York Suburban Elementary Cafeteria Repaint
a Case Study by CertaPro Painters® of York, PA
Restoring and Refreshing a Well-Loved Cafeteria
In July 2025, the York Suburban Elementary cafeteria in York, PA, underwent a fast-paced, two-day makeover to restore and brighten the space.
Our team addressed peeling paint, rust spots, and worn walls, ensuring the area was both refreshed in appearance and better protected for daily use.
About the Project:
Scope of Project:
The project involved scraping away all loose, peeling paint, priming rust-affected areas, and repainting both the walls and ceilings. Every step was completed with care to ensure a durable, even finish.
Special Challenges and Solutions:
Working in a fully furnished cafeteria required extensive protection of floors and furniture to prevent overspray. A scissor lift was essential for reaching high areas safely and efficiently, allowing the team to work quickly without compromising quality.
