Dongan Hills native and construction-industry veteran Ken Iacoviello launched a new career in April with the opening of his local WALLCOAT franchise, a full service coating and painting contracting business. The home based New Springville enterprise specializes in "the high performance, exterior coating of residential and commercial buildings" explained the 53 year old entrepreneur.

The company's exterior coating, Cerama-Shield, a water -based acrylic coating that can be applied by spraying, brushing or rolling, " it is unique for many reasons," said Iacoviello, who graduated New Dorp High School before settling into a construction-industry career for over three decades. "It can be applied over just about any surface. It covers brick, stucco, cedar shake shingles, vinyl and aluminum siding."

According to the WALLCOAT company's Web site, www.wallcoat.com, Our history dates back to the manufacturer of all our products, Lanco & Harris Paints, one of the largest paint manufacturing and distributing companies in the world, which began operations in September of 1946 in Tampa Florida. Unlike paint or stucco, Cerama-Shield "expands and contracts and prevents the penetration of harmful UV rays," Iacoviello said. "It seals the buildings against external water, while still allowing the structure to breathe.
