Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of York is a rehabilitation center committed to helping persons regain independence after a life-changing illness or injury. They are a leading provider of inpatient rehabilitation for stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s disease and other complex neurological and orthopedic conditions.

Problem To Be Solved:
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of York approached CertaPro Painters in December 2020 to request an extensive repaint of the exterior of their building as part of a large renovation project in 2021. The project involved painting all unpainted masonry substrates (ie., CMU & decorative block, brick, and stucco), metal man doors and trim, and caulking windows in order to enhance curb appeal and add longevity to the exterior of the building.

The customer’s Corporate Office had decided to change colors and we were able to assist the facility by providing them with larger 8” x 11” custom color chip samples from Sherwin Williams’ Corp Office which helped Encompass staff visualize the color choice.

Problem Solver Solution:
The project began in late summer 2021 with a four-man crew. Due to the upper-level windows being encased in stucco, the project required a 60-foot lift for the front side of the building. However, most of the work was done either on foot or from ladders. In all, over 15,000 square feet of masonry surfaces were pressure washed, primed, and painted along with all the man doors around the entire perimeter of the facility.

Final Result:
The project was completed in 3 weeks. The facility and staff were thrilled with the transformation and the workmanship of the painting crew. Additionally, we were told we will be referred to bid on a large interior renovation project in the future.
