Exterior painting for commercial and industrial buildings by Raider Painting

Interior and exterior painting

Exterior painting for commercial and industrial buildings

Stucco, concrete, masonry, metal panels, and structural steel, prepped and coated to hold up to sun, rain, and wind. From single-story warehouses to multi-story towers, since 1983.

Overview

Exterior painting that lasts

A building’s exterior never gets a break. Sun fades the color, rain finds its way into cracks and joints, and wind carries dust and pollutants onto the facade. None of it is sudden, but it adds up. The right coating system, on a properly prepared surface, slows all of it down and makes major repairs less frequent.

We also apply anti-graffiti coatings, clear or pigmented, that let graffiti wash off.

Each one responds differently to sun, moisture, and temperature swings. Matching the system to the surface is most of the job.

How an exterior paint job runs

  • Site visit: an estimator checks the surfaces, the condition of the old finish, early signs of moisture or movement, and how we’ll reach every elevation.
  • Written estimate: scope, prep, materials, schedule, and price in writing.
  • Prep: power washing to clear dust, mildew, and pollutants. Loose paint scraped. Cracks patched, joints caulked, patches stripe coated so water can’t get in behind the finish.
  • Access: scaffolding, swing stages, boom lifts, or spider lifts, with pedestrian protection where the public walks below.
  • Finish coats: spot priming where it’s needed, then two to three finish coats, applied in weather the product can handle.
  • Final walkthrough: we check coverage, finish, and adhesion with you before we call it done.

Working around tenants and traffic

Exterior work happens above people. We cordon off sections, build pedestrian tunnels where the public passes underneath, hold regular safety meetings, and have our safety manager visit the site. Phased elevations keep storefronts, entrances, and loading docks open.

FAQ

Common questions

More FAQs
How often does a commercial exterior need repainting?

It depends on the surface, the exposure, and the last coating. Sun-facing stucco and coastal buildings go sooner. An estimator can tell you where yours is, and a maintenance program keeps it from getting to the point of a full repaint.

What weather do you paint in?

Most exterior coatings go on between about 50 and 85 degrees with the surface dry. We schedule around the forecast and the product’s limits, and we stop when the weather won’t let the coating cure properly.

Can you reach the upper floors of our building?

Yes. Scaffolding, swing stages, boom lifts up to 130 feet, and spider lifts are all regular equipment for us, and access is planned at the site visit.

Do you handle the stucco and concrete repairs too?

Yes. Crack repair, patching, caulking, and elastomeric stripe coating are part of the prep on every exterior job.

Do you paint homes?

No. We only do commercial and industrial work.
