Project Description

A tired elementary school and an unfinished gymnasium shell do not inspire much confidence in students or staff. H&H Painting Co. took on both. This school gymnasium painting in Holland, MI project started with restoring worn classroom walls, doors, and ceilings inside Sheldon Woods Elementary, then carried through to finishing a brand new gymnasium addition once construction had fully enclosed the building. A school district cannot afford a painting partner who misses a color match or falls behind schedule, so every step had to meet that standard.

H&H Painting Co. waited until the new masonry had fully dried before block-filling every CMU wall, then applied two coats of Sherwin-Williams Pre-Cat Epoxy built for high-traffic school hallways and gyms. Tectum panels turned blue, and every new door and frame turned black, matching the school district’s color standards. The renovation phase wrapped in 2024, and the gymnasium addition finished in 2025, both delivered on schedule, extending H&H Painting Co.‘s existing work inside West Ottawa Public Schools into a brand-new building.

Paints & Products Used

For the new gymnasium’s CMU walls, H&H Painting Co. applied two coats of Sherwin-Williams Pre-Cat Epoxy, a pre-catalyzed, water-based epoxy built to handle daily foot traffic, moisture, and hard use in a school environment. The crew waited until the new masonry surfaces were fully dry before starting, since epoxy needs a moisture-free substrate to bond and cure correctly. The crew finished the Tectum wall panels in blue and the new doors and frames in black, both matching Sheldon Woods Elementary’s district color standards.

Every coating choice on this school gymnasium painting project was picked to survive a K-12 schedule: heavy daily use, hard cleaning, and years between repaints.

Why Choose H&H Painting Co.

A K-12 renovation and a ground-up gymnasium finish both carry real risk: the wrong products fail early, and a missed deadline interrupts a school year.

  • A team with a track record in West Ottawa Public Schools. H&H Painting Co. had already completed interior renovation work in the district before starting the Sheldon Woods Elementary gymnasium, so the crew understood the school’s schedule and standards.
  • Self-performed work, not subcontracted. H&H Painting Co. handles its school painting and finishing work with its own crew, keeping quality and scheduling in-house.
  • Decades of commercial painting experience. H&H Painting Co. has been in the trade since 1932, bringing 560 years of combined team experience to school and commercial projects alike.
  • Licensed, insured, and OSHA-certified. Every painter on the crew is OSHA-certified, and the company carries a 1-year workmanship warranty on completed work.
