From Oldtown storefronts to offices, apartment buildings and packing sheds, commercial property in Salinas has to stay in use while it is painted. We walk the site, write up the scope and price, and plan the phases with you. Tell us your hours and we will say what we can do.
Salinas has a wide mix of commercial property. There are shops and restaurants on Main Street in Oldtown, offices near the county buildings, retail centers along North Main and Davis Road, medical offices, churches and many apartment buildings. A large share of local business is tied to farming, with packing sheds, coolers and warehouses around the edge of town. Each needs a different approach, from careful brush work on an old storefront to coating long runs of tilt-up concrete or metal siding.
We start with a walk-through and a written scope. It sets out the areas, the surface preparation, the coating for each surface and the order of the work. Exteriors are washed, cracks and joints are sealed, and bare metal or masonry is primed with the right product. Inside, we protect floors, stock and equipment, repair walls and keep each area tidy as we go. Tall walls need lifts or scaffolding, and that is planned and priced before the job starts.
A business has to keep running, so the schedule matters as much as the paint. Tell us your opening hours, delivery times and any busy season, and we will plan the phases around them where we can. Apartment work is arranged with the manager so tenants get proper notice. Buildings from before 1978 that are used as housing or by young children come under lead-safe rules. You receive one written price and a named contact for the length of the job.
Commercial painting in Salinas: common questions
Can you paint our shop without closing it?
Often, yes. Work can be split into sections so customers still have access, or planned for the hours you are closed where that is possible. Ask us when you call and tell us your hours, and we will say what we can do.
Do you paint apartment buildings and rental units?
Yes. We paint exteriors, common areas and individual units, including repaints between tenants. For several units, one standard color and sheen keeps the cost down and makes later touch-ups simple.
Does a storefront repaint in Oldtown need approval?
Painting itself rarely needs a building permit. Signs, scaffolding on the sidewalk and changes to older downtown buildings can need city approval. Check with the Salinas Community Development Department and with your landlord before you choose colors.
