Company History

Presto started as a high-rise building maintenance services company in Atlanta, Georgia. Years of servicing a wide variety of commercial buildings affected by difficult to remove stains on the glass, metal, and stone surfaces led us to a shocking conclusion. The only solutions available involved the use of harsh chemicals that hardly worked, were short-lived, and were potentially dangerous to the applicator.  We also discovered that many of the products and techniques commonly used in the industry were outdated. In fact, many products and techniques actually caused problems instead of solving them. There was an evident lack of products and information in our industry.
 
Presto Restoration Products, Inc. was formed to conceptualize, create, and manufacture the first complete line of products that address the complicated issues involved in maintaining multiple architectural surfaces on commercial buildings. Presto has invested years of research and development, in finding solutions for the many different types of stains that develop on architectural surfaces. The end result is a company unlike any other in the industry. Presto is well-versed in the restoration and preservation of every type of architectural surface. Presto is the first to provide solutions for glass, metal, stone, and specialty composite materials.
 
Our high-performance line of products sets the bar for being environmentally safe by utilizing the newest chemical technologies available. Presto’s products and techniques work harmoniously to protect the exterior of commercial buildings, and create long-lasting results. This means a greater return on investment and a decrease in future maintenance costs.
