Interior and Exterior Church Repainting in Downtown Auburn
CertaPro Painters® of Columbus, GA and Auburn, AL
Project Overview
CertaPro Painters® of Columbus, GA and Auburn, AL completed a comprehensive repainting project for the historic First Presbyterian Church located in downtown Auburn, AL. The project included both interior and exterior painting, with a strong focus on preserving the character of the building while refreshing its overall appearance.
Given the age and historical significance of the church, the work required careful planning and attention to detail to maintain the integrity of the space while delivering a clean, updated finish.
Condition Before the Project
Prior to repainting, the church had not been updated in over 20 years. Interior surfaces showed noticeable fading, along with visible water stains throughout various areas of the building.
Many architectural elements featured intricate details and multiple shades of white, requiring a precise approach to ensure consistency while maintaining the original aesthetic. The condition of the surfaces called for a full repaint to restore brightness and uniformity across the space.

Location: Auburn, Alabama
Project Timeline: April 2026
Project Duration: 4 Weeks
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:
The project included both interior and exterior painting of the church. Interior work focused on walls and detailed architectural features, requiring brush-and-roll application to maintain control and accuracy across complex surfaces.
Exterior painting helped further refresh the building’s overall appearance, ensuring a cohesive transformation inside and out.
CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS:
One of the primary challenges was working within the church’s interior layout, particularly navigating the aisles and tight spaces with large equipment. The intricate design elements and varying shades of white also required careful coordination and precision to achieve a consistent, professional result.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT & TECHNIQUES:
A 30-foot scissor lift was used to safely access high interior surfaces, including ceilings and upper architectural details. Due to the detailed nature of the work, brush-and-roll techniques were used throughout the interior to ensure clean lines and proper coverage across intricate features.
The Results
The completed project restored the church to a bright, refreshed condition while maintaining its historic character. Updated coatings eliminated stains and fading, bringing new life to both the interior and exterior surfaces.
CertaPro Painters® of Columbus, GA and Auburn, AL successfully delivered a high-quality transformation that enhances the appearance and longevity of this important community landmark.
