Coatings That Hold Up Under Daily Use

Complete commercial painting for offices, retail, and multifamily buildings in San Francisco

Your commercial building in San Francisco endures constant use from tenants, customers, and maintenance crews that leave walls scuffed, trim chipped, and exteriors streaked from weather exposure. Faded storefronts and worn hallways affect how your property is perceived and may reduce tenant retention or customer confidence. mg simms painting and decorating provides commercial painting services for offices, retail spaces, apartment buildings, and mixed-use facilities throughout San Francisco with a focus on durability, scheduling flexibility, and clean execution.

The work includes surface preparation, priming, and application of high-performance coatings designed to resist scuffs, moisture, and repeated cleaning. Exterior projects account for Bay Area conditions including fog, salt air, and UV exposure by using products that maintain color and adhesion over time. Interior painting addresses high-traffic areas like lobbies, corridors, and common spaces where finishes must tolerate daily wear without showing damage.

Work Planned Around Your Building's Schedule

mg simms painting and decorating coordinates with property managers in San Francisco to schedule work during off-hours, weekends, or planned vacancies to avoid disrupting tenants or limiting access to customers. Crews protect flooring, fixtures, and furnishings with drop cloths and masking, then apply coatings using brushes, rollers, and airless sprayers selected for efficiency and finish quality.

After the project is finished, you will see consistent color across all painted areas, smooth surfaces free of drips or roller marks, and coatings that stand up to cleaning without losing sheen or coverage. Hallways and lobbies look refreshed, exterior walls resist staining from rain and pollution, and painted trim maintains sharp edges even in areas with frequent contact.

The service includes surface prep, masking, coating application, and complete site cleanup with removal of all protective materials. It does not include structural repairs, window replacement, or major surface alterations, though minor patching and carpentry touch-ups are handled as part of standard prep. Commercial painting supports long-term maintenance goals and helps property owners meet aesthetic standards without extending vacancy periods.

Questions Property Managers and Owners Ask

Property managers and building owners often want to know how long projects take, what coatings perform best in San Francisco conditions, and how work can be completed without limiting building access.

What type of paint is used for commercial interiors?
You receive low-sheen or satin finishes formulated for high-traffic areas, offering resistance to scuffs, moisture, and frequent cleaning. Hallways, stairwells, and common areas are coated with products that maintain appearance under daily use.
How long does a commercial painting project take?
Timelines depend on square footage, surface condition, and access limitations. A typical office suite may take two to four days, while a full apartment building or retail center may require one to three weeks with work staged to minimize disruption.
When is the best time to schedule commercial painting in San Francisco?
You should plan exterior work during dry months and interior projects around tenant move-outs, holidays, or low-traffic periods. Coordination with building operations ensures minimal impact on daily activities.
What preparation is included before painting begins?
Surfaces are cleaned, patched, sanded, and primed as needed. Loose paint is scraped, cracks are filled, and protection is installed over floors and fixtures before coatings are applied.
Why does exterior paint on San Francisco commercial buildings require specific products?
Buildings face coastal moisture, salt air, and urban pollution that accelerate coating breakdown. Products designed for these conditions resist water penetration, UV fading, and surface chalking, extending the time between repaints.
