Project Log

We are proud to announce the successful completion of a major subcontracting painting project with a Fortune 500 company at a large manufacturing facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This project encompassed both production and office spaces spanning a just over 55,000 square feet. Careful planning, consistent quality, and close coordination across multiple teams on site was required.

Comprehensive Interior Painting for Production & Office Environments

Chiefly, this facility demanded finishes that balance durability, safety, and professional appearance. This was especially critical in areas experiencing constant foot traffic and operational activity. Our scope of work included:

• Priming and painting of interior drywall throughout office and support areas
• Ceiling painting across production zones and administrative spaces
• Doors and frames, finished for long-term performance and clean presentation
• Steel columns, coated to protect structural elements while maintaining a polished, uniform look
• Three four-story stairwells, requiring elevated safety planning and consistent finish application from top to bottom
• Accent walls, designed to enhance visual flow within the facility
• Custom detailed line striping installed throughout high-traffic areas for aesthetic definition and brand awareness.

Each surface was properly prepared and coated using commercial-grade materials. These are designed to withstand the demands of an active manufacturing environment.

Precision Color Matching & Multi-Trade Coordination

Another critical component of this project was direct collaboration with the customer. D&D ensured all finishes aligned precisely with their established corporate color standards. From initial samples to final application, our team worked closely with stakeholders to deliver a consistent, brand-accurate result across both office and production spaces.

Equally important was our coordination with the general contractor to meet an aggressive project timeline. Daily communication and collaboration with other trades allowed work to progress efficiently while maintaining safety and quality standards throughout the facility.

Detailed Work in High-Traffic Manufacturing Areas

The custom line striping completed throughout the facility played a key role in elevating the finished space. These detailed layouts required precise measurements, clean lines, and careful sequencing to ensure visual consistency. This was done without interrupting ongoing construction activities.
