Do you work on occupied commercial buildings?

Yes. Most commercial exterior work happens while the building is occupied. We phase the work to keep entrances clear, communicate with your team daily, and schedule disruptive activity during off-peak hours when possible.

What surfaces can you paint on commercial exteriors?

Masonry, concrete block, metal and steel, fiber cement, wood siding, EIFS, and stucco. Each substrate requires specific products and prep — we select the right system for what we're working with.

How long does a commercial exterior paint job take?

Depends on building size and condition. A small retail strip might take 3-5 days. A multi-story office building could take 2-3 weeks. We give you a day-by-day schedule before work starts.

Do you handle rust treatment on metal buildings?

Yes. We treat rust before any finish coat goes on. We don't paint over rust — it will cause the new coat to fail. Rust treatment and direct-to-metal primer are standard parts of our metal prep process.

Can you coordinate with other trades on a larger project?

Yes. We routinely work alongside roofers, gutter installers, and other contractors. We coordinate sequencing with your project manager or facilities contact to keep the project moving.

Property managers and facilities directors don't need convincing on why the exterior matters. They need to know what surfaces you can handle, how you manage access around an occupied building, and how the quote process works. Here's that information.

We work on occupied commercial buildings throughout Nashville — tenants in, customers on-site, business running. Phased scheduling, early starts, weekend access — whatever the building requires. Fill out the form below to get a site walk scheduled and a written quote within 48 hours.

Surfaces and Materials We Paint

Fiber Cement (HardiePlank) — Common on newer Nashville commercial construction. We prime bare areas, caulk seams, and apply two coats of exterior acrylic. Cut edges get primed — that's where moisture gets in if you skip it.

Masonry and Concrete Block — Requires masonry-specific primers and paint. We seal cracks, treat efflorescence, and apply elastomeric coatings where water infiltration is a concern.

Metal and Steel — Rust treatment and direct-to-metal primer before any finish coat. We don't paint over rust. We address it.

Wood Siding and Trim — Sand, fill, prime bare wood, two finish coats. Same standard we apply to residential wood exteriors.

EIFS and Stucco — Elastomeric paint to allow for movement without cracking. We assess condition and recommend repair before coating.

The Commercial Exterior Process

Step 1 — Site Walk
We walk the building with your facilities manager or property contact. We identify all surfaces, note access requirements, document existing conditions, and flag any substrate-specific prep. Typically 30–60 minutes depending on building size.

Step 2 — Fixed-Price Quote (within 48 hours)
Written quote covering all surfaces, prep work, materials, timeline, and phasing. No open-ended estimates. You know the full cost before work starts.

Step 3 — Schedule Confirmation
We coordinate start date, phasing, and access restrictions with your team. You get a day-by-day schedule. We work in phases to minimize disruption to entrances and high-traffic areas — early starts, weekend work, and sequenced access are all standard.

Step 4 — Prep and Repair
Pressure washing, crack repair, caulking, rust treatment, priming. We protect landscaping, windows, signage, and surrounding hardscape throughout. This phase takes 1–3 days depending on building size and condition.

Step 5 — Paint Application
Two coats on all surfaces using Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams commercial exterior lines. Product matched to substrate — elastomeric for masonry, direct-to-metal for steel, exterior acrylic for fiber cement and wood. Clean, organized site maintained daily.

Step 6 — Final Walk-Through
We walk the building with your contact, address any items, confirm completion before invoicing.

“Would definitely use them again! Were able to come out quickly and get a pretty big job done in a little over 3 days (wall paper removal, drywall repair, painting). Paint looks great and we’re always on time and communicative!”

“The wood fencing and porticos around my property were in serious trouble from years of weathering. The meticulous and thorough job that was done in in sealing cracks in the wood and staining were absolutely a transformative restoration! The effort in preparation and attention to detail was just phenomenal. I was extremely pleased and highly recommend this service. Additionally, I was contacted multiple times during the process to ensure that things were going smoothly”
