Commercial Exterior Revitalization
A Case Study By CertaPro Painters® of Rockford, IL
Commercial Exterior Revitalization
When our client in Hartland, WI, approached CertaPro Painters of Rockford, IL they were looking for more than just a simple facelift for their business exterior. They presented us with a distinct challenge: to not only refresh and enhance the façade of their commercial property but to do so in a manner that would truly make it a standout feature in the local landscape. This task required a thoughtful approach, combining the art of color selection, the precision of expert painting techniques, and the strategic use of innovative tools and materials.
Understanding the importance of a business’s exterior in attracting and retaining customers, our team was committed to transforming the property into a visually appealing and inviting space. The project aimed not just to reflect the business’s brand and values but also to breathe new life into the building, ensuring it would catch the eye of passersby and leave a lasting impression.

When did the project take place?: 2023
How long did the project take, start to finish?: The dynamic team at CertaPro Painters of Milwaukee, WI, adeptly completed this transformative exterior painting project within an impressive 1-2 week timeframe.
Description of Project: This project was an exterior painting endeavor that breathed new life into a residential property in Hartland, WI. Our goal was to not only refresh the business’s appearance but also to address and solve underlying material challenges, specifically with the aluminum siding.
Project Scope:
Exterior Painting and Caulking: The focus was on elevating the business’s aesthetic appeal while ensuring long-lasting durability against the elements. This included a detailed process of painting and caulking to protect the building and enhance its visual charm.
Unique Green Accent Stripes: Adding to the complexity and distinctiveness of the project, special attention was given to the creation of green accent stripes, which required precision and a keen eye for detail to achieve the desired outcome.
Specialty Priming of Aluminum Siding: To combat the chalkiness of the aluminum siding, our team implemented a specialty priming technique. This step was crucial in preparing the surface for painting, ensuring that the finish would be both beautiful and enduring.
Special Challenges: The project presented unique challenges, including the need for specialty priming to address the chalkiness of the aluminum siding. The incorporation of green accent stripes added another layer of complexity, demanding meticulous attention to detail to achieve the envisioned aesthetic.
Special Equipment and Techniques: To efficiently tackle the project’s demands, our team utilized advanced equipment and techniques, including:
Boom Lifts and Scissor Lifts: These were essential for safely reaching and painting the higher sections of the building, ensuring thorough coverage and a uniform finish.
Water Trailer: This equipment played a key role in preparing the surface for painting, ensuring the siding was optimally primed and ready for the application of paint.
