Retail Center Repaint Case Study
by CertaPro Painters of South Arlington TX
Case Study: Exterior Painting and Stucco Repair for Retail Center in Mansfield
CertaPro Painters of South Arlington, Texas, was contracted to power wash, repair, and repaint a bustling retail center in Mansfield. With multiple businesses occupying the building and heavy daytime traffic, the project required extensive planning, daily communication, and flexible scheduling to ensure safety and minimize disruptions. Through effective coordination and the use of specialized equipment, we completed the project in 10 days—delivering a refreshed and professional exterior for every tenant.

Project Overview:
Power Washing & Surface Prep:
Our crew began with a deep cleaning of all exterior surfaces, followed by heavy scraping and sanding to remove loose paint and prep the stucco for repair and painting.Stucco Repairs:
Damaged and weathered stucco was repaired to restore the building’s structure and ensure an even finish.Exterior Painting:
A fresh coat of high-quality exterior paint was applied to all surfaces, dramatically improving the curb appeal and cohesion of the retail strip.
Challenges:
Foot & Vehicle Traffic: Work was strategically scheduled during off-hours and low-traffic periods to minimize disruptions and ensure safety.
Coordination with Tenants: Our team conducted daily check-ins with store managers and provided advanced notice of lift positioning and access changes. In some cases, we rerouted vehicles in the parking lot to avoid overspray and maintain pedestrian safety.
Special Equipment Used:
60-foot Articulating Boom Lift
Scissor Lift
These were essential for reaching higher sections of the building while maintaining a safe and efficient workflow.
Outcome:
Despite the challenges of working in an active retail environment, the project was completed on time and without incident. The building’s new look has been praised by tenants and customers alike, and store managers appreciated the consistent communication and professionalism throughout the job.
