Health Care Facility Case Study

The project was based was based in a mental health care facility in a major metropolitan area in the southeastern United States. The client contacted their local CertaPro Painters^® franchise in early 2017 to conduct a thorough cleaning and repainting of the ductwork in one of its newer buildings. Pleased with the results, the facility manager quickly expanded the scope of the work to include a full repaint of the center’s offices, as well as the hallways, common areas, and sleeping quarters of the building.

Apart from the scheduling challenges posed by operating at a live-in facility with 24-hour service, much of the work was fairly routine. However, the facade of one of the older buildings did require significant repairs as it was riddled with hairline cracks. We repaired the hard-coat siding with stucco patches and an elastomeric coating, which required the use of a 65′ boom lift. This, in turn called for the closure of downtown streets, a detailed traffic plan, extensive permit approvals and signage, and off-duty police for traffic control. We handled everything.
