PaintWerks completed a full commercial exterior paint job on a 280,000 square foot, 3-story building just south of Franklin Park Conservatory off Livingston Road in Columbus, Ohio. The scope included exterior trim installation, full caulking, and painting the entire building exterior using Sherwin-Williams Emerald. All work was completed from boom lifts in one week, mid-December 2019.
Scope of Work
- Installed exterior trim on the full building perimeter to complete the facade details before caulking and painting.
- Caulked all seams, joints, and transitions across the building exterior to seal the envelope and create clean paint lines.
- Painted the full 280,000 square foot exterior using Sherwin-Williams Emerald for premium coverage, adhesion, and long-term UV and moisture protection on a large commercial surface.
- Worked from boom lifts to access all three stories, including upper-level walls, fascia, and trim details that required aerial positioning for safe, complete coverage.
- Completed the entire project in one week to beat the weather window before Christmas 2019.
Project Notes
- A 280,000 square foot exterior in mid-December required aggressive daily production targets and careful weather monitoring. The crew maintained pace through the full week to complete the scope before conditions turned.
- Boom lifts were positioned and repositioned throughout each day to maintain continuous access across all three elevations. Efficient lift staging was critical to hitting the one-week timeline on a building this size.
- Sherwin-Williams Emerald was specified for its self-priming formula, moisture resistance, and ability to perform under the tight application windows available in December weather.
- The building is located in a visible corridor near Franklin Park Conservatory, so finish quality and clean lines were essential for a high-traffic commercial property.
Results
PaintWerks delivered a complete exterior paint finish on one of the largest single-building projects in the company’s portfolio. All 280,000 square feet of exterior surface were trimmed, caulked, and coated with Sherwin-Williams Emerald in a single one-week mobilization. The building exterior went from worn and inconsistent to a clean, uniform finish across all three stories. This project demonstrates PaintWerks’ capacity for large-scale commercial painting with tight deadlines and aerial access requirements.
