We paint offices and shopfronts in the Melbourne CBD, cafés and venues in St Kilda and Brunswick, retail strips in Brighton, Toorak and Hawthorn, and commercial premises in Ivanhoe and across Melbourne.

Commercial painting is different from painting a home. Premises are busy, surfaces take heavy wear and there are deadlines, lease dates and opening days to meet. Every day of disruption costs money, so the job has to be planned properly and carried out efficiently. We plan every project around your operations, protect your stock and equipment, and keep the work area safe and tidy.

Painting Solutions for Every Type of Commercial Property

Every type of commercial space has its own demands, from heavy foot traffic to moisture, grease and strict hygiene rules. We choose the right preparation, scheduling and paint system for each property, so the finish stands up to daily use.

Offices & Corporate Spaces
We keep disruption low with careful staging, dust control and tidy work areas. Smooth, washable finishes in meeting rooms, reception areas and open-plan spaces keep your workplace looking professional.

Retail Shops & Showrooms
We work around opening hours and fit-out schedules, with clean cut-in lines and consistent colour so your brand looks sharp from the footpath to the back of the store.

Cafés, Restaurants & Hospitality
Kitchens and dining areas deal with moisture, steam and grease. We recommend durable, wipe-clean finishes suited to hospitality spaces and plan work around your service times.

Warehouses & Industrial Buildings
Large walls, high ceilings, steel frames and floors need the right access equipment and heavy-duty coatings. We prepare surfaces properly so the coating lasts.

Strata Buildings & Common Areas
Lobbies, corridors, stairwells and car parks see constant use. We work with building managers and owners corporations on access, timing, noise and safety.

Exteriors & Shopfronts
Exterior walls, signage backgrounds, awnings and trims get exterior-grade systems made to handle sun, rain and pollution, helping your frontage look its best.

Our Commercial Painting Process

A planned, organised approach that keeps your business running and your project on schedule.

1

Site Inspection & Quote

We visit your premises, review the surfaces, access and any building or lease requirements, and give you a detailed written quote and timeline with no hidden costs.

2

Planning & Scheduling

We agree working hours, staging, access and safety arrangements with you or your building manager, so the work fits around your trading and your people.

3

Protect & Prepare

We cover floors, fixtures, stock and equipment, set up safe work areas, then clean, fill, sand and spot-prime surfaces so the new coating bonds properly.

4

Priming & Painting

The right primer goes on first, followed by two coats of quality commercial-grade paint, applied in a logical order so each area is finished cleanly and returned to use quickly.

5

Inspection & Touch-Ups

We check the finished work in good light, touch up anything needed and walk through the premises with you or your property manager.

6

Clean-Up & Handover

We remove all masking, drop sheets and waste, leave the site clean and tidy, and hand it back ready for business.

COLOURS & FINISHES

Choosing the Right Colours and Finishes for Your Business

Colour and finish affect how customers feel, how staff work and how well a space holds up. Here's what we help business owners think about.

Reflect your brand
Your colours should support your brand identity. We can match your brand colours or recommend a palette that complements your logo, signage and fit-out.

Choose durable, washable finishes
High-traffic areas like entries, corridors, counters and kitchens need hard-wearing, scuff-resistant paints that are easy to clean. We recommend products to suit each area.

Use the right sheen for each space
Flat or matt ceilings reduce glare, low-sheen walls hide marks and imperfections, and satin or semi-gloss is best for doors, trims, counters and kitchens.

Think about lighting
Retail and hospitality lighting can change how colours look. We suggest testing sample colours on the wall under your actual lighting before finalising your scheme.

Plan for lease requirements
If you’re a tenant, your lease may specify the colours and finishes you need to return the premises to. Check the lease early so you can plan your colours and avoid extra repainting costs.

Consider low-odour options
For occupied offices, cafés and retail spaces, we can recommend low-odour and low-VOC paint options so you can keep trading with less disruption. Ask us when you request your quote.

Signs, Costs & Planning Guide

When to Repaint Your Commercial Property

Your premises may be due for a repaint if walls look scuffed, stained or faded, paint is peeling or cracking, you can see marks from furniture, trolleys or foot traffic, your exterior looks chalky or weathered, or your colours no longer match your brand. High-traffic businesses like cafés, clinics and retail stores often repaint every 3 to 5 years, while lower-traffic offices may go longer. A fresh, clean finish also helps when you're preparing to lease, sell or hand back a property.

What Affects the Cost of Commercial Painting in Melbourne?

Every commercial job is different, so we give a written quote after inspecting your premises. Commercial painting in Melbourne is usually priced by the size and scope of the job, with typical projects ranging from $[X] to $[X]. The main factors are the floor area and wall area, ceiling height and access needs, the condition of the surfaces, the amount of preparation, whether work must happen after hours or in stages, the paint system required, and the number of coats and colours. After-hours work, night shifts and tight deadlines can affect pricing, but they can also save you far more in lost trading. We explain exactly what's included so you can compare quotes fairly.

Lease Make-Good Painting

If you're leaving a leased property, your lease may require you to return it to its original condition, which often includes repainting. We can inspect the premises, check the make-good requirements in your lease, and complete the repaint to a standard that meets your landlord's or agent's expectations. Check your lease early and allow enough time before your exit date.

Working Around Your Business

We plan commercial jobs to suit how you operate. Depending on your property and needs, we can stage the work area by area, schedule it for quieter periods and agree working hours with you or your building manager in advance. Please ask about options such as early starts, evening work or weekend work when you request a quote.
