Refreshing Chick Fil A's Outdoor Seating
A Case Study by CertaPro Painters® of St Petersburg and North Bradenton, FL
Efficient Revamp of Outdoor Seating
When you step into the vibrant atmosphere of Chick Fil A at St. Pete Beach, you’re not just walking into any fast-food restaurant; you’re experiencing a place where every detail matters, from the delicious meals to the inviting outdoor seating area. In January 2024, CertaPro Painters of St. Petersburg had the unique opportunity to enhance this beloved space. Over a span of just five days, our team expertly revitalized the metal railings, tables, and chairs, ensuring everything looked pristine and welcoming, without interrupting the bustling day-to-day activities of the restaurant. This case study explores how we tackled the challenges of working in a live environment and the coastal elements to deliver a result that is as durable as it is beautiful.
About the Project:
- Location: St. Pete Beach, FL
- Project Timeline: January 25-30, 2024
- Duration: 5 days
Project Description: CertaPro Painters of St. Petersburg was tasked with rejuvenating the metal railings, tables, and chairs at a bustling Chick Fil A location. The project not only required painting but also intensive cleaning and preparation due to environmental factors.
Challenges and Solutions: Operating in a busy restaurant environment, especially one as frequented as Chick Fil A at St. Pete Beach, posed unique challenges. The team had to perform their tasks without disrupting the daily operations. This involved strategic scheduling and continuous coordination with the restaurant staff to minimize impact on customers and operations. Additionally, the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico introduced significant sulfur deposits on the metal surfaces, which required specialized cleaning techniques to ensure durability and adhesion of the new paintwork.
Special Techniques and Equipment: The corrosive effects of sulfur necessitated the use of a special cleaning solution, meticulously applied by hand to all metal surfaces to prepare them for priming and painting. This prep work was critical to ensuring that the finish would be both aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting, capable of withstanding the harsh seaside environment.
Results: The project was completed within the tight five-day window, transforming the outdoor seating area with freshly painted railings, tables, and chairs that not only enhanced the visual appeal but also provided a durable solution that would endure the coastal conditions. The seamless execution of the project demonstrated CertaPro Painters of St. Petersburg’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, ensuring minimal disruption to Chick Fil A’s operations.
Conclusion: This case study exemplifies CertaPro Painters of St. Petersburg’s ability to handle complex commercial painting projects with precision and care, ensuring that every detail is managed effectively to meet client expectations and environmental demands.
