Apartment Stairwell Repainting Case Study

About the Project:

What city and state did the project take place in: Norristown, Pennsylvania

When did the project take place?: December, 2023

How long did the project take, start to finish?: Our dedicated team at CertaPro Painters® of Central and Lower Bucks County completed this extensive stairwell repainting project in 4 weeks. This accomplishment underscores our commitment to efficiency, precision, and minimal disruption to our clients’ operations.

Description of Project: The project entailed a thorough refurbishment of two apartment buildings, each featuring two stairwells. Our objective was to rejuvenate these high-traffic areas, enhancing both their durability and aesthetic appeal. The scope of work covered the painting of block walls, ceilings, doors, door frames, piping, stringers, risers, treads, floors, railings, and the underside of stairs, transforming these functional spaces into welcoming areas for residents.

What did the project involve? The chosen paint, Multi-Surface Acrylic, stood out for its versatility and durability, adhering effectively to a variety of surfaces and eliminating the need for multiple products. This choice streamlined the project timeline and facilitated an efficient application process. Furthermore, the use of Armorseal Tread-Plex, a robust one-part floor coating, allowed for a rapid application and drying process, enabling a quicker reopening of the stairwells with minimal inconvenience to residents.

Special Challenges: Executing the project in fully operational apartment buildings presented significant logistical challenges. Coordination with the property manager and effective communication with residents were critical to navigate the complexities of maintaining access while ensuring safety. Our team crafted a meticulous schedule, tackling one stairwell per week and utilizing caution tape and protective measures to manage the work areas effectively. Despite instances of resident interference, our proactive strategies and enhanced safety measures ensured the project’s smooth and secure completion.

The Result: The completion of this stairwell repainting project stands as a testament to the adaptability, skill, and professionalism of CertaPro Painters® of Central and Lower Bucks County. The project not only revitalized the appearance of the stairwells but also improved their resilience, meeting the client’s needs with minimal disruption. This case study exemplifies our holistic approach to project management, emphasizing safety, efficiency, and client satisfaction. We take pride in our ability to exceed expectations, delivering superior results that enhance the form and function of our clients’ properties.
