Hear from Our Customers
Your building’s exterior is working 24/7—either for you or against you. When potential customers drive by, they’re making split-second decisions about whether your business looks trustworthy, professional, and worth their time.
Fresh commercial exterior painting doesn’t just make your building look better. It tells customers you care about details, you maintain your property, and you’re serious about your business. That translates directly to more foot traffic, better customer perception, and higher property values.
In South Lyon’s competitive market, businesses that invest in professional appearances consistently outperform those that don’t. Your exterior paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to stand out and signal quality to everyone who sees your building.
We’ve been handling commercial exterior painting projects across South Lyon for over a decade. We understand what Michigan weather does to commercial buildings—and more importantly, how to protect against it.
We’re not the biggest painting company in South Lyon, and that’s intentional. We’re two brothers who’ve built our reputation on doing quality work at fair prices, project after project. Our goal isn’t just to paint your building; it’s to make sure you’re satisfied enough to call us again when you need work done.
South Lyon businesses choose us because we show up when we say we will, do the work right the first time, and price our services competitively. We’ve seen too many commercial properties get damaged by poor paint jobs, and we’re committed to making sure that doesn’t happen to yours.
We start with a thorough assessment of your building’s current condition and your specific needs. This isn’t a quick walk-around—we examine surface preparation requirements, identify any repairs needed, and discuss timing that works with your business operations.
Next, we provide a detailed commercial painting estimate that breaks down exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden costs. We’ll explain our surface preparation process, the paint systems we recommend for your specific building materials, and realistic timelines for completion.
During the project, we work around your business schedule as much as possible. We understand that disruption costs you money, so we plan our work phases to minimize impact on your operations. Clean-up happens daily, and we keep you informed throughout the entire process so you always know what’s happening and when.

Every commercial exterior painting project starts with comprehensive surface preparation. We power wash, scrape, sand, and prime as needed because paint is only as good as what’s underneath it. For South Lyon’s climate, this preparation phase is critical—shortcuts here mean early paint failure.
We use commercial-grade paints specifically designed for Michigan weather conditions. These aren’t the same paints you’d use on a house. Commercial buildings need coatings that can handle temperature swings, UV exposure, and moisture without failing prematurely.
Our service includes minor repairs like caulking, wood replacement, and surface patching. We also handle different building materials—whether your property has metal siding, stucco, brick, or mixed surfaces. South Lyon’s diverse commercial architecture requires contractors who understand how different materials behave and what each needs for long-term protection.
Most commercial exterior painting projects in South Lyon take 3-7 business days, depending on building size and surface conditions. Weather is always a factor—we won’t paint in rain, extreme cold, or high winds because it compromises the finish quality.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your business operations. For retail spaces, we often work early mornings or coordinate around your busiest customer hours. Office buildings typically have more flexibility, but we still plan phases carefully to avoid impacting your team’s productivity.
The timeline also depends on surface preparation needs. Buildings that haven’t been painted in several years require more prep work, which extends the schedule but ensures better long-term results. We’d rather take an extra day to do proper preparation than rush and have paint failure within a few years.
Commercial exterior painting costs in South Lyon typically range from $3-8 per square foot, depending on surface conditions, building height, and paint quality requirements. A typical small retail space might cost $8,000-15,000, while larger office buildings can range $20,000-40,000 or more.
Several factors affect pricing: surface preparation needs, building accessibility, paint grade selection, and project timing. Buildings with extensive prep work or difficult access points cost more. However, investing in proper preparation and quality materials saves money long-term by extending the time between repaints.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs—labor, materials, preparation work, and any additional services needed. No hidden fees or surprise charges. Our goal is competitive pricing for quality work that lasts, not the cheapest bid that fails in two years.
We plan every commercial painting project around your business needs first. Before starting, we discuss your operational requirements, customer traffic patterns, and any special scheduling needs you have.
For retail businesses, we typically work early mornings before you open or coordinate specific areas during slower periods. We use containment systems to control dust and overspray, and we always maintain clear, safe customer access to your entrances.
Office buildings usually have more scheduling flexibility, but we still minimize disruption. We can work section by section, coordinate with building management, and adjust our schedule for important meetings or events. Communication is key—we keep you informed about daily progress and any schedule adjustments needed due to weather or unexpected conditions.
We use premium commercial-grade acrylic paints specifically formulated for Michigan’s challenging weather conditions. These paints resist UV damage, temperature fluctuations, moisture penetration, and the freeze-thaw cycles that destroy inferior coatings.
For metal surfaces, we use specialized primers and topcoats that prevent corrosion and provide superior adhesion. Masonry and stucco get different paint systems designed for those specific substrates. We don’t use one-size-fits-all solutions because different building materials have different protection requirements.
Paint selection also considers your building’s exposure, color requirements, and maintenance preferences. High-traffic areas get more durable finishes, while protected areas might use different formulations. We explain these choices during our estimate process so you understand exactly what you’re getting and why we recommend specific products for your building.
Yes, we warranty our commercial exterior painting workmanship and stand behind the quality of our work. Our warranty covers paint adhesion, coverage, and application issues—basically anything that results from poor workmanship rather than normal wear or building maintenance issues.
The warranty length depends on paint grade and surface conditions, but typically ranges from 2-5 years for workmanship issues. We also help you understand manufacturer warranties on the paint products themselves, which can extend much longer for premium coatings.
More importantly, we’ve been serving South Lyon businesses for over ten years, and we’re not going anywhere. If issues arise, we address them promptly because our reputation depends on customer satisfaction. We want you to call us for your next project, which only happens if we take care of problems when they occur.
We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping, parking areas, and adjacent properties during commercial painting projects. This includes covering plants, using drop cloths on walkways, and containing overspray with plastic sheeting and masking.
For businesses with customer parking, we coordinate to minimize impact on available spaces and always maintain safe, clean access routes. We clean up daily rather than waiting until project completion, so your property stays presentable throughout the work process.
If accidental damage occurs despite our precautions, we take responsibility and make it right immediately. We carry insurance specifically for this purpose, but more importantly, we take preventive measures seriously because avoiding problems is better than fixing them after the fact. Your business reputation matters to us because it directly affects our own reputation in the South Lyon community.
