Curb Appeal Revived: Retail Building Exterior Cleaning & Repair
A Commercial Case Study by CertaPro Painters of Pittsburgh - South Hills
High-Traffic, Low-Disruption: Building Repaint in 4 Days for Eyeglass World in Pittsburgh, PA
In April 2025, a four-day exterior renovation project was completed on a large, freestanding retail building in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Situated along a high-traffic road in a bustling commercial hub, the property serves as a major retail location, making careful planning and execution essential to avoid disrupting business operations.
Our team at CertaPro Painters® of Pittsburgh - South Hills, PA began with a thorough assessment to identify all areas in need of repair and deep cleaning. We then carefully color-matched the existing paint to restore the building’s exterior to its original bright, professional appearance.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:
At the outset, the building’s exterior was in poor condition, heavily soiled by pollution, mold, and general grime. Additionally, several areas of the EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) were damaged or missing, further impacting the appearance and performance of the building envelope.
The project began with surface cleaning and patching, followed by a full repaint using colors carefully matched to the existing scheme.
SPECIAL TECHNIQUES:
Despite being conducted during normal store hours, the project ran smoothly thanks to strategic pre-planning. Our production manager coordinated directly with the store’s General Manager ahead of time to stage work zones and minimize operational impact. During the work, the crew implemented extensive safety measures—including cones, caution tape, and signage—to ensure the safety of customers, employees, and workers.
The end result was a clean, repaired, and refreshed building exterior that now better reflects the quality and professionalism of the brand it represents—all achieved with minimal business interruption.
TIMELINE:
This project was completed in four days.
