About the Project:

Introduction:
CertaPro Painters of Southwest Florida was contracted to complete a comprehensive exterior painting project for a medical facility in Port Charlotte, FL. With a strong focus on planning, communication, and safety, the project was completed in just eight days—on schedule and to the client’s exacting standards. Our team prioritized minimal disruption to the facility’s operations while enhancing the building’s appearance and longevity.

Project Overview:

• Site Assessment and Planning:
  Prior to the start date, our team conducted a thorough walkthrough with the production manager and the client to align on goals, scheduling, and key access points. We assessed the condition of walls, windows, doors, and other exterior elements.

• Permitting and Compliance:
  We secured all necessary painting permits to ensure full compliance with local regulations before work began.

• Surface Prep and Cleaning:
  The crew pressure washed the entire exterior to remove surface grime and mildew. Cracks and imperfections were repaired to create a smooth, clean foundation.

• Paint and Coating Application:
  A high-quality primer was applied, followed by a professionally selected color scheme that matched the medical center’s branding and maintained a clean, welcoming aesthetic.

• Safety and Accessibility:
  Our team used extension ladders and set up clear safety zones to protect workers, staff, and visitors throughout the project.

• Final Inspection and Client Walkthrough:
  A final inspection and detailed walkthrough were completed with the client to ensure touch-ups were made and expectations were met or exceeded.

Challenges:
The primary challenge was managing the logistics of painting a large surface area without disrupting daily operations at the busy medical center. Through clear communication and precise daily planning, we ensured all high-traffic areas—such as entrances and walkways—remained accessible and safe throughout the project.

Outcome:
Completed within the scheduled 8 days, the project delivered a renewed and professional exterior for the medical center. Daily communication, strong coordination, and attention to detail helped ensure the client’s satisfaction, resulting in a refreshed facility that aligns with the center’s brand and mission.
