Quayside Art Gallery — Pensacola, FL

Pro 1 Painters restored the historic Quayside Art Gallery exterior in downtown Pensacola, matching its original pastel pink to fit the historic district.

When Pro 1 Painters was selected as the chosen painting contractor for restoring the Quayside Art Gallery in Pensacola, the team couldn’t have been more excited. Not many painting projects involve revitalizing commercial buildings with such rich history and community importance. The gallery is a local fixture and actually ranks as the largest co-op gallery in the Southeast – featuring local artists from Pensacola and the surrounding area.

As the images from the project show, the building had weathered some storms over the years and there were some signs of wear and tear on the external concrete. It was in dire need of our commercial painting service.

Pro 1 Painters was able to match the original pastel pink color and restore the magic feeling to the exterior of the building – perfectly complimenting the surrounding historic district of Downtown Pensacola.

Where does Pro 1 Painters take commercial work?

Pro 1 Painters is based in Mobile, and most of our commercial jobs are right at home — storefronts along the Government Street historic corridor, offices in Midtown and Spring Hill, and buildings out in West Mobile and across Mobile County. We also travel the Gulf Coast for the right historic and commercial projects, which is how we ended up restoring the Quayside Art Gallery in downtown Pensacola. Whether your building is a Mobile landmark or a neighborhood shop, the prep, color matching, and finish work are the same care we brought to the gallery.

FAQ

Common questions.

How did you match the gallery's original pastel pink?

We matched the building's existing pastel pink so the restored exterior reads true to its history and fits the surrounding downtown district. Color matching on a weathered historic facade takes careful prep and a trained eye, which is a big part of what we do on commercial exterior work.

Does Pro 1 Painters take commercial projects beyond Mobile?

Yes. We're a Mobile-based commercial painter, and along with serving businesses across Mobile County and the Gulf Coast, we travel for the right historic and commercial projects — the Quayside Art Gallery in downtown Pensacola is one example.

How do you protect a historic building's character when repainting?

We match original colors, prep weathered concrete and masonry properly, and work to complement the surrounding district rather than change the building's look. The goal is to restore and protect, not modernize away the history.
