Meineke Auto Shop Repaint in Bourbonnais, IL

Initial Condition of the Facility

The Meineke Auto Shop had been showing signs of wear and tear. The exterior walls were dull and faded, clearly in need of attention. The surfaces had suffered from exposure to the elements, which had taken a toll on the building’s appearance. The brick walls looked old and weathered, losing the vibrant look that a business like Meineke needs to project professionalism and reliability. Before any painting could begin, the walls required a thorough power wash to remove accumulated dirt and grime, setting the stage for a fresh coat of paint.

Project Details and Process

Once the power washing was completed, the team at CertaPro Painters began applying two coats of ConFlex Sherlastic to all block surfaces. This choice of coating was ideal for the job, providing not just a refreshed look but also long-term durability against future wear and tear. ConFlex Sherlastic is known for its flexibility and ability to bridge hairline cracks, making it a perfect solution for buildings like Meineke, where high traffic and weather can cause damage over time.

The team focused on enhancing the overall appearance of the building while also ensuring that the new paint job would stand up to the rigors of daily business operations. The addition of new white accents around the building gave it a crisp, clean look that catches the eye of anyone driving by. The refreshed bollards and detailed work under the windows added to the professional appearance, making the building look well-maintained and inviting.

Overcoming Challenges

Rain delayed the work slightly, but the CertaPro team adapted quickly to ensure the project stayed on track. Despite the weather setback, the project was still completed in under three days, a testament to the efficiency and dedication of the crew. The result was a building that not only looked better but also reflected the quality and care that Meineke offers its customers.
