CommercialStucco and storefront exteriors washed, repaired, re-caulked, and recoated.
A commercial repaint is a building envelope project. We wash the structure, repair stucco and substrate, re-caulk every joint and penetration, and then apply coatings rated for the exposure, working one elevation at a time so tenants and customers keep coming and going.
A sound exterior coating does more than refresh a building. It seals stucco and trim against water, and it tells customers the property is cared for.
The difference is in the prep. Our crews set up lifts and access, repair and prime the substrate, and apply premium coatings with crisp lines and even coverage, so your building looks sharp and holds up for years.
On-site assessment
We walk the building with you, measure, note problem areas, and confirm the finish you want.
Written proposal
You get a detailed, line-item estimate with products, prep scope, and a firm schedule. No surprises.
Protect & prepare
Surfaces are masked and covered, then cleaned, scraped, patched, sealed, and primed so the coating bonds properly.
Apply & inspect
Premium coatings go on in full coats, then we walk the finished work with you and correct anything before we call it done.
What a commercial repaint includes
Every commercial exterior proposal covers the envelope work below, from the wash to the final coat.
Full envelope wash
Pollen, dirt, mildew, and chalk washed off every wall so the new coating bonds to a sound surface.
Stucco and substrate repair
Cracks in stucco opened, filled, and patched flush before any coating goes on.
Coatings rated for the exposure
Finish coats chosen for the sun, rain, and shade each elevation sees, applied in full coats.
Joints, penetrations, and storefronts
Old sealant cut out at windows, frames, and penetrations, then glass and signage masked for the finish coats.
Lifts and safe access
Lifts and staging sized to the building, with traffic control below where needed.
Elevation-by-elevation sequencing
One side of the building at a time, with every entrance kept accessible while we work.
Need more than paint?
Interior suites, corridors, and lobbies can run alongside the outside through our commercial painting crews, and owners with a house on the side can book residential exterior painting too. Tell us the scope and we will fold it into one proposal.
Colors that keep a building looking current
Most commercial exteriors run on one body color, one trim color, and one dark accent at the entry. These are colors that suit that kind of scheme.
Start with what stays: the roof, the storefront glass, the aluminum frames, the tenant signage. A bronze storefront frame leans toward warm beige and taupe. A clear anodized frame suits soft gray and off-white. We brush large samples on more than one elevation and check them from the parking lot, not up close.
Big flat walls push a color lighter in full sun and darker in shade, so pick a step deeper than the chip suggests. Dark body colors absorb heat and show every patch in stucco. Save the strong color for the entry, where customers look first.

Signs the building needs a repaint
Waiting too long turns a repaint into a stucco and sealant repair job. Walk the building each spring and look for these.
Chalk on your hand
Rub the stucco with a dark cloth. A powdery residue means sun has broken down the binder and the coating is spent.
Hairline cracks in stucco
Small cracks are normal. Anything wider than a credit card edge needs patching and an elastomeric coating.
Failed sealant at joints
Open joints around windows, frames, and penetrations let water behind the coating, and peeling follows fast.
Peeling or blistering
Any lifting film on stucco or trim means water is getting behind the paint. Catch it before it reaches the substrate.
One elevation lighter than the rest
When the south and west sides look washed out next to the shaded sides, UV has broken down the pigment.
A stucco coating lasts 8 to 12 years in metro Atlanta, and trim and fascia need attention every 5 to 7. South and west elevations fade and chalk years before the shaded sides. Two years late adds scraping and extra sealant work. Four years late adds stucco repair and a full prime. Call (678) 737-6776 to set up a walkthrough.
Questions we hear most
Straight answers on timing, paint, payment, and the warranty. Anything else, ask us on the estimate visit or call (678) 737-6776.
Very little. We work one elevation at a time and keep all entrances accessible.

We use only premium products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, selected for durability, color retention, and a smooth finish. We’ll recommend the right product and sheen for each surface on the building.
Yes. Dunwoody Painters is fully licensed and insured, and our painters are background-checked and trained. That covers every residential and commercial project we take on.
