08
Corridors, suites, and occupied buildings with controlled dust.
09
Diamond grind, moisture tests, and broadcast epoxy systems.
10
Airless production spraying for walls, steel, and high bays.

After-hours hallways, classrooms, and gym walls for schools.
12
Corridors, stairwells, and unit turns in rental buildings.
Service areas — Surrey & Lower Mainland
Surrey is the shop base. Crews also run commercial recoats in Burnaby, Richmond, and Delta. Those three sit next to Surrey's warehouse and office belt, so they get their own pages. Every other municipality is listed on the hub.
Why hire a Surrey commercial painter
Facility managers comparing a Surrey commercial painting company usually ask the same four things before they book a walk.
You get prep method, product system, DFT targets, and occupancy notes before a roller hits the wall.
Offices, stores, schools, and rental corridors are sequenced around tenants. Night and weekend windows are normal.
Surrey rain and dew point kill lazy exterior recoats. Crews wait for a legal weather window or they do not start.
MPI categories, alkali-resistant primers, zinc-rich steel systems, and moisture tests show up in the paperwork.
Surrey commercial painting FAQ
We are a Surrey commercial painting company. The work is offices, warehouses, industrial plants, retail, restaurants, strata, schools, and apartment buildings. Residential house painting is not the focus.
Commercial work is the core. Crews run office, warehouse, industrial, retail, restaurant, strata, school, and apartment jobs in Surrey and the surrounding Lower Mainland municipalities. Residential house painting is not the focus.
Yes. Most office, retail, restaurant, and school work is staged nights or weekends. Occupied buildings get containment, low-odour products, and a walk-through so staff know which floors are live.
Tilt-up warehouses usually get an alkali-resistant primer on new or dusty concrete, then a high-build acrylic or epoxy mastic on walls. Floors are a separate system after moisture testing. Product choice follows the MPI category in the spec when one exists.
When a consultant or property manager issues a Master Painters Institute spec, crews bid and apply to that MPI category, including surface prep, DFT targets, and approved product lists. If there is no written spec, we write a short scope so everyone is looking at the same system.
The Lower Mainland wet season limits exterior windows. Crews watch dew point, substrate moisture, and the product's minimum application temperature. Exterior recoats are planned for dry stretches, with interior work filling the wet months.
Strata work is common here. Exterior envelope recoats, parkade walls, corridors, and balcony metal are staged around resident access, elevator bookings, and council notices. We do not invent a schedule promise. We plan around the building's rules.
Restaurant kitchens need washable, moisture-tolerant systems, often a moisture-cured urethane or epoxy wall coating over a sealed substrate. Dining rooms usually take a scrubbable eggshell. Health-authority washdown is part of the close-out conversation.
Commercial painting process
01
Moisture meter on drywall and concrete, dew-point check on exteriors, and a look at existing film adhesion. No product until the wall tells us what it will hold.
02
Alkali-resistant primer on new tilt-up, zinc-rich or epoxy on steel, scrubbable eggshell in occupied suites, moisture-cured wall systems in kitchens. MPI category when a spec exists.
03
Airless spray on open walls, cut-and-roll in live rooms. Wet-film comb during application, dry-film gauge after cure, punch list before demobilize.
Surrey commercial projects
Campbell Heights and Port Kells tilt-up panels need alkali-resistant primer on new or dusty concrete, then a high-build acrylic or epoxy mastic. High-bay spray from a scissor lift, with dock doors sequenced so shipping stays open.
Open-plan suites along Highway 1 and City Centre get low-VOC eggshell on gypsum, semi-gloss on doors and frames, and careful cut-in at aluminum mullions. Night shifts keep tenants on the floor during the day.
Wood-frame mid-rises in Clayton, Fleetwood, and South Surrey need elastomeric acrylic over fibre-cement or stucco, balcony metal, and parkade walls. Council notices and elevator bookings sit on the schedule next to weather windows.
Plaza bays and mall in-line stores want brand colours matched under the store's actual lamps. Taped storefront frames, drop cloths on polished slab, and a punch before the first customer.
Dining rooms take scrubbable eggshell. Commercial kitchens need a moisture-cured or epoxy wall coating that survives washdown. Stainless, tile wainscot, and grease film change the prep.
Hallways, classrooms, and gym walls are staged after hours or in summer break. Scrubbable, low-VOC products. Lockers, fire devices, and wayfinding stay covered until punch.
Power-tool or blast-cleaned steel, zinc-rich or epoxy primer, compatible topcoat, wet-film and dry-film checks. Plant interiors and fabrication shops, not a feature wall.
Diamond grind, crack chase, calcium chloride or in-situ RH test, then primer, body coat, optional quartz broadcast, and a wear topcoat. Peel failures almost always start with skipped moisture data.
Commercial painting specs
Commercial painting in Surrey lives or dies on the system, not the colour chip. New tilt-up concrete is alkaline and dusty. It wants an alkali-resistant primer from an MPI #3 or #4 category before a high-build acrylic or an epoxy mastic goes on the field. Gypsum in offices takes a PVA or high-hide primer, then a low-VOC eggshell that can be washed without polishing. Doors and frames take a waterborne acrylic enamel or a waterborne alkyd for block resistance.
Steel is a different ticket. SSPC-SP2 or SP3 power-tool cleaning is the floor for maintenance recoats. Blast to SP6 when the spec says so. Zinc-rich epoxy or an organic zinc primer, then a compatible epoxy intermediate and a polyurethane or polysiloxane topcoat if UV is in play. Wet-film thickness is checked with a comb during the pass. Dry-film thickness is checked after cure. That is how you know the primer actually hit the mils the data sheet asked for.
Floors start with a moisture number. ASTM F1869 calcium chloride or F2170 in-situ RH tells you whether a standard epoxy will blister. If the slab is wet, you switch to a moisture-mitigating primer. Diamond grinding opens the surface profile. A notched squeegee and a spiked roller lay the body coat. Broadcast quartz if you need traction in a dock aisle. The BC Building Code and WorkSafeBC WHMIS labels sit in the binder next to the SDS sheets. None of this is marketing language. It is the difference between a film that lasts and a film that peels in the first wet winter.
Call the shop line or send the building details. A coordinator will ask for occupancy, photos, and any written spec.
