The choice depends on your facility's needs and budget. Interior painting focuses on employee comfort, brand presentation, and compliance (e.g., low-VOC in healthcare). Exterior painting protects your building envelope from weather, UV damage, and moisture intrusion. Many clients start with exterior work since it directly impacts curb appeal and structural protection, then schedule interior upgrades around business operations.

The biggest pricing factors are surface area and condition, coating type (standard latex vs. epoxy or specialty coatings), access requirements (scaffolding, lifts, confined spaces), surface preparation needed (power washing, scraping, priming), and scheduling constraints (nights, weekends, phased work). Projects requiring OSHA-certified crews or specialized coatings like fire-retardant or antimicrobial paints cost more but deliver long-term value through extended coating life.

Standard commercial paint works well for offices, retail spaces, and general commercial interiors. Specialty coatings are recommended when your facility has specific requirements: epoxy for warehouse floors and high-traffic areas, antimicrobial coatings for healthcare and food processing, fire-retardant coatings for code compliance, and chemical-resistant coatings for industrial environments. Specialty coatings cost 2-3x more upfront but last 2-4x longer and reduce maintenance costs.

Warranty periods vary by service type and exposure conditions. Interior commercial painting typically carries a 5-year warranty. Exterior painting warranties range from 5-7 years due to weather exposure. Industrial coatings and specialty applications often include 7-10 year warranties because of their advanced formulations. Roof coatings may carry warranties up to 15 years. All Moorhouse warranties include annual inspections and are fully transferable to new property owners.

Yes, phased painting is one of the most popular approaches for occupied commercial properties. We can divide work by floors, wings, or zones and complete each phase during off-hours, weekends, or scheduled closures. Phased projects typically add 10-15% to timelines but maintain full business operations. Our project managers create detailed phasing plans that include dust containment, ventilation management, and daily cleanup to keep your space functional throughout the project.
