Commercial Painting in Daytona Beach

What Kinds of Commercial Property Do You Paint?

The condo job is the one worth describing. Fifteen floors of interior work, $187,000, finished in two months with four painters on it. We are comfortable anywhere from a single suite up to that, and the sweet spot is work north of $30,000. Nothing is too big. We put more painters on when a job calls for it.

Inside or outside. Plenty of commercial calls are exterior repaints driven by how the building looks from the road, but we do just as much interior work: corridors, suites between tenants, restrooms, break rooms and stairwells.

How Do You Work Around a Building That Is Still in Use?

We work in sections and seal them off. For dust and fumes that means building temporary plastic walls with ventilation and fans running, so the half of the floor still being used stays usable. One section finishes, it opens back up, we move to the next.

Most of this happens during normal hours, which keeps your cost down. Nights and weekends are available when the job genuinely cannot happen any other way, and they carry a premium, because paying a crew to work at ten at night costs more. We just finished a medical office that way. It was the only window the practice had, they knew the premium going in, and the work got done without closing them for a day.

Tell us your hours and your quiet periods at the walkthrough. That changes the bid, so it is better said up front than discovered later.

Who Have You Painted for Around Here?

The Horizons, the 15 story condo in Daytona Beach. We painted the full interior for $187,000, finished in about two and a half months with four painters on it. Stuart Marchman's outpatient facility in DeLand took roughly the same, and it is still one of Robert's favorite jobs on the list.

Also OBGYN of Daytona, which could only be painted nights and weekends because that was the only window the practice had. The Salvation Army in Daytona Beach. Ogano's Pizza in South Daytona. Extreme Concrete in New Smyrna Beach. Bennett Auto.

Do You Handle Industrial Work?

Yes. Warehouses, metal buildings, structural steel and the protective coatings that go over them, plus epoxy floors for spaces that take forklift traffic and spills. Safety striping goes down at the same time as the floor.

A working plant gets the same sectioned treatment as an occupied office, so production keeps moving around us. Surfaces get prepared to whatever the coating requires. An industrial coating put over a surface that was not ready is an expensive way to buy a failure in two years.

How High Can You Go, and What About Waterproofing?

We rent the lift the job needs rather than forcing a building to fit the equipment we happen to own. Scissor lift, boom, whatever reaches. On a tower too tall for a lift, swing stage gets priced into the bid and rigged properly before anyone goes over the side.

Elastomeric and waterproofing coatings are a regular part of our beachside condo work. On a concrete building taking salt spray and wind driven rain, a standard exterior coat is the wrong answer, and the board that bought one usually finds out three years later. If your building is on the water, say so at the walkthrough.

How Does the Bid Process Work?

We walk the property with you, measure, and note the condition of every surface. Stucco with hairline cracks, wood trim with rot, metal railings with rust and previously coated block all need different prep, and prep is where a commercial bid is won or lost.

You get a written bid broken out by area or by building, not one number for the whole property. That matters when you take it to an owner or a board, and it lets you defer a section without asking for a new price.

The bid names the products, the number of coats, the prep included and what is excluded, and the workmanship warranty terms are written into it. If we find something after we pressure wash a surface or open a soffit, we come back to you before doing the extra work, not after. You can see finished jobs on our work page.

Who Will Actually Be on Site?

Color Masters is a local crew based in South Daytona. Robert prices the work, he is on site for it, and he is the one who answers the phone, so you deal with the same people from the walkthrough to the final check.

When something needs a decision at seven in the morning there is one number to call, and the person who picks up can make it.
