Gradient Smoke Stack
This was a highly technical and collaborative project involving engineers, inspectors, safety consultants, environmental consultants, and a board of owner representatives.
Hospitals, schools, malls and strata complexes keep running while we paint. Here is how we handle the hard parts, with the projects that show it.
Lead paint abatement
We follow the legal requirements for lead paint abatement before recoating, including on hospital handrails, a post-secondary building and a strata restoration.
Crews are always harnessed in boom lifts, with scaffolding and lift access for tall elevations, and a custom track system that let our man lift reach a high overhead ceiling.
Work across active hospital areas with minimal impact on patients, after-hours and overnight shifts in offices, hand-applied coatings while a mall stayed open, and controlled access zones around public work areas.

Almost every day, a resident will tell me what a great job the painters did and how fortunate we were to hire A. Craig and Son to paint our apartment buildings. It was very evident that you and your crew take a great deal of pride in your workmanship.

The job site was kept as clean as possible with a total clean up at the end of the job. Shaun was always accessible and any issues were quickly dealt with. I have no hesitation in recommending A. Craig & Son for any paint work and would not hesitate to use them again.

They left the property spotless at the end of each day. Their speed, quality and neatness of their workmanship is impressive. Alan and Bob kept us in the loop on progress throughout the project.
