Offices, shops, tasting rooms and apartment buildings across Santa Rosa need painting that fits around the people using them. We walk the property, agree the scope and the timing with you and put the price in writing. Tell us your opening hours and we will plan around them where we can.
Commercial buildings in Santa Rosa are a mixed group. There are older brick and stone fronts in Railroad Square and along Fourth Street downtown, stucco shopping centers and offices, tilt-up concrete warehouses, medical suites, and apartment and condominium buildings in every part of the city. We paint interiors and exteriors for owners, property managers and tenants. The first step is always a walk of the property, so the quote is based on what the walls, doors and trim actually need.
Inside, the job is planned around the people who use the space. We agree which rooms are painted in what order, protect floors, desks and stock, and use low-odor paints where staff or customers will return soon. Outside, we wash, repair and caulk before painting, and we mark off entries and parking spaces while work is overhead. Doors, railings and metal get primers made for those surfaces. Tell us your opening hours and busy periods and we will discuss a schedule that fits them.
You receive a written scope listing areas, surfaces, preparation and coats, so that bids can be compared fairly. We are licensed and insured, and can provide proof of insurance for your landlord or manager on request. Buildings in a preservation district, and storefronts with a landlord's design rules, may need color approval before work starts. For apartments, ask us about painting between tenants. A unit built before 1978 calls for lead-safe methods when old paint is disturbed.
Commercial painting in Santa Rosa: common questions
Can my shop stay open while you paint?
Often, yes. We can divide the work into sections and keep the entrance and main aisle clear. Whether a given job can be done around your trading hours depends on its size, so raise it at the walk-through.
Do I need approval to repaint a storefront downtown or in Railroad Square?
You may. Parts of central Santa Rosa are preservation districts, and many leases give the landlord a say over exterior colors. Ask the city's planning staff and your landlord before you settle on a scheme.
Do you paint apartment units when a tenant moves out?
Yes. Give us the unit size, the current color and the date the next tenant arrives. Keeping the same color and sheen across a building makes each turnover faster, since walls can be touched up or given one fresh coat.
