Commercial painting in Boca Raton
Quoted to your job. Offices, storefronts and common areas, scheduled around your hours rather than ours. We work overnight when that is easier, which it usually is.
Being open 24/7 is the point here
For a restaurant, a retail unit or a medical office, the cost of painting is mostly the cost of being shut. Working nights and weekends is the difference between a repaint and a closure, and because we run 24/7 it is a normal schedule for us rather than a premium favour. We will plan the sequence around your trading hours and stick to it.
Common areas in occupied buildings
Corridors, lobbies, stairwells and garages in an occupied building mean access, noise and odour are as much of the job as the coating. We sequence the work so residents or staff lose one route rather than all of them, keep egress clear, and use low-odour products where people cannot simply leave for the day.
Storefronts and first impressions
Exterior commercial work in South Florida takes the same beating a house does, with more foot traffic at the base of the wall and more attention on how it looks. We prep to the same standard as residential, and we will tell you honestly where a higher-spec coating pays for itself on a wall that gets touched all day and where it does not.
What a commercial estimate covers
Commercial work is quoted to the job rather than from a published starting price, because no two are alike. We walk the space rather than quoting from a floor plan: access, ceiling height, existing condition and working hours move the number more than square footage does. The written estimate covers the schedule as well as the price, so you know which nights we are in the building before you agree to anything.
Low-odour products where people stay
In a medical office, a dental practice or anywhere with residents who cannot leave, odour matters as much as dry time. Modern low-VOC coatings have closed most of the performance gap with solvent-based products, and where they have not we will say so and plan the schedule around ventilation instead of pretending the smell is not there.
How the work runs
Step by step, in the order it happens
-
Walk the site and agree the constraints
Before scope, the constraints: your operating hours, which areas can be out of use and when, access equipment, parking, keys and alarms, and who signs off. Those decide the plan more than the square footage does.
-
Scope in writing, surface by surface
A commercial scope lists every surface, its product and its sheen, rather than describing the building. Ambiguity that is tolerable on a house becomes a change order on a commercial job.
-
Phase it around your operation
Most of our commercial work happens in occupied buildings. That means phasing by area, working overnight or at weekends where that is easier, and leaving each phase in a usable state rather than at a convenient stopping point for us.
-
Execute with the site protected
Floors, fixtures, equipment and stock protected throughout. In a tenanted or customer facing space, what the site looks like at 8am matters as much as the finished work.
-
Punch list and sign off
We walk it with you or your facilities contact, list what is outstanding, and close it out. Nobody should be finding items after the crew has gone.
What the price includes
- A written scope listing every surface with its product and sheen
- Phasing agreed around your operating hours, including overnight and weekend work
- Protection of floors, fixtures, equipment and stock throughout
- Daily reinstatement so the space is usable between phases
- A walked punch list and sign off
What it does not
- Line marking, unless specified
- Work requiring a separate trade, such as electrical disconnection of fixtures
- Permits or association approvals, though we assist with documentation
- Substrate remediation beyond ordinary preparation, which is quoted once visible
Anything here can still be quoted. It is listed so nothing on the estimate is a surprise later.
What moves the number
- Area and surface types
- A warehouse with open block wall and an occupied office suite with hundreds of door frames are not comparable by square footage.
- Occupancy and hours
- Overnight and weekend work carries a different rate from daytime work in an empty unit.
- Access equipment
- Ceiling heights that need lifts rather than ladders change the plan, the cost and the scheduling.
- Phasing
- A building done in six phases costs more than the same building done in one, because setup and protection repeat.
- Specification
- Washable coatings for a corridor, block filler on masonry and a hard enamel on door frames are all deliberate choices with different costs.
The scope document is the job
On a house, a good estimate prevents misunderstandings. On a commercial project it prevents disputes. Everything that will be painted needs listing, with its product and sheen, and everything that will not needs listing too. So do the working hours, who provides access, what happens if a phase cannot start because the area was not cleared, and how additional work is approved. Most commercial jobs that go badly did not go badly during the painting. They went badly because two parties had different pictures of what was included, and nothing on paper settled it.
Working around your operation rather than through it
We are open 24/7 and a genuine amount of our commercial work happens outside business hours, because for a lot of buildings that is simply the sensible answer. Retail units get painted after close. Offices get done over a weekend, floor by floor. Common areas in occupied buildings get phased so residents and tenants always have a clear route through. The finished work is the same either way. What changes is whether your operation absorbed the disruption or barely noticed it.
Questions we get asked
- Can you paint outside our business hours?
- Yes, and often that is the right answer. We are open 24/7 and a lot of our commercial work happens overnight or at weekends so the space is usable when you need it. Out of hours work carries a different rate, which is stated in the scope.
- How do you price commercial painting?
- By scope rather than by a published rate, because a warehouse with open block wall and an occupied office suite with hundreds of door frames are not comparable by square footage. We walk the site, agree the constraints and put a written scope in front of you.
- Can you work in an occupied building?
- Most of our commercial work is in occupied buildings. It is phased by area so each phase ends in a usable state, with routes kept clear and the site reinstated daily rather than at the end of the project.
- Do you handle property management and HOA common areas?
- Yes, including corridors, lobbies, stairwells, garages and exterior common elements. Those jobs live or die on phasing and on communication with residents, so both are agreed before anything starts.
