Historic Home Restoration by CertaPro Painters® of North Bergen County

Historic homes are not just architectural marvels but also storehouses of memories and local history. CertaPro Painters® of North Bergen County recently undertook a project that involved painting a historic house in Norwood, NJ, blending expertise with care to ensure the structure’s beauty and integrity were preserved.

Challenge:

The home’s stature and design required the use of a 60-foot boom lift. Given the equipment’s size and the delicate nature of the home’s surroundings, there was an acute need to ensure the customer’s lawn and driveway remained undamaged.

Project Details:

Location: Historic House, Norwood, NJ
Special Equipment: 60-foot boom lift
Siding: Aluminum
Duration: July 2022, completed in 5 days

Approach and Execution:

Preparation: Before the project began, CertaPro Painters® conducted an on-site evaluation to determine the best positioning for the boom lift, ensuring minimal impact on the lawn and driveway.

Equipment Handling: Operating a 60-foot boom lift, especially around a historic structure, requires skill and precision. The team underwent a refresher training session specifically for this project, emphasizing safe and efficient equipment handling.

Protection Measures: Ground protection mats were strategically placed to distribute the weight of the boom lift, ensuring the driveway and lawn were shielded from potential damage.

Quality Assurance: While safety and care were paramount, the team didn’t compromise on the quality of work. They ensured the historic home was painted with precision, retaining its charm and heritage.

Outcome:

The historic house in Norwood, NJ, stood rejuvenated, reflecting its original glory. The lawn and driveway remained pristine, bearing no traces of the heavy machinery. The entire project was a harmonious blend of modern equipment and traditional care.
