Commercial Case Study
Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Clarksville, TN
The Proposal
Five Guys Burgers and Fries hired CertaPro Painters® of Clarksville, TN/Hopkinsville, KY to refresh their Clarksville location. Both the dining room and bathroom areas required a new coat of paint and targeted repairs to restore the clean, welcoming atmosphere expected in a high-traffic restaurant setting. The project involved detailed preparation and repainting of walls, doors, and door frames throughout the bathroom hall and main dining area, as well as brand-aligned color transitions such as taping and painting for black wall sections and refreshing the white soffit. The goal was to enhance the restaurant’s appearance while maintaining brand consistency and avoiding disruption to business operations.
The Process
To ensure the restaurant could continue operating without interruption, the project was scheduled exclusively at night. The work took place over three nights in March 2025, allowing our team to complete the full scope without interfering with customer service or peak business hours.
Bathroom Hall Scope of Work
• Removed screws from wall signage; repaired and patched holes
• Scuff-sand walls and correct wall imperfections
• Taped lines for black accent areas
• Primed and applied two finish coats
• Scuff-sanded doors and door frames to promote adhesion, followed by two coats of paint
Main Dining Area Scope of Work
• Removed screws and patched holes left by signage
• Repaired a large wall imperfection on the center storefront wall
• Scuff-sanded walls and corrected surface flaws
• Taped lines for black accent sections
• Painted the soffit white
• Primed and applied two finish coats
Special care was required to work around existing furniture, kitchen equipment, and bathroom fixtures. This ensured surfaces were protected and all floors were fully covered throughout the process. We used durable, commercial-grade coatings designed for restaurant environments to ensure long-lasting results that stand up to frequent cleaning.
Consistent communication with restaurant management ensured alignment on schedule, expectations, workflow, and safety requirements.
The Result
The project was completed on time and within budget, delivering a revitalized dining and restroom space that aligns with Five Guys’ recognizable brand standards. The newly repaired and freshly painted walls and trim create a brighter, cleaner, and more welcoming environment for both customers and staff. This project highlights CertaPro Painters® of Clarksville, TN/Hopkinsville, KY’s commitment to quality craftsmanship, professionalism, and customer-focused service even when working under the unique challenges of nighttime scheduling and a busy commercial setting.
