University Palms
University Apartment Building Commercial Painters
University Palms is a three-building apartment complex with a clubhouse and pool area located near Arizona State University. University Palms was faced with the need to upgrade the aesthetics and color selection to compete with other apartment complexes marketing to college students and young professionals. They ultimately chose the commercial painting experts at CertaPro Painters of Scottsdale.
Commercial Prep and Painting Process
Conditions:
The apartment complex was transformed from a mixture of faded earth tones and reds to a bright, vibrant combination of white, beige, and black. The deep red color was repainted black. The color transformation was amazing and the complex now stands out from the competition.
Challenges:
One challenge with this project was the height of the apartment complex and the numerous color changes within the building. Another challenge was painting around all the cars parked at the facility. With many residents occupying the apartments, communication and scheduling were very important.
Project Involvement:
This project involved stucco repair, light drywall repair, and painting. It included full power wash and patchwork that was spot primed. The entire facility was painted in a full two coat process because of the drastic color change. The client chose colors to reflect current trends. The entire duration of the project was 1 month.
Special Challenges:
This project required a 65ft boom lift and multiple large ladders to reach all units. The crew needed to maneuver around resident parking in carports and parking spaces near the building.
