Clawson’s business community is tight-knit, and reputation matters here. We’ve seen the downtown revitalization, the new mixed-use developments, and the challenges older commercial buildings face.

We’re not the biggest painting company in Oakland County, but that’s our advantage. Every project gets personal attention because our growth depends on your satisfaction and referrals within Clawson’s business community.
We start with a detailed assessment of your commercial property’s current condition and your business requirements. This includes evaluating surface materials, identifying preparation needs, and understanding your operational schedule to minimize disruption.
Surface preparation is where paint jobs succeed or fail. We handle power washing, scraping, filling, priming, and any minor repairs needed for proper paint adhesion. This isn’t the glamorous part, but it’s what makes the difference between a paint job that lasts two years versus ten years in Michigan’s climate.
Application uses premium materials specifically chosen for commercial properties in Michigan. We coordinate timing around your business operations—early mornings, evenings, or weekends when it makes sense. Daily cleanup keeps your property presentable, and you see measurable progress every day until completion.

Your commercial exterior painting project includes comprehensive surface preparation, premium primer application, and two coats of weather-resistant paint formulated for Michigan’s harsh climate conditions. We use materials that expand and contract with temperature changes without cracking or peeling.
All necessary equipment is included—ladders, scaffolding, protective coverings for landscaping and customer walkways. We work around your business schedule, often completing projects during off-peak hours to maintain normal operations and customer access.
Clawson’s commercial buildings range from historic brick structures downtown to newer concrete and steel construction along major corridors. Each material requires specific preparation and paint systems. Older buildings might need specialized primers for adhesion, while newer construction often demands attention to architectural details and trim work. We adjust our approach based on your building’s specific materials, age, and exposure conditions to deliver results that enhance your business image and protect your investment.
Commercial exterior painting in Clawson typically costs $2 to $6 per square foot, with most projects ranging from $8,000 to $18,000 for standard-sized commercial buildings. The final cost depends on your building’s size, surface materials, and current condition.
Factors affecting pricing include surface preparation requirements, paint quality selection, and any special scheduling needs like off-hours work. Buildings with extensive masonry, metal, or architectural details require specialized materials and techniques that influence cost. We provide detailed estimates that break down labor, materials, and additional services so you understand exactly what you’re investing in and why each component matters for long-term results.
High-quality acrylic latex paints with enhanced durability features perform best in Michigan’s extreme climate conditions. These paints flex with temperature changes, resist moisture penetration, and maintain color stability through harsh UV exposure during summer months.
For Clawson commercial properties, we recommend paints with superior adhesion properties, mildew resistance, and fade protection. The specific formulation depends on your building materials—brick, concrete, wood, and metal surfaces each have optimal paint systems. Premium paints cost more initially but last significantly longer, reducing repainting frequency and providing better long-term value than budget alternatives that fail within a few years.
Most commercial exterior painting projects in Clawson take 3 to 7 business days, depending on building size, surface condition, and weather cooperation. Smaller retail spaces might be completed in 2-3 days, while larger office buildings or properties requiring extensive preparation can take up to two weeks.
Michigan weather significantly impacts scheduling. We need dry conditions with temperatures between 50-90°F for proper paint application and curing. Spring and fall often provide the most reliable weather windows, though summer projects are possible with careful timing. We monitor weather forecasts closely and communicate any necessary schedule adjustments immediately, working with your business needs to minimize operational disruption throughout the project.
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate commercial exterior painting projects around business operations, often working early mornings, evenings, or weekends to minimize customer and employee disruption. Most painting work can be scheduled during off-peak hours.
We understand that maintaining normal business flow is critical for retail spaces, professional offices, and service businesses in Clawson’s competitive market. During our initial consultation, we discuss your operational requirements and develop a work schedule that protects your business interests. Some surface preparation might require daytime access, but we can typically handle the actual painting during times that work best for your operations and customer traffic patterns.
Commercial buildings in Michigan typically need exterior repainting every 5-10 years, depending on building materials, paint quality, and weather exposure. Properties facing south or west get more UV damage and may need attention sooner than protected surfaces.
Quality paint systems with proper surface preparation can extend this timeframe significantly, while budget paints or inadequate prep work reduce durability to 3-5 years. Regular maintenance like annual cleaning and minor touch-ups helps maximize your paint investment. We recommend yearly inspections to identify small issues before they become expensive problems, helping you plan maintenance budgets and avoid emergency repainting situations that disrupt business operations.
Proper surface preparation typically includes power washing, scraping loose or failing paint, filling cracks and holes, sanding rough areas, and priming all bare surfaces. The extent depends on your building’s current condition and the materials involved.
Older commercial buildings often require more extensive preparation, including removing multiple paint layers, treating rust on metal components, or repairing minor masonry damage. Newer buildings might only need cleaning and light surface abrasion for paint adhesion. Thorough preparation is the foundation of paint longevity—shortcuts here lead to premature failure and higher long-term costs. We assess your building’s specific needs during the estimate and explain exactly what preparation work is necessary and how it protects your investment.
