We’ve got our first big snow approaching and everyone is getting ready to face it — ice scraper, blanket in your car, flashlight, and a calm demeanor if you’re going to be facing the snow tomorrow. Be safe everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving every one!

Thursday, November 7th: Good afternoon!
The crew is moving along and prepping and painting on the 3rd floor today. As our crew has spent a multitude of hours at your Building and painting in your hallways, all of the nooks and crannies and imperfections of the walls have become like 2nd nature. There is one particular crack that shows through on most of the floors as a result of the structure of the building and the way it has changed over the years. The SCUFF-X product and sheen we’re applying is aiding in masking and hiding these imperfections on the hallway walls.
The infamous crack, analogous to a pesky fly that just won’t go away.

And somehow we’ve gotten rid of the flies!
Wednesday, November 6th: Greetings!
We are off and running on the 2nd floor of the “B” tower. We’ll be completing about a floor/day and after we complete the 2nd floor we’ll move up to the 3rd and so on.
The crew is applying a Benjamin Moore Product called SCUFF-X. This product is a single component and Low-VOC paint which resists scuffing and is built for high traffic areas – whether it be a school setting, office and conference rooms, gyms and locker rooms, or in your case – hallways and lobbies.
Scuff-X combats scuffing from the start with its smooth and thorough coverage which results in lower maintenance costs over time.
Stay tuned here for further updates as there is potential to bring in a 2nd crew. We will keep you apprised of scheduling of the floors and if anything should change. Thanks!
Brushing and rolling our way down the 2nd floor hallway.
Crisp cut lines along the top.
We are also combatting your stubborn hinges on the electrical boxes to access the HVAC vents. We’re lubricating to allow more ‘easy’ movements to decrease any pressure put on the surrounding wall area.
Lubrication the hinges to decrease pressure put on the wall when previously tugging them open.
Tuesday, November 4th: Good afternoon!
We Are Back!
The crew will be getting started in the “B” Building on Wednesday, 11/5 and painting your hallway walls. We’ll soon post further details regarding which floor we’ll be starting on, projected completion times for each floor and the progression of floors we’ll take. Thanks!
