A well‑painted building doesn’t just look good — it performs better, too. Commercial building painting protects your structure from weather damage, keeps your property value high, and shows your clients and tenants that you take pride in your space.
But what exactly does the process involve? From choosing the right paint to understanding how often your building should be repainted, here’s everything you need to know before getting started.
Not all paints are created equal. Commercial building painting requires durable, long‑lasting coatings that stand up to foot traffic, moisture, UV exposure, and constant cleaning.
Here are the most common options:
At Integrity Painting, we tailor every project to the environment — from low‑VOC coatings in offices to industrial finishes for manufacturing facilities.
Professional commercial building painting follows a structured process to guarantee long‑term performance and minimal disruption to business operations.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but on average, commercial interiors should be repainted every 3 to 5 years, while exteriors typically need repainting every 5 to 10 years depending on weather exposure, building materials, and traffic.
If your building is located in a city like Winnipeg where winters are harsh and summers bring intense sunlight, exterior paint may degrade faster. High-traffic interiors, like lobbies or restrooms, may need more frequent touch-ups or repaints to maintain a professional appearance.
A commercial building painting schedule isn’t just about looks—it’s a strategic investment in preserving the property’s value and reducing long-term repair costs.
Painting a commercial building requires much more than just a brush and a ladder. Here’s what a professional commercial painting project typically involves:
Professional commercial building painting isn’t a DIY job—it requires licensed contractors, proper insurance, and sometimes specialized equipment like boom lifts or scaffolding.
Choosing the right finish affects both appearance and durability:
For exteriors, satin or semi-gloss is usually recommended for durability and weather resistance. A professional contractor will help you choose the best finish based on your use case and maintenance expectations.
Color psychology matters more than most people think—especially in commercial spaces:
Your commercial building painting project should take into account your brand, your audience, and the message you want to convey. Inconsistent or outdated colors can make your business look neglected—don’t underestimate the impact of a fresh palette.
In many municipalities, exterior commercial painting projects may require permits—especially if the building is in a historic zone, the color scheme is drastically changing, or scaffolding and equipment will block sidewalks or roads.
Check with your city’s building department or hire a painting contractor familiar with local regulations. At Integrity Painting, we ensure every project is up to code and compliant with local bylaws.
Before you sign any contracts, look for a team that offers:
