Facility Description

Located in Humboldt Park, Illinois, the cafeteria serves not just as a place for meals but as a communal space for patients, staff, and visitors.

The client aimed for minimal disruption to the facility’s operations, making efficient project execution a key priority.

Wall Refresh: Addressed the need for patching and smoothing before applying two coats of semi-gloss paint, maintaining the consistency in color with the ceilings for a unified look
Door Frame Painting: Included meticulous preparation and finishing with two coats of semi-gloss enamel, ensuring durability and ease of maintenance
