Commercial Exterior Painting FAQs

Yes, we can successfully remove stains from both EIFS and limestone surfaces. Our experienced crew uses specialized mild detergents, including boric acid and Simple Green, which are specifically chosen for their effectiveness on delicate materials.

We understand that these surfaces require careful handling, so our team applies the right amount of pressure and technique to achieve excellent cleaning results without causing any damage. You can trust us to restore your surfaces while preserving their integrity.

Pressure washing won’t harm paint that’s in good condition. However, if your paint has already begun to deteriorate, pressure washing may accelerate the peeling or chipping process.

While this might sound concerning, it’s actually beneficial to discover paint issues early. Finding out about deteriorating paint now gives you the opportunity to address the problem on your timeline, rather than being forced into emergency repairs when the damage becomes severe.

Think of pressure washing as a diagnostic tool—it reveals the true condition of your property’s exterior so you can make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs.

No, our pressure washing process won’t damage healthy concrete or asphalt. We use specialized rotary pressure tools and water brooms that operate at safe, controlled pressure levels specifically designed for these surfaces.

However, if your concrete shows damage after cleaning, this indicates pre-existing deterioration that was already occurring beneath the surface. Think of it like washing a car with existing rust—the cleaning doesn’t cause the problem, it simply reveals what was already there.

The key to preventing damage? Regular maintenance. Concrete should be professionally cleaned and sealed every 4-5 years. Without this routine care, minor spalling (surface flaking) often begins developing unnoticed. Pressure washing may expose this existing damage, but it doesn’t create it.

If you’re concerned about the condition of your concrete, we’re happy to assess it before beginning any cleaning work.

We recommend siloxane-based sealers like PPG Aqua-Pel for concrete sidewalks and parking lots. Unlike topical sealers that sit on the surface, siloxane-based products penetrate deep into the concrete’s pores. This creates a barrier that prevents water absorption and protects against freeze-thaw damage while maintaining the concrete’s natural appearance.

This type of sealer is particularly effective for horizontal surfaces that experience heavy foot traffic and weather exposure.

Repainting your commercial building’s exterior offers three key benefits that directly impact your bottom line. First, it acts as a protective barrier against harsh weather conditions like rain, snow, and UV rays, preventing costly damage to your building’s structure. Second, quality exterior paint extends the lifespan of your siding, brick, or other materials, saving you from expensive repairs down the road. Finally, a professionally painted building creates a strong first impression that attracts customers and communicates that you take pride in your business.

At Indiana Painting Company, we’ve seen firsthand how a fresh exterior paint job can transform not just the appearance of a building, but also its owner’s confidence in their business presence.

Most commercial buildings require exterior repainting every 7–10 years, although this timeline varies depending on several factors. Buildings with wood or metal siding typically require more frequent maintenance than those with brick or stucco exteriors. Harsh weather conditions—such as intense sun exposure, heavy rainfall, or extreme temperature fluctuations—can significantly shorten this window.

High-traffic areas around entrances, loading docks, and parking structures often show wear sooner and may need touch-ups every 3–5 years. The quality of your previous paint job also plays a crucial role: professional-grade primers and paints can significantly extend the life of your exterior compared to budget alternatives.

At Indiana Painting Company, we recommend annual inspections to catch minor issues before they become costly repairs. Signs it’s time to repaint include fading colors, chalking, peeling, or visible wear around trim and corners.

Built for Indiana weather

Commercial Exteriors That Stand Up to Indiana Weather

Paint is part of your building’s envelope. It sheds water and protects wood, EIFS, masonry and metal from freeze-thaw cycles, summer UV and driving rain. When it fails, the substrate underneath starts to deteriorate, so the sooner a peeling exterior is addressed, the less it costs to fix.

Why we usually skip elastomeric

Elastomeric coatings work well in warm, wet climates without a freeze-thaw cycle. Here in Indiana we see them fail too often: they act as a vapor barrier that traps moisture in the wall and become brittle in our cold winters. For most commercial masonry we recommend a high-build masonry coating that breathes.

Masonry, metal, wood and storefronts

For the 17,000 sq ft Sutton Garten building in Indianapolis, we repaired spalling block and crumbling mortar before repainting the masonry exterior. We repaired and repainted a damaged Pottery Barn sign band, stained Cava’s cedar canopy and cleaned the exterior of the 24,500 sq ft Mooresville Public Library.

Historic and civic buildings

We restored the exterior of Mooresville Town Hall ahead of the town’s 2024 bicentennial, painted Monrovia’s first town hall in the restored former Methodist church, and painted Plainfield’s historic Prewitt Theater. Every commercial exterior we paint is backed by our 7-year warranty.

Preparation that makes paint last

Exterior paint is only as good as what’s under it. We pressure wash, scrape failing paint, caulk joints and prime bare wood and other substrates before the finish coats go on, and we repair rot, cracks and damaged masonry first. With good prep and a better-grade exterior paint, a commercial building should see about 10 years of service from a paint job.

When to paint your building’s exterior

Spring and fall are ideal in Indiana. Winter temperatures swing too widely, and peak summer heat can make paint dry too fast, leaving uneven color and sheen and a weaker bond. We’ll help you pick the right window for your project and schedule it early.
