Transforming The Saucy Crab: A Fresh Look for a Local Favorite

Recently, CertaPro Painters of Homewood and Kankakee took on an exciting project for The Saucy Crab, a popular restaurant in Tinley Park. This local favorite has been known for its lively atmosphere and great food, so when it came time to refresh both the interior and exterior, it was crucial to preserve that same inviting feel. Here’s how we approached the project and delivered a fresh, high-quality look that matches the restaurant’s energetic vibe.

A Focus on Preparation

As with any painting project, preparation was key to ensuring long-lasting results. Before any paint was applied, our team took the necessary steps to prepare the surfaces, both inside and out. This included cleaning and repairing walls to provide a smooth and even foundation for the paint. By focusing on these important prep tasks, we helped guarantee that the new coat would adhere properly and stand the test of time.

For the exterior, we carefully inspected the building’s surface for any cracks or damage that needed attention. Outdoor elements like weather and daily wear can affect paint over time, so fixing those issues first was crucial to achieving a professional finish. We also ensured the area around the restaurant was properly protected to prevent any paint splatter or mess during the job.

Selecting Colors That Work

The Saucy Crab’s vibrant brand called for colors that would keep its fun and welcoming atmosphere intact. Our team worked closely with the restaurant to choose shades that enhanced the overall look while still staying true to the brand’s identity. For the exterior, bold, eye-catching colors were chosen to ensure the restaurant remains a standout in Tinley Park, grabbing attention from guests and passersby alike.

Inside, the goal was to maintain a comfortable and lively space for diners. The interior colors were selected to complement the décor and create a cohesive flow throughout the dining areas. By balancing brightness with warmth, we made sure the refreshed look wouldn’t overwhelm diners, but rather enhance their dining experience.

Precision in Execution

After the prep work was complete and the colors were chosen, it was time to get to work. Our team focused on applying the paint with precision, ensuring smooth and even coverage throughout the building. Both the exterior and interior required careful attention to detail, especially in areas that see a lot of traffic, like the main dining rooms and entrance.

For the exterior, maintaining consistency in the application was important, given the large surface area and the exposure to outdoor elements. Our painters paid close attention to edges, corners, and trim work, which are all critical to achieving a professional result.

Inside the restaurant, we worked efficiently to minimize disruption to the business. The job was completed on time, allowing The Saucy Crab to continue welcoming guests without extended closures. By working around the restaurant’s schedule, we helped ensure that business could continue as usual.

The Result: A Fresh and Inviting Atmosphere

The outcome of this project was a complete refresh for The Saucy Crab, both inside and out. The exterior now boasts a bold new look that continues to draw attention and welcomes diners through its doors. Inside, the updated colors help create a space that feels fresh, lively, and welcoming.

Maintaining the restaurant’s atmosphere was a top priority throughout the project. With the new paint in place, The Saucy Crab now reflects the same energy that has made it a local favorite for so many years. We’re proud to have been part of this transformation and to help ensure that this restaurant can continue to offer a great dining experience to the Tinley Park community.

This project is a prime example of how a fresh coat of paint can revitalize a space. Whether it’s a commercial property like The Saucy Crab or your own home, a professional paint job can make all the difference in the overall look and feel of a space.
