Commercial Case Study

Exterior Painting of LA Fitness in Austell, GA

Project: LA Fitness in Austell, GA enlisted our team of commercial painters to restore the large white metal crown at the top of the building just above the entryway. The structure was severely faded, chalking, and exhibited extensive rusting, requiring a thorough restoration process to ensure a durable and polished finish.

Process: The metal crown showed significant deterioration due to rust and prolonged exposure to the elements. To properly address these issues and ensure a long-lasting and professional finish, we developed a tailored approach utilizing specialized equipment and techniques. We followed a detailed restoration process:

• Surface Preparation – We began by power washing the structure to remove dirt, rust, and loose paint, ensuring a clean base for proper adhesion.

• Rust Prevention – A high-performance, rust-inhibiting primer was applied to prevent future corrosion and provide a strong foundation for the new paint.

• Precision Painting – Given the height of the structure, our team utilized a 60-ft lift to safely access and complete the painting process, applying a durable coating to restore the crown’s crisp, clean appearance.

Challenges & Solutions: Accessing the roof presented challenges, as entry was limited to a service hatch inside or the lift from the front of the building. Collaboration with LA Fitness was essential to minimize disruptions to their daily operations. The facility worked with us to clear cars from the front of the building, allowing safe access for our team and equipment. Despite the extensive work being done, we ensured that LA Fitness remained fully operational, maintaining a safe and accessible environment for their customers. Additionally, strong winds on two days prevented daytime painting, requiring our crew to complete the work after hours.

The Result: Despite weather-related delays, the project was successfully completed in four days. The refreshed metal crown now enhances the curb appeal of LA Fitness in Austell, providing a clean, polished look that withstands the elements.
