Gibson Painting
Commercial, Office / Lab | 5-Month Timeline | 2025 ABC Award of Merit
Project
Overview
After a catastrophic fire destroyed their previous facility, Gibson Painting needed more than just a rebuild—they needed a partner who could deliver fast, with precision and care. Steinberger Construction answered the call, completing a ground-up commercial facility in just five months to restore Gibson’s operations with speed and confidence.
From day one, the project was driven by urgency. Steinberger led planning, permitting, construction, and closeout—working closely with Gibson to design a space that met their specialized equipment, storage, and workflow needs. Despite the accelerated timeline, every detail was executed with care, ensuring the final product exceeded expectations in quality, efficiency, and design.
The result is a durable, future-ready facility that not only supports Gibson’s daily operations but also reflects their resilience and growth. Part of the new building now proudly houses Steinberger’s Lafayette regional headquarters—a fitting symbol of the project’s long-term impact and shared success.
