Our Process
Every commercial painting project follows the same proven workflow. Clear communication, detailed planning, professional execution, and a final walkthrough before we leave. No surprises, no punch lists, no chasing us down for touch-ups.
Site Walkthrough & Bid
We visit your property to assess square footage, surface conditions, access requirements, and scheduling constraints. We document existing damage, note areas that need repairs, and discuss your timeline and budget. You receive a detailed written estimate within 48 hours that breaks down labor, materials, and any prep work required. No hidden fees, no change orders, no deposit required to get on our schedule.
Scheduling & Coordination
We work around your operations. Nights, weekends, holiday shutdowns, phased scheduling by floor or wing, or full building shutdowns when the timeline is tight. We coordinate directly with property managers, building maintenance, tenants, and other trades on site. You get a dedicated point of contact who keeps you updated throughout the project so there are no surprises.
Prep & Protection
Floors, fixtures, furniture, and equipment are masked and protected before any work begins. We repair drywall damage, patch holes, fill cracks in CMU block, caulk gaps around trim and fixtures, and prime bare or repaired surfaces. Proper prep is the difference between a paint job that peels in six months and one that holds up for years. We do not cut corners here.
Production
Our crews apply coatings efficiently using spray, roll, or brush depending on the surface, environment, and finish requirements. Spraying covers large warehouse walls and ceilings fast. Rolling and brushing give us precision on trim, doors, and detailed areas. We apply multiple coats at proper coverage rates and allow adequate dry time between coats. The result is a uniform finish with no thin spots, drips, or lap marks.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the completed project with you before we pack up. Any touch-ups are handled on the spot. We remove all masking, clean up debris, and leave the space ready for your team or tenants to move back in. You get a finished product you can put to work immediately, not a punch list to chase us down about later.
