Commercial Painting — Direct Answers
What is commercial painting?
Commercial painting is interior and exterior coatings work for businesses — offices, retail, restaurants, churches, warehouses, multi-unit — scheduled around operating hours and specced with high-traffic-durability coatings.
Why does commercial painting fail?
- Residential-grade paint on commercial walls — scuffs and burnishes inside 12 months.
- No surface profile on previously coated CMU or metal — early adhesion failure.
- Painting during business hours — fumes, masking, and rushed prep destroy the result.
What does commercial painting cost?
Custom by sqft and complexity. Typical Thumb office repaints run $4,000–$25,000; full commercial exteriors $8,000–$60,000+.

- Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200 — workhorse interior commercial wall paint
- Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial DTM — direct-to-metal acrylic for storefronts, railings, doors
- Sherwin-Williams Loxon XP — exterior masonry/CMU coating with hairline crack bridging
How long does commercial painting last?
5–8 years on high-traffic commercial walls with ProMar 200; 10-15 years on properly prepped commercial exteriors with Pro Industrial DTM and Loxon XP.
What preparation is required for commercial painting?
- Survey and document existing coatings and substrates
