About the Project:

Franchise: CertaPro Painters of Central Washington
Type: Commercial
Location: Yakima, WA
Date: March 2024
Duration: 6 days
Scope: Painting cement walls and metal beams in a 20,000 sqft warehouse

Project Description

In March 2024, CertaPro Painters of Central Washington undertook a significant commercial painting project in Yakima, WA. The project involved painting the interior of a 20,000 sqft warehouse used for apple packing. This task required painting cement walls and metal beams, presenting unique challenges that demanded specialized techniques and equipment.

Challenges and Solutions

  1. Rust on Metal Beams:
    The metal beams in the warehouse had significant rust, necessitating the use of specific products to ensure proper paint adhesion. Our team meticulously cleaned and sanded the beams to prepare them for painting, ensuring a durable and smooth finish.
  2. Cement Walls:
    Painting cement walls required a careful approach to ensure the paint adhered properly. We used high-quality, specialized primers and paints designed for cement surfaces. The preparation involved extensive cleaning and sanding to create an optimal surface for painting.
  3. Food Safety Compliance:
    Since the warehouse was used for apple packing, maintaining food safety standards was crucial. We took extra precautions to prevent paint from contaminating any packing equipment. This involved strategic planning and execution to protect the equipment throughout the painting process.

Equipment and Techniques

To tackle the height and size of the warehouse, we employed the following equipment and techniques:

  • Lifts: We used lifts to reach the peak of the 30-foot walls, ensuring comprehensive coverage and safety for our team.
  • Large Sprayers: To achieve proper paint coverage on the extensive surface area, we utilized large sprayers, which allowed us to efficiently apply the paint and achieve a consistent finish.
  • Caulking Expansion Joints: Between the windows and brickwork, we applied a backer rod and caulking to manage expansion joints effectively, ensuring long-term durability and a professional appearance.

Results

The project was completed within six days, delivering a refreshed and professional look to the warehouse. Our meticulous approach ensured that the paint adhered properly to both the cement walls and metal beams, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. The warehouse not only looked significantly improved but also maintained its food safety standards throughout the process.

Conclusion

CertaPro Painters of Central Washington successfully transformed the 20,000 sqft apple packing warehouse in Yakima, WA, overcoming several challenges with specialized techniques and equipment. The project exemplifies our commitment to quality, safety, and client satisfaction in commercial painting projects.
