High School Painting Project in Plainview, TX

Exterior Painting Project for High School
CertaPro Painters of Lubbock, TX was hired to repaint the exterior of a high school campus in Plainview, Texas. It had been nearly 25 years since the school’s last exterior painting project, and it showed: paint was faded across the campus and cracking or peeling on several buildings. The scope covered the gymnasium, science building, music building, main high school building, inner courtyard, band yard, and other areas across the campus. That included roofs, roof lines, window trim, doors, gutters and downspouts. Some of the work was high off the ground, and all of it had to fit the school’s schedule. Our crew worked closely with the school’s project manager to finish every building within the designated time frame.

Initial Condition & Challenges:
Initial Condition & Challenges:Twenty-five years of West Texas sun, wind and weather had taken a toll on this campus. The exterior colors had faded noticeably, and on parts of the buildings the old paint was cracking and failing. Along the roof lines, the peeling paint was easy to see from the ground. The gutters and downspouts had rust and scratches. On the science building, the roof line had faded and chipped badly enough that the whole building looked older than it was.
The size and layout of the campus added more challenges. This was not one building. It was a group of structures, each with its own roofs, trim and metal surfaces. Many of those surfaces, including roof lines, upper window trim and the metal roofs, could not be reached safely with ladders. The school also had a set window for the work, so the project had to be planned and staged so every building was finished on time.
Our Approach
Surveying and documenting the campus. Before work began, our team walked the campus and documented every area that needed attention. That included failing paint on the roof lines and the rust and damage on the gutters and downspouts. This gave the school a clear picture of the scope and helped us plan equipment and staffing for each building.
Surface preparation. Pressure washing, scraping, rust-inhibiting primer, and more.
Reaching difficult surfaces safely. We brought in a 60′ articulating boom lift to reach the highest roof lines and hard-to-reach exterior areas. A scissor lift let our crew repair and repaint the exterior window trim at height.
Painting the roofs. The main building’s roof was painted black with spray equipment to get fast, even coverage across a large area. Between coats, our crew swept the roof clean after the first application had dried, so the next coat went down smooth and free of debris. Portions of the metal roofing on other buildings were painted blue to match the school’s colors.
Doors, trim, gutters and downspouts. The exterior metal doors were painted blue to tie in with the school’s colors. We also painted the trim line, windows, gutters and downspouts across multiple buildings.
Final walkthrough. When painting was complete, our team inspected the property to make sure each area met CertaPro’s quality standards before we closed out the project.
Trust the Team at CertaPro Painters for Your Next Commercial Painting Project
After nearly 25 years, the campus has a fresh, unified exterior. Every building now has crisp black and blue roof lines, refinished doors and trim, and clean, rust-free gutters and downspouts. The faded, chipped surfaces that had been visible from the parking lot are gone. In their place are strong colors that reflect the school’s identity and give students, staff and visitors a campus to be proud of. The new coatings also protect the buildings from the weather for years to come.
Schools face a familiar challenge with exterior projects: large, multi-building campuses, surfaces high off the ground, and a schedule built around the academic calendar. This project shows how careful planning, the right lift equipment and close coordination with the school’s project manager can get a full campus refreshed on time.
