Commercial Painting Project Spotlight Hydro East in Aston, PA
Hydro East in Aston, PA
Nolan Painting recently completed a large-scale commercial painting project in Aston, PA for Hydro East. While we are widely recognized for our residential painting expertise, our team can also competently execute commercial and industrial painting projects. This active pump repair and engineering facility required extensive surface preparation, specialized lift equipment, and durable industrial coatings to ensure a professional, long-lasting finish.
Scope of Work: Full Factory Wall Repaint
Our team was brought in to paint all four walls throughout the factory space. With tall ceilings and exposed beams, access was one of the primary challenges. To safely and efficiently reach the full height of the facility, we utilized two of our high-reach lifts. Having this specialized equipment in-house allows Nolan Painting to take on large-scale commercial painting projects that many companies simply are not equipped to handle. This capability was key to completing the job thoroughly and professionally from floor to ceiling.
Industrial Surface Preparation
In an industrial environment like Hydro East, surface preparation is an extremely important step in the painting process. Dust and debris had accumulated on the walls and structural beams, and proper cleaning was essential to ensure long-term adhesion.
Our preparation process included:
- Removing loose dust and debris from walls and beams
- Hand cleaning all surfaces
- Applying No Rinse Prepaint Cleaner to cut through dust without pressure washing
- Wiping surfaces clean with damp rags to ensure a dust-free finish
High-Performance Paint for Industrial EnvironmentsÂ
After meticulous preparation, the walls were coated with two full coats of Sherwin Williams Pro Industrial Multi Surface Acrylic.
This paint was selected specifically for the environment because it offers:
- Excellent adhesion to metal surfaces
- Strong stain-blocking capabilities
- Durable performance in high-use facilities
- A bright, clean finish that improves overall appearance

The result is a refreshed, professional-looking facility with walls that are built to withstand the demands of an industrial workspace.
Why Equipment and Experience Matter in Commercial Painting
Since Nolan Painting owns and operates high-reach lifts, we can safely and efficiently complete projects that involve heights beyond single stories without relying on outside rentals or subcontractors. Combined with our trained team and detailed preparation process, this allows us to deliver consistent, high-quality results on large-scale commercial projects.
The completed project at Hydro East transformed the overall appearance of the factory space. The walls are now refreshed, looking bright, clean, and uniform.
