Working with

the White Sox

Length of Service:

9 years

Goods/Services Provided:

Painting, wall-covering & special finishes

 

The White Sox take great pride in the appearance and maintenance of our ballpark, U.S. Cellular Field. We feel this is a very important aspect of our fan’s experience. Like any facility, maintenance is key and an ongoing process. The Chicago White Sox are delighted to have our painting needs serviced by Continental Painting.  Continental has been as our year-round painting contractor since 2002.

Some might wonder needs to be painted at a ballpark. The answer is many areas. Before opening day, Continental covers all areas of the park, performing “touch ups” on anything and everything that might need work. This includes doors, walls, ceilings, railings, handicap areas - and yes, there is an occasional need to remove graffiti. Then there are special projects such as the painting of our washrooms, party areas and office areas.

Continental provided us with outstanding service during our historic 2005 season.  The company helped us to look like champions during our historic run for the World Series, and the fans notices.  The Chicago White Sox are pleased to recognize Continental Painting as one of our top performers of 2005, and one of America's Best Diverse Suppliers(R).
