Managing the complexity of the coating requirements for your various brands can be quite challenging.
From hotels to theme parks to high end restaurants, we have the experience required to make the job run
smoothly. For new openings, you need a partner that understands construction scheduling and can support
your internal Project Managers as they work with Architects, Designers, General Contractors and Painters.
Refurbs require strong coordination with your GCs and Painting Contractors, as delays in the return to
service affect revenue. With maintenance painting, you need products that don’t disrupt your operations
and keep your employees and customers happy. Re-Image projects require a partner who can assist from
design through implementation of the brand standards at all locations. In short, you need a partner who
understands this industry.
