After hours
The night, hour by hour
One corridor from the key to the handback. Your plan moves the times, and it names who to call at each of them.
- 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.
The night roster
Who is in your building
A crew works with a lead, and the office stays reachable all night.
Crew lead
Holds your permit and the sign-in sheet, walks the area at the start and the end, and speaks for the crew.
One named lead per crew
Painters
A crew of five or six, in clean clothes and shoe covers, who work area by area and don't wander.
Crews follow your PPE rules
Night supervisor
On the phone for the crew lead and for your charge nurse or security desk while a crew is on site.
Line answered 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
House rules
What we keep to at night
Quiet buildings are easy to disturb. The crew follows a short set of rules, and your facility adds its own.
We sign in at the desk, park where your security team says, keep noise down near occupied units and never leave a barrier up without your contact's sign-off.
Sign in and out at the desk each shift
Park and unload where security directs
Keep egress routes, elevators and fire doors clear
No wet paint on any route your staff use at six a.m.
Tools, cans and waste leave with the crew
Seasons and breaks
When each kind of building has room
Hospitals and clinics can take work all year, one area at a time. Schools and colleges have one long gap. Your calendar decides.
Hospital wings and clinics
Any month, one area at a time, with the barrier and the permit.
Jan to Dec
Senior living
Any month, one floor a night, outside meal service.
Jan to Dec
Schools and childcare
Summer break is the long stretch. Winter and spring breaks and weeknights fill the rest.
Jun to Aug
Colleges and labs
Summer, and the weeks between terms.
Jun to Aug
Ask your finance office when the next budget year opens. Bids need to land before it does.
After-hours questions
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 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.
Can you work only on weekends or during a school break?
Yes. Weekend-only and break-only schedules are common for clinics and schools. The plan sets the days, and the bid says how many nights the work needs.
What do you need from us for vendor onboarding?
Tell us what your facility asks of contractors: badges, orientation, records and sign-in. We send our certificate of insurance and W-9 first, then complete the rest before the first night.
