Church Exterior Painting Project

Project Overview:

In the Spring of 2025, CertaPro Painters of Columbus, Ohio, was tasked with the exterior renovation of First Cornerstone Church, a large church facility located in Akron, Ohio. The project spanned four days and involved a comprehensive painting and preparation process to enhance both the aesthetics and durability of the church exterior. The scope of work included:

Scope of Work:

Painting Services:

• • • Soffits, Fascia, Gutters, and Downspouts
    • Brick, Vinyl Siding, and Wood Siding
    • Window Casings
    • Porch Ceiling and Posts
    • Doors and Door Frames
    • Shed
    • Outside of Building including the Garage Door and Electrical Boxes
      
      Preparation Work:
      • Power washing and caulking
      • Scraping and sanding, with heavy scraping on peeling siding
      • Priming all surfaces to ensure long-lasting adhesion

Equipment and Techniques

Due to the height of the building, a lift was required to safely access and paint elevated areas. CertaPro Painters coordinated with the property manager to schedule removal of awning at the rear door and filled in gaps and holes in the brick facade where old signage and awning had been attached.

Outcome

A revitalized exterior made an instant impact at First Cornerstone Church:
Positive Feedback: The property manager expressed satisfaction with the seamless project coordination and timely execution.
Long-Term Protection: Careful surface preparation and premium paint products ensure the building is well-defended against the elements.
Stronger First Impressions: The fresh look now reflects a polished, brand-consistent image that enhances the church’s overall presence.
