Difficult access painting in the Chicago area

At Painters Inc., we know our customers expect quality outcomes that are on time and on budget. Even when areas that need to be painted are difficult to access, we hold ourselves to the same standards of excellence, which is why we utilize specific tools and techniques to handle these hard-to-reach areas, including but not limited to high-rise buildings.

Just because a property is at height doesn’t mean the painting services have to lack in quality. When we encounter interior and exterior areas that fall under the “difficult access” definition, our crew of skilled professionals, educated in safety and using special equipment, can make quick work of even the most difficult areas.

From completely new color schemes to touching up some problem areas, our team is ready to deliver custom and difficult access services.

All of our employees are full time, which means they are dedicated to following our various certification requirements, such as confined space certification guidelines. They are also certified to operate aerial lifts and swing stages and know how to develop a safety plan for all of our projects, even the most complex ones involving tight spaces. Finally, all applicants to Painters Inc. are subjected to a background check.

Painting equipment we use for difficult access painting job

“Using the right tools for the job” is an adage that can’t be overstated when it comes to difficult access painting projects. At Painters Inc., our commitment to investing in these tools is what allows us to tackle some of the more demanding jobs, such as high-rise exterior projects.

There are actually several different types of equipment that allow us access to areas that other painting contractors can’t reach. Rather than use old and outdated equipment that adds more hours to the job, we bring in safe and easy-to-use devices that don’t take hours and hours to set up. The following is a look at some of our key equipment.

Rope access painting

It might seem archaic, but rope access painting is one of the most effective means of reaching difficult areas, including those where obstacles get in the way of scaffolding or lifts. Our crew is extensively trained on rope painting techniques and frequently utilizes it for challenging jobs.

Swing stages

Also called swing stage scaffolding, these are platforms supported by ropes and cables from above, allowing painters to move up and down on the exterior of a building, making all of the “hard-to-reach” spaces a breeze to access and paint.

Aerial lift (aka boom lift, cherry pickers)

Boom lifts are common equipment on construction sites, giving workers a quick and easy way to get from the ground to their elevated work surface in very little time. At Painters Inc., our aerial lifts are part of the overall approach to bringing value to every project we tackle.

Extension ladders

This basic but effective tool continues to be of great assistance in giving painters access to nooks and crannies that can’t be accessed by a lift. Ladders also require a fair amount of safety training, which is another area that our crew is well educated about.

Our condominium complex has recently used Painters Inc. exclusively and obviously are more than satisfied with their work. We had exterior painting done on 136 units and received no complaints from owners. That says it all. Highly recommend this company.

Commercial interior and exterior painting projects that need high reach equipment

From residential buildings to hotels, high-rise offices to churches, after years of neglect, these hard-to-reach areas can start to look worse for the wear. If your structure is in need of some attention, Painters Inc. has the expertise to handle your most out-of-reach areas.

If it’s been a decade since your structure was last painted, it’s highly likely that it needs work right now. And just because these areas are difficult to reach doesn’t mean people can’t see them. Damaging winds and debris and exposure to brutal summer sun will alter the appearance of your surfaces, but a paint job can bring these weathered areas back to life.

We provide hard-to-reach commercial painting services for:

High-rise buildings

Swing stages and ropes are the most common equipment used to complete high-rise projects. No matter how high the work, we can reach it.

Apartment complexes & condominiums

From large to small, condos and apartment complexes offer a variety of challenges. Using the right equipment is crucial for successful outcomes.

Office buildings

Another structure that requires a multi-pronged approach includes office buildings. Working at height must be a specialty the painting contractor offers.
