Repaints and direct-to-owner work
This is what we do most, and it's what we do best. Direct-to-owner repaint work means you contract with us directly - no general contractor sitting in the middle, no GC markup on the invoice, and a faster line of communication when something needs to happen on your property.
- Lobby and amenity space refreshes
- Corridor and common area repaints
- Suite turns between tenants
- Exterior recoats and refresh programs
- Warehouse and tilt-wall exteriors
- Capital refresh projects across single buildings or full portfolios
- Master service agreements (MSAs) for recurring work
We work in every kind of occupied commercial space - office towers, medical facilities, retail centers, multifamily communities, schools, warehouses, and hospitality properties. We schedule around your tenants, not the other way around. That means after-hours work, weekend rollouts, phased schedules, and crews trained to keep noise, dust, and disruption to a minimum.

Tenant improvements
TI work runs on a different clock. Days and weeks, not months. Multiple trades stacked on top of each other. A landlord, a tenant, and a GC all watching the calendar.
We've spent decades getting good at this rhythm. Here's what working with us on a TI looks like:
- Clean coordination with millwork, flooring, ceilings, and MEP trades
- Work sequenced to keep the overall schedule moving
- Crew capacity that ramps up when the deadline compresses
- Finish quality that holds up to inspection on day one and year five
- After-hours and weekend work when the job calls for it
Whether it's a single suite or a full floor buildout, we treat your TI like the schedule-critical project it is.

New construction
We've spent decades as a trade partner on commercial new construction projects across Texas. That's a long enough track record to have seen most of what comes up on a jobsite - and to know how to handle it without slowing the project down.
We coordinate cleanly with other trades, work to the schedule the GC sets, and take the finish work seriously. New construction is the GC's first impression of the building - the paint and wall finishes are a big part of how that lands - and we approach it that way on every project.
We work alongside regional general contractors on ground-up commercial projects across office, healthcare, retail, multifamily, education, industrial, and hospitality builds.

Wallcoverings
Wallcovering is in our name for a reason. It's a specialty many commercial painters avoid entirely, and we've made it part of our core work for decades.
We install all three commercial vinyl wallcovering types:
- Type I for light-duty applications in offices and low-traffic spaces
- Type II for the medium-duty applications you'll find in most commercial settings - healthcare corridors, hospitality, education, and high-traffic common areas
- Type III for heavy-duty applications where durability and abrasion resistance matter most
We also handle accent wall installations for offices, lobbies, and amenity spaces where a specific look is part of the design.
Wallcovering is part craft, part patience. The seams have to disappear. The pattern has to align. The finish has to hold up for years of wear.

What we paint
If it's part of a commercial facility, we can paint it. The surfaces and substrates we work on every day include:
- Drywall - walls and ceilings
- Doors and door frames
- Exposed structural metal
- Wood siding and trim
- Concrete - interior and exterior
- Warehouse and tilt-wall exteriors
- Stucco and masonry exteriors
Every project gets a custom proposal based on the actual scope, surfaces, and conditions. There's no one-size-fits-all paint job for commercial work - and we don't pretend there is.
Our warranty
Every commercial painting project we complete comes with a standard one-year warranty. If something isn't right, we'll come back and make it right. No back-and-forth, no fine print.
