Q1: How much does commercial painting cost?

Commercial painting costs vary based on several factors including square footage, surface condition, paint quality, and project complexity. Most projects range from $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot. We provide free, detailed quotes after an on-site assessment to ensure accurate pricing for your specific needs.

Q2: How long does a commercial painting project take?

Project duration depends on the size and scope of work. A small office suite might take 2-3 days, while a large warehouse or multi-story building could take several weeks. We'll provide a detailed timeline during the quote process and work with your schedule to minimize business disruption.

Q3: Can you paint while our business is operating?

Yes! We specialize in working around business operations. We can schedule work during off-hours, weekends, or in phases to ensure minimal disruption. Our crews are experienced in maintaining clean, safe work areas and can work quietly when needed.

Q4: What type of paint do you use for commercial projects?

We use premium commercial-grade paints from trusted manufacturers like Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and PPG. We select products based on your specific needs - whether that's durability for high-traffic areas, low-VOC for occupied spaces, or specialized coatings for industrial applications.

Q5: How often should commercial buildings be repainted?

Exterior commercial buildings typically need repainting every 5-10 years, depending on climate, exposure, and paint quality. Interior spaces may need refreshing every 3-7 years based on traffic and wear. Regular maintenance and touch-ups can extend these timelines significantly.

Q6: Do you handle surface preparation?

Absolutely. Proper surface preparation is crucial for a lasting paint job. Our services include power washing, scraping, sanding, priming, caulking, and minor repairs. We'll identify any issues during our initial assessment and include all necessary prep work in your quote.
