Behind the Project: Schwarz Bakery Makeover
The Challenge:
Swartz Bakery, a beloved local institution in Wentworth Falls, needed a full refresh of its exterior paintwork, including its high-traffic outdoor seating area. With a strong morning rush and steady foot traffic throughout the day, coordinating the work without disrupting business operations was crucial. The building’s exterior showed signs of wear, particularly in high-touch areas, which required thorough surface preparation and premium coatings to ensure long-lasting results. The bakery owner was also keen to preserve the business’s warm and welcoming appearance during and after the works.
The Solution:
Our team approached the project with careful planning and open collaboration with the business owner to create a schedule that minimized disruption. We began work early each morning, well before the first customers arrived, allowing us to complete the most disruptive tasks before peak hours.
In high-traffic areas like doorways, railing points, and the outdoor seating zone, we applied extra surface preparation, including deep cleaning, sanding, and priming. To ensure durability and aesthetic appeal, we used premium exterior paints formulated for commercial environments and added extra coats where needed.
We sectioned off work zones in phases to keep parts of the outdoor seating accessible while maintaining safety and cleanliness standards throughout the project.
The Outcome:
The exterior of Swartz Bakery was transformed with a fresh, professional finish that complements its charming mountain-town location. The enhanced durability in high-traffic zones means the paintwork will withstand daily wear far better, reducing future maintenance needs.
By working closely with the business owner and adjusting our schedule to fit around trading hours, the bakery continued to operate smoothly throughout the project. The final result not only boosted the bakery’s curb appeal but also reinforced its reputation as a well-maintained and customer-focused establishment in the heart of Wentworth Falls.
