Questions people ask about our Stainless Steel Restoration Service

Our elevator stainless steel restoration service is designed for hotels, resorts, condos, office towers, medical buildings, and mixed use properties across Oahu and the neighboring islands. We focus on high visibility cabs where scratches, graffiti, and dull panels are dragging down the overall look of the property and first impressions with guests, residents, and tenants.

We restore interior stainless steel wall panels, doors, and control panel surrounds, along with exterior hall doors and jambs where needed. The goal is to remove or minimize scratches and damage, then re-establish a consistent brushed finish so the elevator looks uniform again. Floor and threshold components are evaluated separately based on condition and scope.

Frequency depends on traffic and abuse. Many properties only need a full restoration every few years, with lighter touch ups as needed between projects. High traffic or vandalism prone elevators may benefit from more frequent maintenance cycles so scratches, graffiti, and wear are controlled before they become a major guest or resident complaint.

Most stainless steel restoration projects are phased so only one cab is taken out of service at a time. Each elevator typically takes one to four hours of active work, depending on the amount of damage and scope of the job. Work is done during the day or aligned with a maintenance week, with clear communication to guests and staff about temporary routing.

Many surface scratches, scuffs, and light graffiti can be removed or blended out so they are no longer obvious. Deep gouges, severe impact damage, or previous improper repairs may not disappear entirely, but we can usually reduce their visibility significantly. We set expectations during the walkthrough and may perform a test area on one panel before starting the full project.

Restoration works with the original stainless steel, removing damage and re-establishing the brushed finish, which keeps the authentic look and avoids landfill waste. Replacement or vinyl wraps can be far more expensive and may peel, chip, or show seams over time. Restoration is often the most cost effective way to make your elevators look new again without major construction.

Yes. We use professional grade abrasives and compounds with controlled dust and debris management. Work areas are contained, signage is posted, and we coordinate closely with engineering and security. Our goal is to improve appearance without creating odors, mess, or noise that would impact guests, residents, or day to day building operations.
