Post-Secondary Restoration

Before painting: heavily peeling white paint on the metal panels of a post-secondary building

After painting: restored post-secondary building with smooth, even light grey panels

A post-secondary building required significant restoration due to widespread coating failure and the presence of lead-based paint. The work was carried out in an active, year-round teaching environment, requiring careful planning to minimize disruption to staff and students. After safe preparation and remediation of existing coatings, the building was repainted with durable finishes designed for high-traffic, high-impact conditions. The result was a refreshed, resilient exterior capable of withstanding heavy daily use while improving the overall appearance of the facility.

Secondary School Exterior

This project involved taking over a school repaint contract after the low bidder was unable to meet the requirement for qualified painters. The school board brought us in on a very tight timeline to ensure the work could be completed properly and safely. We prioritized high-traffic student areas and entrances first, completing them before the school year began. The remaining work was then carried out in September with careful scheduling to minimize disruption to students and staff. The project was delivered on time and to specification.

Elementary School Repaint

For over 40 years, we have completed school painting projects every summer, having worked on more than 300 schools to date. This project stood out due to its unique design elements, particularly the decorative pencil features incorporated into the building.

Aeronautics Facility Interior

Over a three-year period, we completed a full refresh of a large aeronautics facility, working across hallways, offices, labs, training rooms, classrooms, recreation areas, cafeteria, and library spaces. In addition to painting, the scope included the supply and installation of custom stainless steel corner guards in high-traffic areas, as well as Acrovyn wall protection in locations subject to regular impact damage. The result was a durable, clean, and well-protected interior throughout the facility.
