You Shouldn’t Have to Babysit Your Painter
You Shouldn’t Have to Babysit Your Painter
You already have enough to manage.
You shouldn’t have to track down your painting contractor to find out whether the crew is coming, what area they’re working in, or when the project is going to be finished.
Commercial painting often involves more than putting paint on walls. There are employees coming and going, customers walking through the property, tenants who need access, and schedules that can’t simply stop because painters are working.
We plan for that.
When you hire Under The Sun Construction, the painters working on your property are our employees, not a painting project we’ve handed off to another company. Our crew is trained to our standards, and Shawn stays involved in making sure the finished work meets them.
The goal is simple: get the painting done without creating another job for you to manage.
“I couldn’t be happier with the work this painting company did on my business building! They matched the exact shade of pink I wanted perfectly, and the finished result looks amazing. From start to finish, they were extremely professional, respectful, and easy to work with. They kept the work area clean and organized, which I really appreciated. Even better, they completed the job within the timeframe they estimated. If you’re looking for a painting company that takes pride in their work, pays attention to detail, and follows through on what they promise, I highly recommend them! I would definitely use them again.”

Interior and Exterior Commercial Painting
Interior and Exterior Commercial Painting
Commercial Interiors
We paint appropriate interior surfaces in commercial and occupied properties, including:
Whether you’re refreshing a worn space, preparing for a new tenant, or updating several areas at once, we’ll talk through how the work can be completed with as little disruption as reasonably possible.
Commercial Exteriors
Exterior paint does more than change the appearance of a building. The right coating system also helps protect the surfaces underneath from Pacific Northwest weather.
Commercial exterior painting may include:
Preparation may include cleaning, scraping, sanding, patching, minor surface repair, caulking, and priming as needed for the particular surface and coating system.
Occupied Properties
A property doesn’t necessarily need to be empty before it can be painted.
When appropriate, we can plan the work in sections and coordinate access around the people using the property.
We’ll talk through what areas need to remain available, what can temporarily be closed off, and how the project can be organized before work begins.
Sometimes the Paint Is Part of a Bigger Plan
Sometimes the Paint Is Part of a Bigger Plan
Commercial properties aren’t always repainted because the old paint is peeling.
Sometimes painting is one piece of a larger business or property decision.
Preparing for a New Tenant
A fresh, neutral space can give a new tenant a clean starting point and help get a property ready for occupancy.
Refreshing a Customer-Facing Space
Walls, doors, trim, and other high-traffic surfaces take a beating. Repainting can make a tired space feel maintained again without a larger renovation.
Updating Your Brand or Colors
If your company has changed its branding, interior or exterior colors may need to change with it.
Maintaining the Property
Addressing worn coatings before they fail completely can help protect surfaces and reduce the amount of preparation or repair required later.
Preparing to Sell or Lease
First impressions matter. Fresh paint can help a commercial property look cleaner and better maintained when prospective tenants or buyers walk through.
Addressing High-Traffic Areas
Hallways, stairwells, entrances, doors, and common areas often show wear long before the rest of a building does.
You may not need to repaint everything. We’ll look at what actually needs attention and help you determine the appropriate scope.
The Painting Schedule Should Fit the Property
A painting crew in the wrong place at the wrong time can create more disruption than the project is worth.
That’s why scheduling is part of the conversation from the beginning.
We’ll talk about your operating hours, employees, customers, tenants, deliveries, access requirements, and any areas that need to remain available while we’re working.
Depending on the property and project, work may be divided into phases or scheduled around the way the building is used.
You should know what’s happening on your property before the paint crew arrives.
Your Property Still Has to Look Professional While We’re Working
Just because part of your building is being painted doesn’t mean the rest of your business stops.
We pay attention to how the jobsite looks and functions while the project is underway.
That means protecting surfaces that aren’t being painted, keeping equipment and materials organized, maintaining access where possible, and cleaning up as the work progresses rather than leaving everything until the final day.
Depending on the project, that may include protecting:
We also communicate with you when an area needs to be temporarily unavailable so you can plan around it.
Professional painting should include a professional jobsite.
Your Exterior Project May Not Have to Wait Until Summer
Pacific Northwest weather can make commercial exterior scheduling challenging, but exterior painting isn’t necessarily limited to a short summer window.
Modern exterior coatings can be applied across a wider range of conditions than many property owners realize.
What matters is the specific coating being used along with air and surface temperatures, moisture, humidity, and the forecast during application and curing.
That’s why we don’t simply look at the month on the calendar.
We paint when conditions are right for the product and surface.
A wider exterior painting season can also make commercial scheduling easier because your project may not have to compete for the same few summer months everyone else is trying to book.
When conditions aren’t appropriate, we wait. When they are, we keep the project moving.
Here’s How It Works
- We Walk the Property
We start by looking at the areas you want painted and understanding how the property operates.
We’ll discuss the surfaces, current condition, access, employees or tenants, customer traffic, and anything else that could affect the project. - We Define the Scope
We’ll determine what needs to be painted, what preparation is required, and how the project should be approached.
You’ll receive a clear estimate so you understand what’s included before work begins.
No vague promises and no surprise additions halfway through the job. - We Plan Access and Scheduling
Before work begins, we’ll talk through how the painting fits around the property.
If areas need to remain operational or the work should be completed in phases, we’ll build that into the plan. - We Prep and Paint
We protect surrounding surfaces and prepare each area appropriately before applying the finish coatings.
The exact process depends on what we’re painting, but may include cleaning, patching, scraping, sanding, caulking, masking, and priming.
Our crew keeps the work areas organized and keeps you informed as the project progresses. - We Walk the Finished Project
When the painting is complete, we inspect the work, address final details, clean the work areas, and walk through the finished project with you.
We want you to see the completed work before we consider the project finished.
A Painting Contractor You Can Call Again
Finding a reliable commercial contractor takes time.
Our goal isn’t simply to finish one painting project. We want to be the company you already know you can call the next time a tenant space needs attention, an exterior starts showing wear, or another part of the property needs painting.
Let’s Talk About Your Property
You don’t need to figure out the entire painting project before you call us.
Tell us about the property, what you’re trying to accomplish, and any scheduling or access concerns you already know about.
We’ll walk the property, talk through the scope, explain what the project needs, and give you an honest estimate for the work.
Your business already gives you enough to manage. Your painting contractor shouldn’t add to the list.
