Commercial Painting Guides & Tips

A storefront that's closed for painting isn't open for business, so the hardest part of a commercial job usually isn't the paint — it's the schedule. Working nights, sectioning a floor, keeping a lobby usable while the rest gets painted: planning around your operations is the whole game.

Here you'll find how we approach occupied spaces that can't close, plus the surface problems specific to commercial buildings — efflorescence on masonry, rust on metal railings, and the prep that makes a finish last on a building that takes daily traffic. Floor painting for shops and warehouses comes up too, along with what's involved in repainting retail, offices, dealerships, and HOA exteriors.

Practical reading for any facility manager scoping a repaint.
