Industrial Overhead Door Painting at Ramcel Manufacturing in Northbrook, IL

Location:Northbrook, Illinois
Location:Northbrook, Illinois

Client and Facility Overview

Ramcel, a manufacturing company, operates from multiple facilities along MacArthur Boulevard in Northbrook, Illinois. The project encompassed two locations, both buildings featuring industrial overhead doors that serve as critical access points for their manufacturing operations.

Requested Maintenance

The client required professional painting services for their exterior overhead doors and door frames at both locations. The existing surfaces showed signs of wear, including rust development and flaking paint, necessitating a comprehensive restoration approach. Specifically, the scope included:

  • Primary Location: Two overhead doors and frames (left and right) on the street-facing side
  • Secondary Location: One overhead door and frame on the street-facing side
  • Surface Conditions: Areas of rust and deteriorating paint requiring specialized preparation and treatment
  • Finish Requirements: New protective coating system using industrial-grade direct-to-metal acrylic paint

Decision Driver and Timing

The deteriorating condition of the overhead doors and frames, including visible rust and flaking paint, drove the need for immediate maintenance intervention. The project was structured for efficient execution through a single mobilization during standard weekday hours, minimizing operational disruption while addressing all locations simultaneously. The timing and approach were specifically designed to maintain the professional appearance of these street-facing entrances while providing lasting protection against environmental exposure.

Scope of Work

Surface Preparation: 

  • Thorough hand washing of all exterior surfaces scheduled for painting
  • Careful scraping and light sanding of rusted areas and locations with flaking paint
  • Implementation of comprehensive masking systems to protect adjacent surfaces

Coating Application:

  • Application of Benjamin Moore Ultra Spec DTM (Direct To Metal) Acrylic in white
  • Two-coat system on all overhead doors and frames for maximum durability
  • Consistent color application across both facility locations

Quality Control:

  • Three-technician crew deployment for optimal workflow and quality oversight
  • Strict adherence to manufacturer specifications for coating application
  • Comprehensive clean-up protocol upon project completion

Safety Implementation:

  • Establishment of Controlled Access Zones (CAZ) with clear boundary marking
  • Deployment of safety cones and caution tape to protect work areas
  • Full compliance with OSHA guidelines and company safety protocols

Notable Details

Coordinated Execution: Single mobilization approach across multiple buildings streamlined the project timeline and reduced overall facility disruption

Safety Protocols: Implementation of comprehensive safety measures including:

  • Controlled Access Zones (CAZ) with red boundary tape
  • Clear communication systems for access control
  • Full PPE compliance including protective gloves, safety glasses, and appropriate workwear

Precise Scope Management: Clearly defined project boundaries with specific exclusions documented for:

  • Exterior wall surfaces
  • Anodized surfaces
  • Man doors and door hardware

Quality Assurance: Built-in contingency planning through the unforeseen conditions clause, ensuring transparent communication and client approval for any necessary scope adjustments

Client Satisfaction

The project met all specified requirements through professional execution and attention to detail. The new protective coating system not only restored the appearance of the overhead doors but also provided enhanced protection against future weathering and wear. The efficient single-mobilization approach demonstrated Painters USA's commitment to minimizing client disruption while delivering high-quality results across multiple facilities.
