Commercial Painting Case Study

Project: Exterior Renovation of Crowne Plaza Hotel, Greenville, SC

Process: The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Greenville, SC presented a unique challenge as an aging beige stucco building constructed back in 1984. Over the years, the stucco had accumulated dirt, and unsightly dark streaks marred the building’s exterior in various locations. Additionally, stucco repair work was required to restore its structural integrity.

Our team embarked on a comprehensive process involving power washing, painting, and stucco repair. Given the size and complexity of the project, careful planning and execution were essential. Specialized equipment was employed, and the painting had to be carried out in sections, ensuring that hotel rooms remained unoccupied until each section was complete. Attention was also given to the parking lot, with appropriate sections blocked off to accommodate vehicles, while close monitoring of wind conditions helped minimize overspray. To access areas of the hotel beyond the reach of the boom lift, our skilled carpenter constructed custom wooden platforms for our painters.

To facilitate power washing, we utilized a drone, allowing us to efficiently clean the stucco surfaces. The majority of the hotel required the use of a boom lift for painting and repair work. However, even the boom lift had limitations, necessitating the construction of wooden platforms to reach the uppermost portions of the hotel.

Result: The project spanned approximately two months, as our dedicated team meticulously transformed the exterior of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The once-faded stucco regained its luster and the accumulated dirt and dark streaks were effectively removed. Stucco repairs were skillfully executed, ensuring the building’s structural integrity.

Upon completion, the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Greenville, SC emerged as a revitalized and visually striking landmark. The hotel’s exterior transformation garnered positive attention and admiration from both guests and passersby, enhancing its overall appeal and reputation.
