Commercial painting has a different set of pressures to a house. The job has to fit around trading hours, staff and customers. Surfaces get more abuse, so the coatings need to be tougher. There is usually a facilities manager, landlord or body corporate who wants a clear scope, a fixed price and a finish date they can rely on. That is how we run these jobs.
We handle fit-outs and refurbishments for shops and offices, repaints of medical and allied health rooms, school and childcare maintenance painting in the holidays, warehouse and factory walls, line marking and safety colours, exterior repaints of commercial buildings, and common-area and facade work for unit blocks and body corporates. Real estate agencies and property managers use us for end-of-lease repaints on commercial tenancies too.
On a commercial job the prep and products change with the use of the space. Hard-wearing washable low-sheen for corridors and waiting rooms, anti-mould systems for kitchens and wet areas, epoxy or polyurethane on factory floors and loading docks, and exterior membranes on rendered facades. We can work nights and weekends, and we carry the insurances and site documentation your building requires; ask and we will supply them with the quote.

Local knowledge
Commercial Painting in Ballarat
Ballarat commercial work spans the heritage shopfronts on Sturt and Lydiard streets, where facade colours may need council heritage sign-off, through to the big-box retail and light industrial along Wendouree and Delacombe, the medical precinct around the hospitals, the university campus at Mount Helen, and the industrial estates out towards Sebastopol and Mitchell Park. Each has its own access and hours issues and we plan around them.
Regional Ballarat also means a lot of single-owner businesses rather than national chains. You will usually be dealing directly with us from the first visit to hand-over, which keeps decisions quick. For franchise fit-outs we work to the brand colour specification you supply.
Pricing
What it costs
Commercial jobs are priced on floor or wall area, ceiling height and access, the condition of the surfaces, the coating specification (standard washable acrylic versus epoxy, anti-graffiti or fire-retardant systems), whether the work is in or out of hours, staging requirements and any scaffold or elevated work platforms. After-hours and staged work costs more per square metre than clear-run daytime access but keeps you trading. Every quote is a fixed written price against a scope, free of charge.

FAQ
Commercial Painting questions
Can you paint our shop or office outside business hours?
Yes. Most of our retail, cafe, office and medical work is done evenings, weekends or in stages so you can keep trading. We use low-odour paints that are dry and safe for staff and customers by morning. The schedule and hours are agreed in writing before we start, and we stick to them.
Do you paint schools and childcare centres?
Yes. School and kinder repaints are usually booked into term holidays so the site is empty, and we use low-VOC paints throughout. We can supply the insurance and safety documentation your school or council requires, and we are used to working to a facilities manager's scope and sign-off process.
What coatings do you use on commercial walls and floors?
Occupied areas get a premium washable, scrubbable low-sheen acrylic so marks wipe off. Kitchens and wet areas get anti-mould systems. Factory floors, loading docks and line marking use epoxy or polyurethane. Facades use exterior membranes. If your building has a specification, we match it; if not, we recommend a system in the quote.
Can you handle body corporate and strata painting?
Yes. Common areas, stairwells, corridors, car parks, external facades and balconies for unit blocks and townhouse developments. We quote to the committee or strata manager, provide documentation, schedule around residents and notify them of the work. Exteriors on multi-storey buildings are quoted with the access equipment included.
How quickly can you start a commercial job?
Small jobs, such as a single tenancy or a waiting room, can often start within a couple of weeks. Larger staged jobs depend on our schedule and your access windows. Tell us your opening date or lease deadline on the quote form and we will tell you whether we can meet it.
