Refreshing Otterbein SeniorLife

In August 2025, CertaPro Painters of Dayton completed a two-week interior renovation project at Otterbein Tipp City SeniorLife Community in Tipp City, Ohio.

Situated on a beautifully landscaped 40-acre campus, this senior living community provides a full continuum of care including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services.

The goal of the project was to modernize interior hallways and common areas that had not been updated in more than 15 years. Aging wallpaper, outdated colors, and visible drywall damage had contributed to a worn appearance that no longer reflected the welcoming and comfortable environment the community strives to provide. Through careful preparation and coordinated scheduling, our team refreshed the space while maintaining safe, uninterrupted daily operations for residents and staff.

About the Project:

Scope of the Project:

The renovation included complete wallpaper removal, drywall repair, and interior repainting throughout corridors and shared common areas. Existing wallcoverings were carefully removed, followed by repair of damaged drywall and correction of areas affected by long-term wear and minor water damage.

Once surfaces were restored, the team applied fresh interior coatings using modern color selections designed to brighten hallways and create a clean, updated appearance consistent with contemporary senior living environments. Proper preparation and finishing ensured smooth, uniform surfaces capable of withstanding daily traffic within an active healthcare setting.

Challenges and Special Techniques:

A key challenge of this project was completing renovation work within a fully occupied senior living facility. Resident comfort and safety remained the highest priority throughout all phases of construction. Work areas were carefully controlled to ensure walkways remained accessible at all times for residents, visitors, and medical staff.

Drywall repairs required strict dust containment procedures to protect indoor air quality, while low-VOC paints were selected to minimize odors during application. Daily coordination with facility leadership allowed crews to phase work strategically, keeping residents informed and reducing disruption to normal routines. This collaborative approach ensured the project progressed efficiently while maintaining a calm and safe environment.
