office Panel Restoration - If your office partitions are worn, torn, dirty, or just plain 
out of style; let us paint and recover them to coordinate with your new or existing
furniture, carpeting, wallpaper, etc.  We can supply panel fabric from most major
suppliers or furniture manufacturers in an array or colors, textures, and grades.

We can also recover work station storage bins and tack boards.

As with electrostatic painting, all work is done on-site during off hours to minimize
interruption of your normal routines.  Our crew will require only a small work area; 
and a place to securely store tools and materials while work is underway.

Desk and Table Cap Tops - Our laminated wood and plastic "Cap Tops" are individually 
custom fabricated to fit snugly over your existing desk and table tops to complete your
office refurbishing project.  Utilizing Wilsonart
© laminates; our stain resistant Cap Tops
are available in a variety of colors and patterns (including wood grains), and are
 permanently bonded to the old surface during our on-site installation.

So before you spend money needlessly, consider this . . .

Maximum Quality Control - no other product or procedure assures such consistent quality.
The coating is one of the most durable available.  All personnel are fully trained, fully insured, and centrally scheduled through our corporate office.


Color Coordination - we can match any color and help you coordinate to the panels, carpeting,
wall paper, etc. already in your office.


Safety - our equipment and materials meet or exceed all national and local safety standards;
including O.S.H.A. and Underwriter’s Laboratories.


Convenience - We come to you.  The work is done on-site, much of it at night or on weekends.
There is virtually no overspray with the electrostatic process, so there is very little mess. All you
do is have your employees clear their desks and work areas; and in most cases, when they return to work,  their furniture is back in operation again.


                       
. .  . all at a savings of 80% to 90% over the cost of buying new furniture.

Disclaimer for Electrostatic Painting of Office Furniture:  

 

Epoxy can usually be applied only over a factory finish or on furniture that has previously been refinished with epoxy.  When furniture has been repainted with non-epoxy finishes (industrial enamel, enamel, latex, etc.), we are normally forced to use either an acrylic or regular enamel to avoid lifting the old surface.  Although still very hard; acrylic enamel is not as flexible as epoxy and therefore may be more prone to chipping.  Much depends on the particular environment in which your furniture is located.   Regular enamel generally has the lowest durability of the three.  We advise customers of the product(s) we intend to use when a quote is provided; however, in some cases last minute changes may be required if lifting occurs after we begin work.  Such changes are normally discussed with the client before proceeding if a large portion of the job is affected.

Except as noted in the next clause, Preferred Interiors Enterprises will guarantee its work for a period of one year against peeling and fading when paint is applied over a factory finish.  Because of myriad conditions beyond our control, we cannot guarantee against chipping.  Adhesion cannot, and is not, guaranteed on previously repainted files due to the fact we had no control over surface preparation, product application, or the product itself during the previous painting processes. 

Repainting of files cabinets that have been water damaged by flower pots, coffee pots, etc. will be done on a "best efforts" basis.  Client will accept that a factory finish usually cannot be achieved in these areas.  Adhesion in these areas is not guaranteed whether factory finish or not.
 

Additionally, please be advised that we do not have a product that will "glue down" chipping or peeling paint due to poor surface preparation, application techniques, or product selection during any previous repainting process.

Many of the products Preferred Interiors Enterprises uses in the refinishing process have strong odors which may be offensive to people in the immediate and surrounding areas.  Preferred Interiors Enterprises discusses each particular project with the client and/or Building Manager during the quoting process and again upon arrival at the job site; and tries to schedule work in areas and at times which minimize potential problems.  Adjustment of ventilation and air conditioning may be requested.  A downtime charge of $500-1000 per day may be levied if we are prevented from performing our duties while adhering to previously agreed upon schedules and procedures.

A downtime charge of the same amount may also be levied if Preferred Interiors Enterprises is denied access to the building in violation of previously agreed upon scheduling and with no fault of its own; thus being unable to perform contracted duties in a timely and efficient manner.
