Retail Office Restoration Project

Project Overview

Our project focused on a retail office space that had recently been vacated. The previous tenants had removed wallpaper, leaving behind significant damage to the walls. Additionally, the office featured dry erase walls that were heavily stained and in desperate need of refurbishment. The challenge was not only to repair the damage but also to ensure that the space was returned to a pristine condition, ready for new occupants.

Initial Conditions

Upon beginning the project, our team assessed the condition of the office. The walls where wallpaper was removed were marked by glue residues and small tears in the drywall. The dry erase surfaces, intended to be reusable and clean, were marred by permanent marks that resisted conventional cleaning methods.

Execution of the Project

The first step in tackling this project was to repair the damaged drywall. This involved filling holes, smoothing out the surfaces, and ensuring that each area was flawless before any paint touched the walls. After the repairs, we allowed a full day for the drywall to dry and cure, ensuring the longevity and durability of our work.

Next, we addressed the dry erase walls. To restore them to their original functionality, our team meticulously sanded down the surfaces to remove the old, stained finish. This process was crucial to prepare the walls for a new primer, which would provide a fresh base for the new coatings.

Once the surfaces were prepared and primed, we applied two coats of high-quality paint. Choosing the right type of paint was essential, particularly for the dry erase walls, to ensure that they would not only look good but also be fully functional for future use.

Final Results

After three intensive days of work, the transformation was remarkable. The once damaged and stained walls were now smooth, vibrant, and as good as new. Our team’s efficient and effective approach allowed us to turn around the project quickly, minimizing downtime for the building and ensuring it was ready for immediate occupancy.
