Paint Power completed full commercial painting services for the Sherwin‑Williams retail location in Astoria, delivering brand‑accurate finishes and durable coatings across interior and exterior surfaces. The project required precise color matching, careful masking of signage and fixtures, and staged execution to keep the store open to customers during work.

Scope of work: • Pre‑work survey and color verification: confirm Sherwin‑Williams color standards and surface conditions.
• Surface preparation: pressure washing and loose paint removal on exterior, scraping, sanding, caulking, repair of minor wood and masonry defects, and spot drywall repairs inside.
• Priming: use of appropriate primers for porous masonry, metal railings, wood trim, and interior drywall to ensure adhesion and longevity.
• Topcoats: application of Sherwin‑Williams premium exterior and interior topcoats selected for UV resistance, washability, and color retention.
• Brand color fidelity: precision mixing and sample panels to ensure exact brand color matches for storefront, trim, and interior accent walls.
• Fixture & signage protection: careful masking and temporary protection of signage, light fixtures, displays, and storefront glazing during painting operations.
• Metalwork & trim: rust treatment and repainting of metal railings, door frames, and signage mounts with corrosion‑resistant primers and topcoats.
• High‑access work: safe use of scaffolding and boom lifts to reach elevated facades and soffits; compliance with local safety standards.
• Final cleaning & touch‑ups: removal of protection, hardware reinstallation, and client walkthrough to confirm finish quality.

Materials & methods: • Sherwin‑Williams primer and finish systems specified according to substrate and exposure (masonry primers, bonding primers, and high‑performance acrylic/urethane topcoats).
• Low‑VOC options used for interior areas to minimize odor and support tenant occupancy.
• Professional masking, back‑rolling, and inspection between coats to ensure even coverage and color uniformity.

Benefits & outcomes: • Brand‑accurate, long‑lasting finishes that strengthen retail presence and curb appeal.
• Minimal disruption to store operations through staged work and protective measures.
• Improved protection of building envelope and metalwork against weather and corrosion.
• Clear documentation of finishes and maintenance recommendations for future touch‑ups.
