Commercial Case Study – Fairfield School District High School Gym

CertaPro Painters of York revitalized Fairfield School District’s high school gym, covering 11,600 sq ft of CMU block walls, 9,996 sq ft of corrugated metal ceiling, and 13 trusses. The gym’s outdated look, with rusted, dull cream ceilings and peeling dark green walls, was transformed by painting the ceiling and trusses gray, refreshing the walls with bright white, and adding a precise 3-tone stripe in school colors. Extensive cleaning, priming, and taping ensured a high-quality finish. The result was a brighter, more cohesive gym that matched the Fairfield Knights logo, showcasing CertaPro’s expertise in large-scale, detail-oriented projects.

About the Project:

Project Involvement: 

CertaPro Painters of York transformed Fairfield School District’s high school gym by cleaning the ceilings and walls to remove dirt and debris, priming rusted areas, and spraying the metal ceiling and trusses with Sherwin-Williams Dryfall. They filled holes in the walls, repainted them bright white, and added a precise 3-tone stripe in the school’s colors. Various doors and trims were also painted, resulting in a refreshed and cohesive gymnasium that aligns with the Fairfield Knights branding.

Special Challenges: 

Two 32′ scissor lifts were required for the project. To protect the floor, we used Trimaco FloorShell for full coverage and placed large plywood boards to distribute the lifts’ weight, preventing any damage. Extensive covering was necessary for ceiling items (vents, lights, ducts, lines, speakers, basketball nets, hanging floor mats and netting) and block walls (bleacher sets, doors, scoreboards, fire apparatus) using plastic.

Project Timeline:

Overall we finished the project within 8 days.
