Hester Painting & Decorating won an award for the Commercial Interior category. Details on their warehouse project near O’Hare Airport are listed below.
The new owners of the warehouse in Des Plaines, Illinois made the right choice when selecting Hester Decorating Company to take on this Commercial Interior project for its 100,000 square foot warehouse. This challenging project had a very limited time frame with a large scope of work, including coating the 100,000 square foot corrugated metal ceiling, 32,000 square foot pre-cast tilt up walls and columns. Hester Painting & Decorating kept safety a top priority, due to the size of equipment and scissor platform lifts needed to complete this massive project. Congratulations to Steve and the rest of his team at Hester Painting & Decorating on a job well done. Their efforts have been rewarded with the 2012 award for the Commercial Interior category.
“The PIPP awards recognize the very best of the best in the painting industry and honors PDCA members by showcasing their stellar work among their peers from across the nation,” said Darylene Dennon, past chair and current treasurer of PDCA. “I applaud Hester Painting & Decorating on their outstanding performance and excellent craftsmanship.”
