Our Uncompromising Commitment to Hospital Safety & Infection Control

In a hospital, the standard for “clean” is absolute. Our entire process is built around mitigating risk and protecting your most vulnerable occupants, aligning with the highest standards of infection control during maintenance and renovation.

Advanced ICRA Containment Protocols

We are proficient in Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) protocols. Every project begins with a detailed plan to isolate the work area using critical barriers, including floor-to-ceiling plastic or hard-wall containment. We utilize negative air machines with HEPA filters to prevent any dust, particulates, or fumes from migrating into patient care areas.

EPA-Registered Microbicidal & Anti-Microbial Coatings

We utilize the most advanced high-performance coating systems designed for healthcare. This includes zero-VOC paints to protect indoor air quality and EPA-registered microbicidal paints for high-touch surfaces, which have the ability to kill harmful bacteria on the painted surface.

24/7 Scheduling & Logistical Precision

Hospitals never sleep, and neither do we. Our teams are available to work 24/7, scheduling projects in carefully coordinated phases—often overnight—to ensure critical departments like Emergency, ORs, and ICUs remain fully operational without any disruption to life-saving activities.

Coating Solutions for Every Department of Your Hospital

We provide specialized painting services for the unique requirements of each area within your facility.

• Patient Rooms & Recovery Areas: We use low-odor, fast-curing paints to get rooms back in service quickly while creating a calming, healing atmosphere.
• Operating Rooms & Surgical Suites: We apply seamless, non-porous, and highly chemical-resistant coatings that can withstand rigorous sterilization protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions for Hospital Painting

1. What are your ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment) procedures?

   Our ICRA procedures involve a four-step process for every project: a thorough risk assessment, implementing a containment plan (using barriers and negative air machines), monitoring the work area constantly, and documenting the process. Our goal is to ensure that dust and contaminants are 100% contained within the work zone.

2. Can you work in an active patient care area, like near an ICU or Emergency Department?

   Yes. This is our specialty. We work in close collaboration with your facilities and clinical staff to schedule work during periods of lower activity. We use advanced containment and low-noise equipment to work discreetly and safely adjacent to even the most sensitive patient care areas without compromising operations.

3. What specific training do your painters have for working in hospitals?

   Our lead painters and project managers are trained in healthcare-specific protocols, including ICRA procedures, infection control best practices, and understanding patient privacy considerations (HIPAA). They are professionals who know how to conduct themselves with the discretion and seriousness required in a hospital setting.
