Forest Park Commercial Buildings Have Their Own Needs
Forest Park's commercial district runs along Madison Street and Harlem Avenue, with a mix of old and new buildings. We know the building codes and the foot traffic patterns.
Madison Street storefronts
Retail spaces along Madison have high foot traffic and older storefronts. We paint at night or on Sundays so your shop stays open during the week.
Pre-war commercial brick
Many commercial buildings in Forest Park have old brick with soft mortar. We use breathable paint and masonry primer on exterior walls.
Apartment building turnovers
Two-flats and apartment buildings near the Blue Line need fast unit painting between tenants. We work on tight schedules.
Commercial work often requires after-hours scheduling. We have the flexibility to paint around your business hours, not the other way around.
How We Paint Commercial Spaces in Forest Park
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a storefront or a full building.
Walk and measure
We check the space, look at wall condition, and write the price down before we leave.
Schedule after-hours
We plan the schedule around your business hours, nights or weekends.
Protect the space
Furniture to the center, floors sheeted, shelves covered.
Patch and sand
Holes filled, cracks bridged, rough spots sanded flat.
Prime problems
Stains, grease and smoke spots get primer first.
Paint ceilings and walls
Ceilings first, then walls, top down for clean lines.
Second coat
Full second coat once the first has dried. Even color.
Walkthrough and cleanup
Furniture back, floors cleared, walk it with you.
The Commercial Work Forest Park Calls Us For
Most calls fall into one of three buckets. Same crew and same prep standard on all of them, different scope.

Madison Street shops, boutiques, and restaurants. See exterior painting for the outside.

Dental offices, medical clinics, law firms and corporate offices.
Apartment buildings

A Commercial Crew From Ten Minutes Away
Our shop is at 541 Winston Dr in Melrose Park. Forest Park is a short run down Harlem, which is why we can usually get out for a commercial estimate the same week you call. The person who prices your job is the person you'll see on the ladders.
We work the near west suburbs every day and we know these buildings. Same crew, same prep, same price sheet whether you're on Madison Street or by the Blue Line. If you need a touch-up two weeks later, we're close enough to swing back.
Commercial work often includes other services. Plenty of Forest Park businesses add brick painting or siding painting once we're already booked in.

What Business Owners Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the space looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Commercial spaces take more abuse than homes. Cheap paint in hallways and waiting rooms scuffs and peels fast.
Painting crews that only work 9-5 force you to close or work around ladders all week.
Restaurant and kitchen walls have grease that regular paint won't cover or seal.
What you get
We use high-traffic paint that wipes clean and stands up to customers and employees.
We paint at night and on weekends so your business stays open during the week.
Kitchen walls degreased and primed with stain-blocker before the topcoat goes on.
True on every Forest Park commercial job we take:

What Forest Park Business Owners Say After the Last Coat
