Client Concern and Initial Contact

Angela Westmoore LLC, an interior design contractor, reached out to OCS Contracting Services to assist with a unique project for the Milwaukee Breast Cancer Showcase. Referred by one of the event’s designers, they had a bold vision in mind: a dramatic, ultra-high-gloss ceiling finish for the entry hallway. To achieve this level of sophistication, they specified Fine Paints of Europe products — a premium coating that demands expert application. With our proven experience and attention to detail, OCS Contracting Services was selected as the trusted painting contractor to bring this vision to life.

Understanding the Project

During our initial conversation, it became clear that Fine Paints of Europe was the perfect fit for the designer’s vision. We knew that delivering a flawless high-gloss ceiling would require specialized skills and attention to detail. 

Our professional painters have extensive experience with premium coating systems, and we understand the importance of following the manufacturer’s guidelines to the letter. This knowledge, combined with our reputation for precision and craftsmanship, made us the ideal partner for this project.

Our Approach: High-Gloss Ceiling Refinishing

We approached the project with a focus on quality and durability. The process began with thorough surface preparation, which included cleaning the ceiling, repairing any imperfections, and sanding the surface to create a smooth base. We then applied a high-adhesion primer to ensure a strong bond for the final finish. Multiple coats of Fine Paints of Europe’s high-gloss enamel were applied using a combination of professional-grade brushes and HVLP spray equipment, with each layer carefully sanded between coats to achieve a flawless, mirror-like result.

Tools and Materials

To ensure the best results, we used only top-tier tools and materials throughout the project. Our team utilized professional-grade sanding equipment and patching compounds to prepare the surface for painting. We applied high-adhesion primer followed by Fine Paints of Europe’s alkyd enamel, known for its superior gloss and durability. Scaffolding and drop protection were also used to maintain a safe and clean work environment while achieving a seamless finish.

Project Duration and Timeline

This high-gloss ceiling refinishing project was completed in just one week, meeting the tight deadline required for the Breast Cancer Showcase event. Under normal circumstances, a project of this scale and detail typically takes about two weeks to complete. We worked efficiently without compromising quality to ensure the space was ready in time for the event. We take pride in delivering exceptional results, even under demanding timelines.
