Refreshing an Active Professional Space

CertaPro Painters® of North York completed an interior repaint for a commercial facility located in the Downsview Park area of North York, Toronto.The space is used for active operational and professional purposes, requiring the work to be completed while daily operations continued.

The objective of the project was to refresh the interior, improve durability in high-traffic areas, and restore a clean, professional appearance – all while minimizing disruption to occupants and ongoing business activities.

The completed interior repaint delivered a clean, modernized environment that significantly improved the overall look and functionality of the space. The refreshed walls now provide a consistent, durable finish suited for ongoing commercial use, while the coordinated scheduling and execution ensured operations continued smoothly throughout the project.

The result is a professional interior that meets current standards and supports the facility’s daily activities.

Project Overview

INITIAL CONDITION:

Before work began, the interior walls showed clear signs of long-term use, including scuff marks, discoloration, fading, and uneven colour coverage. The space had not been repainted in approximately 15 years, resulting in a tired and dated appearance that no longer met modern commercial standards. A full professional repaint was needed to restore consistency, cleanliness, and visual appeal throughout the facility.

CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS:

One of the primary challenges of this project was working within an active commercial environment. Careful planning, sequencing, and surface protection were essential to maintaining a safe and professional workspace at all times.

To minimize disruption, the project was completed using a combination of weekend and daytime work. Weekend painting was performed in two extended shifts running from 8:00 AM to 4:00 AM, while week day work was coordinated closely with on-site operations to reduce impact on daily activities. This flexible scheduling approach allowed the project to progress efficiently without interfering with business continuity.

MATERIALS & EXECUTION:

To ensure long-lasting performance in a high-traffic setting, Sherwin-Williams Scuff-Tuff commercial-grade interior paint was selected for its durability and cleanability. Proper surface preparation and careful application resulted in a uniform, refreshed finish designed to withstand daily wear while maintaining a professional appearance with this color scheme:
