Interior Makeover for Assisted Living Community
by CertaPro Painters of Fairfax & Prince Williams
A Full-Scale Renovation
CertaPro Painters® of Fairfax and Prince William had the opportunity to work on a large interior project for an assisted living facility in Manassas, Virginia. The project involved a complete re-paint (color change) of all components (walls, applicable ceilings, trim, doors/frames, and window frames) through multiple corridors (“neighborhoods”) and common areas including lobbies, dining rooms, recreational/activity rooms, libraries, and lounges. This was an extensive project that required full setup, surface preparation, repair, and painting to every paintable surface and component.
Preparation is Half the Job
Our painters performed Level-3 Professional Preparation on all surfaces that were to be painted. This included patching holes, repairing cracks, and repairing surface damage (e.g., gouges, scrapes, nail pops that have broken through drywall). Our painters followed product specifications in regard to preparation and applied wet film thickness of all products. All paint was applied in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s minimum recommendations. Paint was applied using a brush/roller as well as spraying equipment with back rolling to avoid any defects, streaks, and sagging.
Paints Used on this Project
The Results
The project was completed safely and efficiently. It did require the use of ladders to efficiently and safely access elevated areas as well as difficult and challenging painting areas. In addition, to properly access each resident hallway and common area, we coordinated with property management. Due to the operational hours and regularly scheduled obligations, we coordinated with property management to ensure access to the project while also following through with completing the project within the requested timeframes and staying on schedule so as not to disrupt daily operations.
Overall, we delivered on the expectations envisioned by property management and delivered extraordinary results. Most importantly, we completed the entirety of the project without complaints from residents or staff which further enabled property management to entrust CertaPro with the project at hand while balancing working with other contractors.
On-site management was incredibly happy with the final results and CertaPro Painters’ commitment to delivering on our promises and ensuring an exceptional experience. We look forward to continuing to support the property now and in the future with all their painting needs!
