Student Housing Painting Case Study

About the Project:

• Location: State College, Pennsylvania
• Project Date: July – August 2024
• Duration: 6 days

Project Overview: The scope of the project involved painting the interior walls of the student housing building with a focus on durability and longevity. Given the high-traffic nature of student housing, the goal was to select a paint that could withstand the daily wear and tear while maintaining its appearance.

Challenges:

• Tight Deadline: The primary challenge was completing the project within a compressed time frame before the students returned for the fall semester.
• Existing Wear: The significant wear on the walls required a robust paint solution that would provide lasting protection and reduce the need for frequent maintenance.

Solution: To meet the client’s needs, we recommended Benjamin Moore’s Ultra Spec Scuff-X, known for its exceptional resistance to scuffs and wear. A test of the product was conducted to demonstrate its value to the property owner. Despite the higher cost, the owner recognized the long-term benefits and agreed to proceed with this premium paint.

Outcome: The project was completed on time, within the 6-day period specified by the client. The use of Ultra Spec Scuff-X provided a durable finish that is expected to significantly reduce future maintenance and repainting needs. The property owner was highly satisfied with the results, appreciating both the timely completion and the added value that the premium paint provided to the building.

Conclusion: This project highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality, durable solutions within tight deadlines. By selecting the right materials and demonstrating their benefits to our clients, CertaPro Painters of Western Chester County was able to successfully complete the project, ensuring long-term satisfaction and reduced maintenance costs for the property owner.
