PAINTING AND DECORATNG CONTRACTORS OF AMERICA
Voice of the Professional Painting and Decorating Contractor
LOCAL CONTRACTOR AWARDED
FOR EXCEPTIONAL WORK
Fortune & Associates Painting Contractors, Inc. has received national recognition for demonstrating creativity and skilled craftsmanship in their project, "Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church."
The project was a winner in the "Picture It Painted Professionally" (PIPP) Awards contest sponsored by the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA). Now in its fifteenth year, the competition honors professional painting contractors for their skillful and creative use of paint in residential, commercial and industrial settings. Fortune & Associates Painting Contractors' project won an honerable mention award in the Commercial Interior category, and was one of 21 ward recipients honored at the PDCA Annual Convention held in Nashville, TN, on March 12, 1998.
After a roofing project in 1996 caught the contractor off guard and water damaged the inside of the Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, Fortune & Associates was called upon to fix the situation. Since the insurance company would not reimburse a complete restoration of the entire ceiling, their expertise was required as they faced the challenge of graining, stenciling, glazing and custom color matching to exactly match areas that had not been painted in 40 years.
This year's PIPP contest generated more than 40 entries in eight categories: interior residential, exterior residential, interior commercial, exterior commercial, industrial, wallcoverings, faux finish and charity paint projects. Projects were judged on the basis of use of color, use of specialty painting techniques and unusual treatments, overall creativity, safety management and overall skill and execution.
PDCA is a national trade association representing over 3,200 contractors committed to leading the coatings applications industry to the highest levels of performance, profitability and professionalism.
