Need Your Offices Repainted?

The painting of offices can be a simple two to three hour task with minor interruption or it can be a large, logistical operation. Elite Trade Painting understands the needs of a working office environment and what it takes to get small and large offices painted with the minimum amount of disruption. 

As part of every proposal for office environments, we will discuss timing and functionality of the office, details of the areas required, a general discussion on possible colour choices as well as staff sensitivities to cleaning products and paints. We will calculate the needs for project completion after the assessment for the job is completed.

Detailed Quotes for Your Office Painting

Once we have the project scoped, we will provide a detailed quote for areas and items to be painted that will each have a timeline as well as details on the paint products we will be using.

Paints of Choice for Office Painting

Our choice for office painting usually No-VOC products by Dulux (Lifemaster) or Sherwin Williams (ProMar 200).

Scheduling and Timing

Once the proposal is accepted, the next step is to set up the timing for the project. This entails setting a starting date and then creating a daily schedule where areas are scheduled for completion and then returned to service. Working with office staff and management to create the optimal timing to minimize any work disruption is key for a successful schedule.

It is more common for us to paint offices during business hours but in some cases, this may not be possible. In this case, we will create schedules that involve work to be done on evenings, weekends, and holidays.

How Long Does it Take to Paint an Office?

A single office for one painter with just walls is a two to three hour task, add one hour for a door frame and window. A team of two painters can paint six to seven offices in a day with only walls being completed, or four to five offices in a day with walls and trim being completed.

What Is Involved with Painting Your Office?

Most offices require walls, doors, windows and door frames to be painted while most ceilings tend to be T-bar tile and are generally not painted.

Drywall ceilings (when present) are more commonly painted but are often in excellent condition and do not require painting.

Two coats are usually applied for optimal coverage and durability but three to four coats may be required if using brighter and more vibrant colours.

What Preparation is Needed to Do to Get Ready for Painting Your Office?

Most offices require a minimum of preparation to take place prior to painting. Staff will need to remove small items and paperwork from their work areas, storing them in desks or cabinets.

Boxes and personal items must also be removed or stored. In general, we need a three-foot clearance around the perimeter of a room in order to accomplish the work required. 

We move most furniture and file cabinets providing that they are not oversized or overweight. Modular furniture will need to be professionally moved or disassembled.

It is not uncommon for clients to have a few larger pieces of furniture around instead of enduring the hassle and cost of disassembly or professional movers being used.
