Commercial Painting
Scheduled around your business hours, not ours.
Commercial painting is quoted per project, because coating specifications, access hours, occupancy, and warranty requirements move these prices further than any square-foot rate can account for. Apartment and rental unit turns are quoted per unit instead, because the number that actually matters there is days-to-ready. Olmos Painting carries general liability and workers' compensation on every crew, and we schedule nights and weekends as standard practice rather than as an upcharge negotiation.
- Timeline
- A single suite is one to two nights. A 10,000 square foot office is typically two to three weeks of overnight work. Rental turns are two to three days per unit.
Commercial work is a scheduling problem wearing a painting problem's clothes. The coating is rarely the hard part. The hard part is getting a 12,000 square foot office repainted without a single employee arriving Monday to find their desk under plastic and their monitor moved.
So we plan backwards from your operating hours. Zones, not floors. Work performed between 6 PM and 5 AM, with each zone fully restored before the first person badges in. Low-odor, low-VOC coatings as the default in occupied buildings, because a beautiful finish that makes the accounting department leave at noon has not solved anything.
We work steadily with property managers on rental turns, where the metric that matters is days-to-ready, not price per square foot. A unit that we can turn in two days instead of five is worth more than a lower bid, and we price and staff accordingly.
Scope
Every kind of commercial work we take on.
Office Repaints
Corridors, suites, conference rooms, and common areas, sequenced so no team loses a working day.
Retail and Restaurant
Overnight turnarounds between close and open, including tight-window refreshes before a seasonal reset.
Multi-Unit and Apartments
Turn painting priced per unit, with a committed schedule your leasing calendar can actually rely on.
Property Management Contracts
Ongoing repaint programs across a portfolio, with one point of contact and consistent color specs building to building.
Warehouse and Light Industrial
High-bay walls, safety striping, dock areas, and structural steel, coated on a schedule that keeps the floor working.
Common Areas and Corridors
Condo and apartment common spaces painted around resident traffic, with wayfinding kept intact throughout.
How we work
Step by step, no surprises.
You will know what is happening in your house on every one of these days before the first one starts.
- 01
Walkthrough and scope
We walk the space with your facilities contact, map the zones, and identify what has to stay operational at every hour of the project.
- 02
Written proposal with a schedule
The price and the calendar arrive together. A commercial bid without dates attached is not a bid, it is a number.
- 03
Insurance and compliance
Certificates issued to your entity, badge and access requirements handled, site safety documentation in place before day one.
- 04
Zone execution
One zone at a time, protected at start, restored at end. Nothing is left staged into business hours.
- 05
Nightly restoration
Furniture back, floors clear, air cleared. Your team arrives to a working space every single morning.
- 06
Sign-off by zone
Each zone is walked and signed off as it completes, so punch-list items are resolved while the crew is still in the building.

How much does commercial painting cost in Madison?
It is quoted per project rather than off a square-foot rate, because coating specification, access hours, occupancy, and warranty requirements move commercial pricing further than any rate can account for. Rental unit turns are quoted per unit instead, because the number that matters there is days-to-ready. The owner handles these personally.
Can you work nights and weekends?
Yes, and it is our default for occupied commercial space rather than a premium we negotiate. Most of our commercial work happens between 6 PM and 5 AM with each zone fully restored before your team arrives.
Are you insured for commercial work?
Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation on every crew member and issue certificates of insurance directly to your property manager or entity before work begins.
Do you handle multi-building property management contracts?
Yes. We run ongoing repaint programs across portfolios with one point of contact and a documented color spec so building four matches building one three years later.
How fast can you turn a rental unit?
A standard one or two bedroom unit is two to three days including patching, and we commit to that date in writing. If your leasing calendar needs faster, tell us the date and we will tell you honestly whether we can hold it.
