COMMERCIAL PAINTING
Commercial Painting Contractor for Los Angeles Properties
Apartments, HOAs, churches, offices, and parking structures painted on your schedule - nights and weekends included - by our own W-2 crews since 1929.
We respond within 24 hours - usually the same day.
Commercial Painting That Respects Your Tenants, Your Schedule, and Your Budget
Commercial painting is a logistics job as much as a painting job. Tenants need access, businesses need to stay open, and boards and owners need a fixed number they can take to a budget meeting.
Foothill Painting has been handling that balance for Los Angeles properties since 1929. Because we staff every project with our own trained W-2 employees rather than subcontractors, you get consistent crews, predictable quality, and accountability that traces back to one company and one license. Every scope, price, and schedule detail goes into a written contract before work begins, with no hidden fees.
We work when your property needs us to, including nights, weekends, and phased schedules that move building by building or floor by floor. Occupied buildings get full protection of furniture, equipment, and finishes, and we guarantee our work meets or exceeds painting industry standards.
Why Commercial Buildings in LA Need Repainting Sooner Than Owners Expect
Commercial work is scale work - access equipment, phasing, and containment planned before the first coat.
Commercial exteriors take the same punishment as homes, multiplied by scale. UV exposure chalks and fades large stucco elevations unevenly, and heat cycling opens cracks that let moisture behind the coating, where it lifts paint in sheets rather than patches.
Traffic does the rest. Hundreds of tenants, customers, carts, and hand trucks scuff corridors, doors, and railings daily, and parking structures collect exhaust film, tire scuffing, and water intrusion through decks and joints.
Deferred maintenance compounds quietly. A faded, peeling elevation drags down rents and lease negotiations, and once a coating fails, water gets to stucco, steel, and wood, turning a repaint line item into a stucco repair budget.
Signs Your Property Is Due
If you manage or own a property showing any of these, call (818) 748-3227. A professional estimator will walk the property with you and deliver a written fixed-price bid.
What Deferred Painting Costs a Property
Coatings are the building's weatherproofing. Once they fail on stucco, wood, or steel, the substrate starts deteriorating, and repairs to rusted railings, spalled concrete, and water-damaged walls cost multiples of a maintenance repaint.
Appearance is income. Prospective tenants judge an apartment building or office in the first thirty seconds from the curb, and worn paint translates directly into longer vacancies and weaker lease terms.
For HOAs and churches, there is also stewardship. Boards and congregations answer to members for how funds are spent, and a planned, warrantied repaint is far easier to defend than an emergency repair after years of deferral. Our maintenance programs give property managers scheduled inspections, touch-ups, and re-coat cycles that keep warranties valid and budgets predictable.
Commercial Properties We Paint
Apartment Painting
Full exterior and interior repaints, unit turnovers, corridors, and common areas, phased so tenants keep access and managers keep the peace.
HOA Common Areas
Community buildings, monument walls, fences, railings, and shared surfaces, with documentation and scheduling built for board approval processes.
Churches & Houses of Worship
Sanctuaries, halls, classrooms, and exteriors, scheduled around services and events so ministry never stops for painting.
Parking Structures
We coat walls, ceilings, columns, and stairwells with durable, light-reflective finishes that brighten levels and improve the feel of the structure.
Medical & Professional Offices
Low-odor, low-VOC coatings applied nights and weekends so exam rooms and offices open on time, with strict protection of equipment and finishes.
Office Painting, Retail & Industrial
Office buildings, storefronts, and industrial facilities, from tilt-up exteriors to tenant improvement interiors, on tight and clearly communicated timelines.
How We Run a Commercial Project
SITE INSPECTION & BID
An estimator walks the property, inspects and tests every surface, flags problem areas, and delivers a written fixed-price bid with scope, products, and schedule spelled out.
SCHEDULING AROUND YOUR OPERATIONS
We build a plan around your tenants and business hours, including night and weekend work, phasing, and notices to occupants where needed.
SURFACE PREP
Pressure washing, crack repair, patching, rust treatment, and caulking. Commercial coatings fail early for the same reason residential ones do, which is skipped prep, so we do not skip it.
PRIMING
The correct primer for each substrate - stucco, concrete, steel, or wood - so finish coats bond and last.
APPLICATION
Dunn-Edwards and Sherwin-Williams commercial-grade coatings applied at manufacturer spread rates, keeping the full manufacturer warranty in force for the property.
DAILY CLEANUP & COMMUNICATION
Clean, contained work areas every day, with a single point of contact reporting progress to your manager or board.
WALKTHROUGH, WARRANTY & MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
A final walkthrough with your representative, a written warranty, and optional enrollment in our maintenance program with scheduled inspections and re-coat cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Painting
How much does commercial painting cost in Los Angeles?
It depends on square footage, surface condition, access equipment, and scheduling requirements, so commercial work is always priced by written bid after a site walk. Your bid is a fixed number, never an estimate that grows.
Can you paint while our building stays open?
Yes. We schedule nights, weekends, and phased work so tenants, patients, customers, and congregations keep normal access, and occupied areas get full protection of furniture and equipment.
Do you work with HOA boards and property managers?
Regularly. We provide the documentation boards need, keep one point of contact through the project, and offer maintenance programs with scheduled inspections and re-coat cycles that keep warranties valid.
Are your crews employees or subcontractors?
Every person on your property is a trained Foothill Painting W-2 employee. We never use subcontractors or day labor, which is rare in commercial painting and central to how we control quality.

Call (818) 748-3227 or send the form on this page, and a professional estimator will schedule a site walk, usually within 24 hours of your request. You will receive a written fixed-price bid with scope and schedule included.
