Client Profile

Guillevin is a leading distributor of electrical products, safety equipment, and industrial supplies
across Canada. Their new warehouse, located in Burnaby, BC, required a professional interior
painting job to align with their brand and operational standards.

The Challenge:

Moving into a new warehouse is an exciting step for any company, but preparing the space for
business operations comes with unique challenges—especially in a large industrial setting. Guillevin
needed a fresh, clean, and professional look while ensuring all work was done safely and efficiently

• A Tough Surface: The warehouse walls were heavily soiled and required deep cleaning with
  industrial-strength chemicals. However, we had to be extremely careful due to the presence of
  electrical equipment.
• Adhesion Matters: To ensure long-term durability, all surfaces required proper priming.
  Concrete walls, in particular, needed the correct primer to guarantee optimal adhesion.
  Working at Heights: Given the warehouse’s vast size, our team had to use boomlifts and create a
  detailed safety plan to ensure the work was carried out securely.
• Structural Elements: The warehouse posts were in rough shape, covered in debris and rust. They
  had to be grinded down, cleaned, primed, and painted with a high-quality coating for a smooth,
  durable finish.
• Efficiency is Key: With such a large space, we needed a strong, well-coordinated crew to
  complete the project efficiently without cutting corners.

Our Solution:

Understanding the scale and complexity of this project, we took a strategic approach to ensure
efficiency, safety, and quality.

✔ Comprehensive Preparation: We carefully washed all walls using appropriate cleaning
solutions while following strict safety protocols to protect electrical components.
✔ High-Quality Priming & Painting: We selected the right primers and industrial-grade paints
to ensure strong adhesion to the concrete walls and structural elements.
✔ Precision & Safety: We implemented a detailed safety plan for using boomlifts and working
at heights, ensuring a secure environment for our team.
✔ Post Restoration: We thoroughly ground down, cleaned, primed, and repainted all
warehouse posts to restore their structural integrity and visual appeal.
✔ Brand Colors: We worked closely with Guillevin to incorporate their brand colors, creating a
workspace that not only looked clean and modern but also reinforced their corporate identity.
✔ Efficient Execution: Our large, well-c

The Results:

• A Fresh Start: The warehouse transformed from a rough, dirty space into a clean, professional,
  and branded environment.

  to last, even in an industrial setting.
• Safe & Efficient Workspace: The newly restored posts and freshly painted walls create a safer,
  brighter, and more inviting work environment for employees.

  professionalism and attention to detail.
