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.
