High-rise painting contractors
Exterior and interior painting, caulking, and waterproofing for high-rise buildings. We keep our crews, your tenants, and the people on the sidewalk below safe.
Overview
High-rise building painting, planned from the top down
High-rise painting takes more planning than most jobs: the height, the hard-to-reach spots, the weather, and the tenants who still need to get in and out. Raider Painting is a commercial and industrial painting contractor that has painted high rises for decades, including the twin 22-story Wilshire Comstock towers and the Capitol Records Building in Los Angeles. We handle exterior and interior painting, waterproofing, and protective coatings on tall buildings of every type.
We plan the schedule around your tenants and keep the access we need to finish the job. Our crews work from swing stages, scaffolding, and lifts, and they follow strict safety practices to protect themselves, the people in the building, and the pedestrians and traffic below. We secure work zones, protect walkways and entrances, and keep the building open for business and daily life.
Every high-rise project starts with careful planning and thorough surface preparation, including cleaning, patching, and sealing, so the coating bonds tightly and stands up to wind, sun, rain, and years of exposure. We phase the work floor by floor or elevation by elevation, and we communicate clearly with property managers, HOAs, and tenants from start to finish.
From a mid-rise office building to a landmark tower, Raider Painting delivers durable, professional results on schedule and on budget, with minimal disruption to the people who work and live there.
Exteriors that keep water out
Most high-rise exterior painting is about more than color. We clean and prep the surface, seal joints with caulking, repair cracks with epoxy and grout injection, and apply elastomeric coatings that stretch with the building and bridge hairline cracks.

Do you work on exteriors of high rises?

We’re dealing with water intrusion on our building/decks. Can you help?
Absolutely. We’re experts in waterproofing and use elastomeric and other protective coating systems to stop leaks. We also identify the source of the water intrusion and apply the correct fix, including crack repair and epoxy injection when needed.
Can you work off-hours, nights, weekends, or holidays?
Absolutely! We work around your business’s needs and operational requirements. Our crews can be scheduled during facility shutdowns, between shifts for multi-shift operations, or anytime outside standard hours: nights, weekends, and holidays included. There are no limitations. Just let us know what fits your schedule.
How soon can I get a site visit? How long does it take to receive an estimate?
Site visits are typically scheduled within 2–4 days, depending on the urgency and scope of your project. In many cases, we can provide preliminary pricing even faster by using satellite imagery and client-provided photos, allowing us to complete remote assessments when an on-site visit isn’t immediately necessary. Once a site visit is completed, formal written estimates are generally turned around within 1–2 days for straightforward projects, while larger or more complex scopes may require 4–7 days to prepare accurately. Rush estimates are also available Just let us know the urgency and we’ll make it happen!
