Chartwell Retirement Home in Calgary
Commercial Painting Project Highlight
Retirement Home Repaint Project in Calgary
Chartwell Retirement Home, an eight-story senior living facility in Calgary’s Eau Claire neighborhood, needed a full exterior repaint. The project included painting the entire building exterior, balconies, loading bay ceilings, and doors. Given the size of the building and its location, this was a large-scale project requiring careful planning, specialized equipment, and coordination with city regulations.
One of the biggest challenges was accessing all areas of the building safely and efficiently. The project required a 125-foot lift and Swing Stage Scaffolding to reach the upper floors. Additionally, traffic control permits and pedestrian safety measures had to be in place to ensure the project could be completed without disrupting daily operations or creating safety hazards.
After reviewing their options, Chartwell Retirement Home selected CertaPro Painters of Calgary for the job. Their experience in handling large commercial projects and managing complex logistical requirements made them the right choice for ensuring a high-quality result.
About the Project
Project Timeline and Scope
Work began on July 20, 2019, and took two painters 25 days to complete. The team worked efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to residents and staff while maintaining safety and quality throughout the process.
Challenges and Solutions
With a tall structure like Chartwell, reaching every part of the exterior safely required special equipment. The project used a 125-ft lift and Swing Stage Scaffolding to access all areas. Additionally, because the building is in a busy downtown location, traffic control permits and pedestrian safety measures were necessary.
The team coordinated closely with Chartwell’s management to schedule work in a way that minimized inconvenience. Daily updates and ongoing communication ensured that all expectations were met and that any potential disruptions were addressed promptly.
Results and Experience
Chartwell’s management was pleased with the outcome and the professional approach taken by CertaPro Painters. Given the success of this project, they would consider working with the company again for future painting needs.
For large-scale exterior painting projects like this, choosing an experienced contractor who prioritizes safety, efficiency, and quality makes all the difference. CertaPro Painters continues to be a trusted choice for commercial and residential projects across Calgary and Central Alberta.

Our Commercial Painting Process

No Building Is Too Tall
We rented a 125 ft lift especially for this project to help us get to the top of this very tall building. We don't let height stand in our way of delivering exceptional painting results.
Beautiful Architecture
We love this building because of the architecture, even if it was a bit difficult to paint at times. It's a good thing our professional painters are so good at what they do.
Swing Stage Scaffolding
The 125 ft lift couldn't do it all. For some areas, we had to depend on our Swing Stage Scaffolding. Not only does it allow more painters to paint the side of high buildings, but it helps them reach areas unreachable with other equipment.
