Interior and Exterior Painting for Student Housing in Durham, NH

Putting the Fin­ish­ing Touch­es On New Con­struc­tion With a Tight Deadline

If you take a quick look at the project pho­tos above, you might think that we paint­ed a small town. Bikes are parked in racks near a bench on the side­walk, the streets are lined with cars, and the build­ings look like a fresh­ly-con­struct­ed main drag, soon to be bustling with pedestrians.

In many ways this is all true.

This is, in fact, a new stu­dent hous­ing com­plex. There def­i­nite­ly will be pedes­tri­ans bustling down these streets, only they will be of the back­pack wear­ing, cof­fee-guz­zling, rush­ing-off-to-class variety.

So, how did we come to be involved with this mas­sive inte­ri­or and exte­ri­or paint­ing project? Well, it start­ed with a problem.

Step­ping in to Meet a Com­mer­cial Paint­ing Need

The con­struc­tion com­pa­ny that was over­see­ing the build­ing of these new stu­dent hous­ing facil­i­ties had already been work­ing with a paint­ing con­trac­tor, but that con­trac­tor was not able to meet the nec­es­sary deadlines.

The team here at Kaloutas was brought in and asked to accom­plish a very spe­cif­ic goal: get the paint­ing sched­ule back on track.

Deal­ing with a busy con­struc­tion envi­ron­ment and spe­cif­ic sched­ul­ing para­me­ters is some­thing that we are very famil­iar with. The con­struc­tion and paint­ing project may have already been rolling, but we were able to step on board with­out a wobble.

What Did This Com­mer­cial Paint­ing Project Require?

• Clear Com­mu­ni­ca­tion — This includ­ed week­ly man­pow­er reviews to ensure that we were on tar­get to meet our client’s needs, as well as con­stant com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the job supers to coor­di­nate the dif­fer­ent trades at work.
• Flex­i­ble, Addi­tion­al Hours — As we men­tioned, we need­ed to get the paint­ing back on sched­ule. Part of this effort involved work­ing both longer days and over the weekends.
• Inte­ri­or and Exte­ri­or Paint­ing — We also used lifts to access those hard-to-reach places around the out­side of the buildings.

Mis­sion Accomplished

The project was com­plet­ed on-time and in just the man­ner that the own­er request­ed. It was tru­ly a plea­sure to help, and to ensure that this home-away-from-home was ready for the incom­ing crowds of stu­dents. They cer­tain­ly have a beau­ti­ful facil­i­ty to enjoy!
