Commercial

lot of commercial painting is “blow and go” painting, which is not something we do. It is too ingrained in our DNA that all jobs must be done right and must be durable.

We have painted many commercial projects over the years, The Ferrari building in Mill Valley, the Strawberry Condominiums complex, Village Circle in Novato, Bothin Youth Center inside and out, including all the floors. These are just a few of the hundreds of commercial projects that Fine Line Painting has done over the years.

Waterproofing a concrete or stucco building takes prep work to close up all gaps and prepare the building for high end terpolymer materials that go on at ten mills thick per coat. Terpolmer is made only for concrete or stucco building and, when painted right, will last twenty years most manufacturers give a ten year guarantee that comes in writing.

How you want your building to look is up to you the owner, but please remember that most times it is someone else that has to live in or work in the building. In this economy a quality paint job can make the difference between your property being leased quickly or sitting empty.

Large condo complexes or apartment buildings have a whole new set of issues that have to be dealt with. A complex with two hundred units also has two hundred back yards, more than two hundred cars ports, four hundred doors, and two hundred storage units. Every back yard has furniture, barbeques, wind chimes, plants and floor mats. This alone is hard enough, but also getting everyone’s cars moved ahead of you and getting all the doors open to be painted is nothing short of a miracle.

It all comes down to logistics and planning, notifying tenants, and taking time to knock on doors. This all has to be done with a light hand and care; each person that you deal with has a completely different set of circumstances that has to be overcome. Truthfully, the paint job is easier than dealing with the logistics of all the different owners or tenants. It takes years to learn all the ins and outs of this part and we have become very good at it. There is nothing we haven’t seen or haven’t had to go through over the last thirty years. Only years of experience can teach what it takes to make everyone happy.

We truly enjoy commercial work and believe that we at Fine Line Painting are good at doing this kind of work. We may not be your absolute cheapest bid but we know that we will be the best price for the work we do, we provide by far the best value for you money.
