Project Spotlight: Sage International School Exterior Painting

Last Updated: September 21, 2026

A fresh brand deserves a campus that reflects it.


As Sage International School prepared for a new school year, updating the exterior of its Boise campus was an important part of a much larger summer painting project. The goal was to give the building a clean, consistent appearance that better reflected Sage’s updated branding while addressing the wear that comes with maintaining a busy school facility.


With a limited summer window and extensive interior work happening at the same time, our team managed the exterior painting from preparation and repairs through final completion, keeping the entire project on schedule before students returned.


The Scope

A full exterior repaint of Sage International School’s Boise campus designed to refresh the building, address worn surfaces, and create a more consistent appearance that complemented the school’s updated branding.


The System


A durable exterior finish starts well before the paint goes on. Our team followed a detailed process that included:


  • Surface Preparation & Repairs – Addressed damaged and worn areas throughout the exterior to create a sound surface before painting began.
  • Detailed Exterior Prep – Properly prepared and protected surrounding surfaces to help ensure clean lines, consistent coverage, and a professional finished product.
  • Durable Exterior Coatings – Used quality Sherwin-Williams products selected to provide lasting protection against weather, sun exposure, and the everyday demands of a school campus.
  • Project Coordination – Phased the exterior work alongside the larger interior painting project, coordinating crews and schedules to complete everything within Sage’s required summer timeline.


The Impact


The completed exterior repaint gave Sage International School’s Boise campus a clean, updated appearance that better reflects the school and its brand. More importantly, the preparation, repairs, and durable coating system provide added protection for the building and a finish designed to hold up for years to come.



The exterior was one piece of a much larger project totaling more than 2,000 labor hours across Sage’s Boise and Middleton campuses, all coordinated and completed within approximately eight weeks and before the start of the new school year.


For schools and other commercial facilities, a successful exterior painting project takes more than a crew and a coat of paint. Spray 'n Coat Painting provides commercial exterior painting throughout Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the Treasure Valley with the planning, preparation, communication, and project management needed to handle large-scale projects from start to finish.
