Hotel Guest Rooms Painting Case Study

Hotel Guest Rooms Painting

A Conference Center in Leesburg, Virginia was looking for professional preparation and painting of the approximately 325 guest rooms and suites. The overall goal was to assist the facility by updating the interior guest rooms and suites with a new contemporary look. In the process, we rejuvenated each appearance and restored the lasting durable protective condition. The project included professional coordination; communication; safety measures; equipment rental; preparation and cleaning; application techniques and processes; and the use of top-rated industrial-grade coatings and materials (Sherwin Williams).

Our goal was to recondition the paintable surfaces to restore the condition, protective properties, and new attractive color scheme of the Conference Center. Both the processes and the products used were of the best professional grade ensuring the finished results were enduring and looked great. In so doing, we gave the interior of each guest room and suite a fresh new look by transforming the color palette. When finished, our preparation and painting achieved a new appearance while significantly enhancing the protective properties and long-term durability.

The project was completed on time and on budget and the customer was very happy. We look forward to our continued partnership with the Conference Center in future endeavors!

About the Project

Condition of Facility:

This project, as part of a larger renovation, involved professional coordination with separate contractors and on-site facility management to ensure seamless operations from start to finish. Due to the size of the project and pre-determined dates for completion, we supported the facility operations by completing tasks at specified dates and times while also carefully and strategically working hand in hand with other contractors to ensure segments of the project stayed on schedule and met deadlines.

Project Involvement:

Setup and Preparation – We paid attention to the details to ensure all surfaces were properly prepared (“paint-ready”) prior to paint application. This included performing skilled Level-3 Professional Preparation to all surrounding surfaces ie. addressing all nail pops/holes, damaged drywall (including wall scuffs), repairing cracks and tape seams, re-caulking open seams around trim, and spot priming bare surfaces/repair work so as to ensure a uniform finish of the top coat of paint.
In addition, the project included removing cove molding (where carpet would be replaced) and installing, caulking, and painting quarter round molding along the ceilings of each guest room and suite. We coordinated with the Conference Center to have all furniture and miscellaneous items removed from each room and properly labeled and stored before we carefully masked and covered floors and mounted fixtures in advance of painting.
Primer – Sherwin Williams, Multi-Purpose Latex Primer was used on components where adhesion was in question or there was bare/new work.
- Sherwin Williams, Kem Bond Primer was used on room entrances to promote high adhesion and durability.
Paint – We top-coated all walls with Sherwin Williams, ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex in an Eggshell Finish. We top-coated all doors and door frames, vanities, and headboards with Sherwin Williams, Pro Industrial Pre-Catalyzed Waterbased Epoxy in a Semi-Gloss Finish. For newly installed quarter-round molding, we top coated with Sherwin Williams, ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex in a Semi-Gloss Finish.
We followed Sherwin-William’s specification’s in regards to preparation and applied wet film thickness of all products. These premium coatings far surpass other quality paints guaranteeing great lasting results that will enhance the properties appearance and reduce your maintenance burden. All paint was applied in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s minimum recommendations. Paint was applied using a brush/roller or spraying equipment with back rolling to avoid defects, streaks, and sagging.

Special Challenges:

The project was completed safely and efficiently. Due to the operational hours of the Conference Center and the pre-determined schedule requirements of the larger renovation project, we regularly coordinated with on-site facility management and provided daily and weekly progress updates on the project to ensure the completion of the project within the requested time frames. Overall, we delivered on the expectations envisioned by the Conference Center facilities and management and delivered extraordinary results.
