Des Plaines Commercial Buildings Have Their Own Challenges
Des Plaines has a mix of older strip malls, new office buildings and retail spaces along Golf Road and River Road. Each has different requirements for painting.
Older strip malls
Strip centers built in the 1970s and 80s often have metal fascia and siding that needs specialty paint. We use commercial grade products that hold up to weather.
Downtown Des Plaines storefronts
Historic storefronts on Lee Street and Miner Street require careful prep. We protect brick, wood and glass so the property keeps its character.
High traffic office buildings
Hallways and lobbies in Des Plaines office parks get daily wear. We use durable enamel that resists scuffs so you don't repaint every year.
We work around your schedule. Start at 6pm, finish by 6am. Work weekends and holidays. Your business never has to close for painting.

What Business Owners Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every commercial 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
Cheap paint in hallways and lobbies scuffs and marks up within months. Looks dirty even when it's clean.
Painters working during open hours get in the way and create dust and fumes that customers notice.
One coat over old paint always looks patchy. Walls need two coats, with primer where needed.
What you get
Commercial grade enamel in high traffic areas. Wipes clean and stays looking new for years.
After hours or weekends. Your customers never see the mess and never smell the paint.
Two coats, primer where needed, cut lines by hand. Every wall matches the next.
