Consistent Coatings Built for Daily Use

Professional interior and exterior painting for commercial properties in San Francisco

Your commercial property in San Francisco faces coastal fog, sun exposure, and constant foot traffic that show up as peeling paint, faded storefronts, and scuffed hallways. Whether you manage office buildings, retail spaces, or apartment complexes, the right coating protects your investment and keeps your property looking presentable. mg simms painting and decorating works around your operating hours to complete interior and exterior painting with minimal disruption to tenants and customers.

The work begins with thorough surface prep including scraping loose material, patching cracks, and priming bare areas before applying durable finishes designed for high-traffic environments. Exterior projects account for San Francisco weather patterns by using coatings that resist moisture intrusion and UV degradation. Interior painting focuses on uniform coverage, clean edges, and protective barriers in areas like lobbies, stairwells, and common spaces that endure constant use.

Scheduling and Coatings Matched to Your Operations

mg simms painting and decorating coordinates painting schedules around tenant move-ins, store hours, and building operations in San Francisco to avoid workflow interruptions. Crews protect floors, fixtures, and furnishings with drop cloths and plastic sheeting, then apply primer and finish coats using rollers, brushes, and sprayers suited to the surface type and square footage.

After completion, you will see consistent color across all painted surfaces, smooth finishes free of drips or missed spots, and coatings that hold up under regular cleaning and wear. Hallways stay cleaner longer, exterior walls resist water staining, and painted trim maintains sharp lines even in areas with frequent contact.

The service includes site cleanup, removal of masking materials, and a final walkthrough to confirm the work meets your standards. It does not include structural repairs or window replacement, though light surface corrections are handled as part of prep. Clean job sites and reliable timelines support property managers who need work completed without extending vacancy periods or limiting access.

Questions That Come Up Before the First Brushstroke

Commercial clients often want to know how the work fits into their schedules, what kind of coatings hold up in Bay Area conditions, and how long painted surfaces will perform before needing attention again.

What type of coating is used for high-traffic commercial interiors?
You receive low-sheen or satin finishes with higher resistance to scuffs, moisture, and repeated cleaning. These coatings are applied in two or more coats depending on the substrate and existing color.
How long does exterior paint last on a San Francisco commercial building?
Properly prepped and coated exteriors typically last five to eight years before showing significant wear, though coastal exposure and sun-facing walls may require touch-ups sooner. Regular maintenance extends the cycle.
When can painting be scheduled to avoid disrupting tenants or customers?
You can schedule work during evenings, weekends, or planned closures. mg simms painting and decorating works with property managers to identify windows that minimize impact on daily operations.
What preparation is needed before painting begins?
Surfaces are scraped, patched, sanded, and primed as needed. You should clear wall-mounted items and provide access to electrical panels if interior spaces require lighting adjustments during the work.
Why does commercial painting require different materials than residential work?
Commercial environments demand coatings that tolerate frequent cleaning, higher humidity, and impact from carts, furniture, and foot traffic. The products used are formulated for durability rather than aesthetics alone.
