“The plan named who to call at what hour, and the barrier was up before the first can opened. Our infection-prevention nurse looked over the photos on Monday and asked for no changes.”

Healthcare and institutional painting, Albany, NY
Repainted overnight. Handed back for the morning shift.
Leflore Healthcare Painting repaints corridors, patient rooms, clinics and stairwells in Albany and the Capital Region on nights and weekends, inside your infection-control rules, with a written plan for every area.

Area handed back
A typical night window. Your written plan sets the real one for each area.
After hours, hour by hour
One corridor, one night
This is the usual shape of a night. Your written plan moves the times to fit your unit, your census and your cleaning staff.
- 015:30 p.m.
Step 1: Badge in and walk
The crew lead meets your charge nurse or facility contact, signs in the way your security desk asks and walks the area against the plan.
- 026:00 p.m.
Step 2: Set the barrier
Barrier, floor covering and signs go up first. Vents and ceiling access are sealed or left alone as your plan says, and the area is photographed before a can is opened.
- 037:00 p.m.
Step 3: Prep with HEPA at the tool
Patch, caulk and sand with HEPA vacuums on the tool, so dust is caught where it starts instead of swept up later.
- 049:00 p.m.
Step 4: Prime and paint
Products from your approved list, a coat at a time, with fans and air handling set by your facility team. Dry time between coats is written into the plan.
- 054:30 a.m.
Step 5: Clean down
Surfaces and floors wiped with your approved cleaner, tape pulled, barrier down, and waste out by the route your plan names.
- 065:30 a.m.
Step 6: Walk and hand back
The crew lead and your contact walk the area together. Anything missed becomes a punch-list line, and keys, signs and vent covers go back as found.
Times are an example. Dry time, cure time and your census set the real ones, and the plan says when the area can take traffic.
Infection control
We follow your plan, step by step
Your infection-prevention team writes the permit for each area. We build to it, document it and hand it back clean.
We aren't your infection-prevention team and we don't stand in for one. The crew lead keeps your permit on site, and every barrier, cleaning step and handback is photographed for your file.

From facility teams
What the morning walk-through is like
“Hallways on three floors, one floor a night. Residents saw a sign instead of a mess, and the meal carts rolled at six.”
Eamon R.Operations manager, senior living community
“They asked the year the building went up before anything else, then told us how the lead rule applied to a space where children are.”

Questions
What facility teams ask first
Do you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Most of our work happens on nights and weekends in buildings that stay open. Your staff clear the area before we start, and we never paint a room while a patient or resident is in it. The plan names the area, the hours and who we call if something changes.
What is an ICRA, and who writes it?
ICRA stands for infection control risk assessment. Your infection-prevention team assigns the class for each area and writes the permit that sets the barrier, air handling and cleaning. We don't replace that team. We follow its permit and keep a copy on site with the crew lead.
Which paint and cleaner do you use?
Products from your approved list. If you have none, we propose products from the manufacturer's product data sheet and send the data sheet and safety data sheet with the bid. We don't make health claims about any coating, and we use the cleaner your environmental services team names.
Do you work in homes built before 1978?
We work in buildings of every age, and we ask the year built when you send an area. The EPA's lead rule (RRP) covers paid work that disturbs paint in homes and child-occupied buildings built before 1978, which can include pediatric offices and childcare rooms in older buildings. For those spaces the bid says how the work is set up and how dust is controlled, and our EPA firm registration number is on the credentials list.
What if an area can't be handed back on time?
The plan says who we call, at what hour, and what happens next: a longer barrier, a closed room for one more shift or a patch of floor kept clear. We tell you as soon as we know, and we don't leave a barrier up without your sign-off.
How does the walk-through work?
In daylight, usually with your facility contact and someone from infection prevention or environmental services. We measure, check the surfaces, note access and egress, and ask about shutoffs, fire-alarm contacts and parking. The written bid follows.
