Our Interior & Exterior Commercial Painting Services

Fitzgerald Condominium
Paris just completed two projects on our downtown Saint Paul condo building. Paris did all work getting city permits to block parking and traffic. I had them also repaint our entry and lobby.
Lorien
All the customers remarked how well you did and no complaints. Worked so hard and did it fast -- good communication with Chris. Javier also has to mentioned, he was so good. It all looks really nice and they even painted my sign. Cleaned windows too!

Chris and the crew were very professional throughout the project. I never had to be concerned about any of the tenants being inconvenienced. Very happy.

Commercial Exterior Painting for Minnesota Buildings

Commercial exteriors in Minnesota need more than a quick coat of paint. Weather, moisture, sun exposure, temperature changes, and building materials all affect how long the finish will last. Paris Painting helps businesses improve curb appeal while protecting exterior surfaces with proper preparation and coating recommendations.

Our commercial exterior painting services may include painting for siding, trim, doors, entryways, storefronts, exterior walls, and other visible building surfaces. Before painting begins, we evaluate the condition of the surface, look for peeling or failing paint, address prep needs, and choose products suited for the building and exposure level.

Retail Painting Services in the Twin Cities

Retail spaces need to look clean, current, and inviting. Whether you operate a small storefront, shopping center space, boutique, showroom, or customer-facing business, the right paint can help support your brand and improve the customer experience.

Paris Painting provides retail painting for sales floors, fitting rooms, checkout areas, display walls, offices, break rooms, doors, trim, and other high-visibility areas. We focus on smooth finishes, clean lines, durable products, and scheduling that helps minimize interruptions to your normal business flow.

From a simple refresh to a full interior repaint, our team can help your retail space look more polished, professional, and ready for customers.

Commercial Painting Planned Around Your Business

Painting a commercial space should not bring your business to a stop. Paris Painting works with business owners, property managers, and facility teams to plan projects around daily operations whenever possible.

For active businesses, we can help coordinate phased painting, area-by-area scheduling, and timing that limits disruption for employees, customers, tenants, and guests. This is especially helpful for offices, retail stores, multi-use buildings, apartment common areas, and customer-facing spaces that need to stay clean and accessible during the project.

Our goal is to complete the work efficiently while keeping the jobsite organized, safe, and respectful of your business environment.

Historic Commercial & Multi-Family Buildings

Most people know us for houses. The same crews, project managers and lead-safe practices also handle churches, condo associations, apartment buildings and storefronts across Minneapolis and St. Paul, including the pre-1940 buildings other contractors turn down.

Condo & HOA associations

Downtown and neighborhood condo buildings, townhome associations and rowhouses. We handle the city permits for parking and traffic control, phase the work by building or elevation, and give the board one proposal with every unit and common area itemized. One recent association project covered 25 condos, 104 garages and 2 pool houses.

Apartment buildings & common areas

Hallways, stairwells, lobbies, unit turns and exteriors, scheduled around residents. Buildings built before 1978 get full lead-safe prep. We have completed more than 4,400 lead-safe projects.

Churches & steeples

Sanctuaries, fellowship halls, entry doors and exterior trim, plus the tall work: bell towers and steeples reached with lift equipment and painted with lead-safe prep on the original wood.

Historic storefronts & mixed-use

Main-street commercial buildings with original wood storefronts, cornices, transoms and upper-floor apartments. We match existing colors, repair rotted trim with our own carpentry crew and keep the sidewalk open for your customers.

Senior living & care facilities

Occupied buildings painted in phases with low-odor products and daily cleanup. One 52-unit, four-story senior living building was completed in 763 crew hours.

Offices, schools, retail & manufacturing

Interior repaints after hours or over weekends, and exteriors scheduled around deliveries and customers. See our manufacturing and non-profit project write-ups below.

How a Commercial Project Runs

Free on-site walkthrough

An estimator walks the property with you or your property manager, flags repairs and lead-safe needs, and scopes every building, elevation and common area.

Itemized written proposal

Each building, area and repair is its own line with the product, primer and number of coats, so a board or owner can add, drop or phase work. Pricing holds for 90 days.

Scheduled around operations

Most projects start within 1 to 2 weeks. We phase by area, work after hours where needed, and handle permits, lifts and tenant notices.

One project manager, 3-year warranty

A dedicated project manager and coordinator run the job start to finish. Every project carries a 3-year warranty, $2,000,000 in liability coverage and full workers' comp.

A Recent Commercial Interior

Painted between Friday close and Monday open

Lobby, reception, four exam rooms, the treatment and dental area and the surgery suite. Walls in Sherwin-Williams Scuff Tuff, trim and doors in Emerald Urethane, every area its own line on the proposal so the clinic could phase or drop rooms. The clinic closes Friday at 3, so the crew worked the weekend and the practice never lost a business day.

Commercial Painting Questions

Do you paint historic commercial buildings?

Yes. Churches, historic condo buildings, downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis storefronts and pre-1940 apartment buildings are a regular part of our work. Original wood gets lead-safe prep, rotted trim is repaired by our own carpentry crew, and tall sections are reached with lifts.

Do you work with HOAs and property managers?

Yes. We give boards and managers one itemized proposal, one project manager and one point of contact, with the work phased by building so residents always know what is happening next.

Can you paint while the building is occupied?

Yes. We phase by area, use low-odor products where needed, work after hours or weekends for offices and retail, and clean up daily so the space is usable each morning.

Do you follow lead-safe practices on older buildings?

Yes. Buildings built before 1978 are treated as lead-positive: containment, no sanding, HEPA cleanup and safe disposal. Paris Painting is EPA Lead-Safe Certified and has completed more than 4,400 lead-safe projects.

Are you insured for commercial work?

Yes. Every project is backed by $2,000,000 in liability coverage and full workers' compensation, and certificates of insurance are available for your property manager or board.

How fast can you start?

Most commercial projects start within 1 to 2 weeks of a signed proposal, depending on the season and scope. Large multi-building projects are scheduled in phases.

Easiest work I've ever contracted out Paris stained my fence and it looks great. They keep me informed about the timing, arrived on time and completed the job quickly. The bonus, I was on vacation and they completed the entire job by the time I returned.

Scottie did a wonderful job painting the trim on my new windows. I chose to have a sprayed finish and his attention to detail was fantastic. The communication with staff throughout the project was excellent. I would heartily recommend using them.
