Commercial Exterior Painting

It depends on the size of the building, the surfaces, how much repair and prep they need, access (lifts or scaffolding) and whether work has to happen after hours. For a quick starting number, use our commercial ballpark tool, then book a free walkthrough for an exact written quote.

It depends on square footage, how much preparation is needed, the weather and your operating requirements. A small storefront can often be finished in a few days, while large buildings and multi-building sites can take several weeks. We give you a detailed timeline with your quote.

Repainting your commercial building’s exterior offers three key benefits that directly impact your bottom line. First, it acts as a protective barrier against 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 shows you take pride in your business.

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

Most commercial buildings need exterior repainting every 7 to 10 years, although this varies. Buildings with wood or metal siding typically need more frequent maintenance than those with brick or stucco. Intense sun, heavy rain and big temperature swings can shorten that window.

High-traffic areas around entrances, loading docks and parking structures often show wear sooner and may need touch-ups every 3 to 5 years. The quality of the previous paint job matters too: professional prep and commercial-grade primers and paints last much longer than budget alternatives.

At Indiana Painting, we recommend an annual look at your exterior to catch minor issues before they become costly repairs. Signs it’s time to repaint include fading, chalking, peeling and visible wear around trim and corners.

We use Sherwin-Williams commercial-grade coatings matched to each surface: SuperPaint, Duration and Emerald Exterior for wood, siding and trim, Loxon primers and masonry coatings for brick and block, and Pro Industrial DTM Acrylic for metal. For special cases we also use Romabio Masonry products on brick and PPG Aqua-Pel to seal concrete.

On most Indiana masonry we recommend a breathable masonry coating instead of elastomeric, because elastomeric can trap moisture and turn brittle in our freeze-thaw winters. See our commercial paint products guide for more detail.

Absolutely. Indiana Painting backs every commercial exterior with a written 7-year warranty that includes touch-ups. We’re that confident in our preparation, our crews and the Sherwin-Williams coatings we use.

The warranty covers our workmanship and the coatings we apply, so your building keeps looking professional and well maintained for years to come.

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.
