Real Estate Apartment Painting Case Study
in Woodbridge, VA
Real Estate Apartment Interior Painting Project
CertaPro Painters® of Reston had an exciting opportunity to undertake an interior project for a Real Estate building located in Woodbridge, VA. The client’s objective was to give the hallways within the real estate building a fresh, updated look to enhance the overall ambiance. Completing the interior revamp required a total of 4 months. Painting interiors in apartment complexes poses a significant challenge as it involves working around regular foot traffic and minimizing disturbances for the residents.
Nevertheless, our diligent professionals successfully tackled these obstacles, enabling us to complete the project within the designated timeframe. The owner expressed great satisfaction with our meticulous, precise, and efficient approach, and was delighted that the project was finished promptly. We aim to foster a long-lasting, professional relationship with our clients and look forward to future collaborations.
CHALLENGES:
CHALLENGES:Large commercial projects provide their own set of challenges. For this project, our CertaPro Painters coordinated with both the Property Management team and residents, in order to not disrupt their daily activities while working with repainting the complex. Additionally, we completed Level-3 Preparation to the surfaces that were to be painted including patching holes, repairing cracks, and repairing surface damage as well as drywall finishing work to textured walls as applicable for a uniform and professional look. This project required extensive attention to detail since the customer wanted all surfaces to be sprayed and not rolled.
CONDITIONS:
- Wall Prep – Walls need to be prepped for a complete, professional finish.
- Wall Repair – Cracks, surface damage, and holes.
- Yellow Paint – The walls and trim were a dull, unpleasant yellow color and we brought them back to life by painting them a shade of bright white.
PROJECT INVOLVEMENT:
- Wall Repair – We had to correct defects on the walls, which included cracks, surface damage, and holes.
- Interior Paint – We had to prime the area for coats of the appropriate paint colors.
- Prep – Repair, maintenance, and adding primer for paint
- Drywall Finish – Applied a drywall finish to the textured walls to get it a uniform, clean look.
PROJECT TIMELINE – 4 Months
