My name is Eric Bowman.

I'm a property maintenance rep for the Sherwin-Williams paint company.

My name is Barry Dluzen and I'm the sales manager for Indigo Paint & Contracting.

We are at the Marriott Canyon Villas in Phoenix, Arizona and we are working on an exterior rehabilitation of the property.

The project involves the exterior hallways and the patios, as well as the exterior stucco and metal surfaces.

We're recoding the patios and walkways with Sherwin-Williams Sher-Crete Flexible Concrete Waterproofer.

Sher-Crete is ideal for new and existing horizontal surfaces, such as pool decks, patios, balconies and walkways.

It is also great for window and door trim.

Sher-Crete was chosen for this project due to its durability and ability to cover existing substrates and waterproofing characteristics.

The best application method for Sher-Crete is to first clean the surface with pressure washer and a light detergent.

Allow the surface to dry overnight and then go back and blow off the surface to make sure any dust has been removed and then apply the Sher-Crete product with a three quarter to one and a quarter inch synthetic roller cover and cover the entire surface ten to twelve mils wet.

Sher-Crete, because of its great adhesion, can go over existing coatings, as long as they are in sound condition and any problems areas have been removed.

The advantages to Sher-Crete are its elastomeric properties, which provide some mitigation against cracking, and its hundreds of color variations provide plenty of options for our customers.

My top three tips for working with Sher-Crete is to use the proper nap roller cover from three quarter inches two inch and a quarter, have a wet edge as you roll out the Sher-Crete, to ensure there is no lines, and apply the Sher-Crete at the correct temperatures between 50 and 100 degrees.

You can use H&C Concrete Sealers over the Sher-Crete to give it added durability and better cleaning abilities and also extend the life of the coating.

When additional slip resistance is needed, you can add H&C Sharkgrip to the Sher-Crete.

The benefit of working with Sherwin-Williams on a project, such as the Marriott, is the availability of the products and the number of products that we can supply for the varying substrates that we are coating out here, working to have delivery times set up and to know the times that we can get product to the contractor.

So they can complete the project in the limited time they have to not get in the way of the guests.

Marriott wanted an update and refreshed look to the exterior of the property.

Sher-Crete is a great solution for anyone looking for fast dry times, durability and aesthetic appeal.
