Project Description
H&H Painting Co. recently completed an office building painting project for a new FEMA facility, a hydraulic systems manufacturer. This project required precision, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to quality. Despite unexpected challenges, our team delivered a flawless finish that met the highest standards.
Background/Story:
In May 2024, an EF2 tornado tore through Kalamazoo, leaving 30,000 families without power—including the FEMA construction site. The outage delayed the project multiple times, forcing our team to adapt to new schedules and work without permanent lighting. Instead, we relied on portable lights and generators to maintain progress. Once power was restored, we conducted a meticulous walkthrough to ensure every surface met our rigorous quality standards.
One of the key challenges of this project was sequencing the second coating of the drywall walls. Typically, we don’t apply the second coat until all other installations—such as cabinets, flooring, lighting, and ceiling tiles—are complete. This approach ensures we can fix any drywall imperfections and leave a flawless finish as the last trade on-site.
Scope of Services
- Painting of all drywall walls and ceilings
- Painting of exposed ceilings, doors, and frames
- Coating all stair steel
- Installing vinyl wallcovering in the front lobby
Paints/Products Used:
- High-quality interior drywall paint
- Durable coatings for stair steel
- Commercial-grade paint for exposed ceilings, doors, and frames
- Premium vinyl wallcovering for the lobby
Results:
Through adaptability and skill, H&H Painting Co. overcame the absence of permanent lighting and coordinated with other trades to ensure the project stayed on track. The result was a clean, even, and professional finish that exceeded FEMA’s expectations and showcased our ability to deliver exceptional office building painting under challenging circumstances.
