Holland's Big Red Lighthouse, a
landmark of the Holland area for years has recently been fading from
the bright red icon we're used to seeing at the entrance to the
harbor to something more, how shall we put it...pink.
The last paint job on the lighthouse
was in 2009 when, according to John Gronberg, secretary and
commissioner of the Holland Harbor Historical Lighthouse Commission,
"the most expensive paint we've ever used" (not supplied by RepcoLite, for the record!) was brushed and
rolled onto the structure. It wasn't long, the harsh weather
conditions began to take effect. In the end, that high end and
promising coating failed much quicker than expected and the "pinking"
of Big Red was well underway.
Three short years later, in 2012, the
members Holland Harbor Historical Lighthouse Commission found
themselves actively looking for solutions to turn Big Red red again.
Happily, working with Lamar Construction, we were able to step in and
help.
Check out some photos showing the process and results!
