Why Martin-Brower Needed Interior Office Painting
Over time, office interiors can begin to look tired, stained, or outdated. The walls at Martin-Brower’s Portland facility had accumulated wear in high-traffic areas, giving the space a dull and inconsistent look. To restore professionalism and reflect the company’s high operational standards, a fresh coat of paint was the simplest and most effective solution.
Instead of a full renovation, Martin-Brower opted for a targeted interior office painting service that provided immediate impact with zero downtime. The result was a bright, clean, and cohesive space that improved both aesthetics and employee experience.
Challenges & Solutions: Fast, Clean, Professional Interior Painting
⚠️ Prepping Over Wallpaper Without Removal
One of the unique challenges on this project was that some walls were covered with wallpaper the client preferred not to remove. Removing the wallpaper would have significantly increased project costs and extended the timeline. Instead, our crew applied an oil-based primer directly over the wallpaper to seal the surface and block moisture from reacting with the wallpaper adhesive. This approach ensured a stable base for the finish coat and a long-lasting result.
⏱️ Minimal Downtime for a Busy Facility
As an active logistics and distribution hub, time was of the essence. The job was completed efficiently over 3 days with a 2-person crew, carefully scheduled to avoid interfering with Martin-Brower’s daily operations.
✨ Clean Worksite in an Operational Office
Maintaining a clean and odor-free work environment was a top priority. We used low-VOC Sherwin-Williams paint to ensure air quality remained safe and comfortable during and after application. Office furniture and flooring were fully protected, and all work areas were left spotless and ready for use.
Paint Products Used for the Office Painting Project
-
Sherwin-Williams White Snow (SW9541): A clean, modern white that enhances natural light and promotes focus in professional spaces.
-
Low-VOC Formula: Chosen for health-conscious work environments, especially those that remain operational during upgrades.
