FAQ's

1. How often should a commercial property be repainted?

Most commercial buildings need repainting every 7–10 years, depending on the surface material, exposure to weather, and level of wear. High-traffic properties like apartments or hotels may require more frequent updates to maintain curb appeal and protect against environmental damage.


2. Do you work around operating businesses and tenants?

Yes. We understand that minimizing disruption is critical. Our crews offer flexible scheduling—including nights, weekends, and phased project planning—to ensure your business or property continues to operate smoothly during painting and repairs.


3. What preparation is included before painting starts?

Preparation is the key to a long-lasting finish. We include pressure washing, surface repairs, caulking, sanding, and priming as needed before any paint is applied. This ensures proper adhesion, durability, and a clean final appearance.


4. What type of paint do you use for commercial projects?

We use premium, commercial-grade coatings designed for durability, weather resistance, and high-traffic areas. Low-VOC and fast-drying paints are available to reduce odors and downtime—ideal for occupied properties such as apartments, hotels, and retirement communities.


5. Do you provide maintenance after the project is complete?

Yes. Beyond one-time painting projects, we offer ongoing maintenance programs to keep your property looking fresh year-round. This may include touch-ups, pressure washing, waterproofing, or minor repairs to protect your investment and reduce long-term costs.
