Priming and Painting Services

We provide smooth, durable priming and painting for commercial interiors.

Professional Commercial Priming and Painting for Interiors

 

At Express Drywall Services, we deliver high-quality priming and painting services tailored to commercial environments. Our team works on new builds, office fit-outs and tenant improvements across the GTA.

We start with a detailed inspection of finished drywall to ensure it’s paint-ready. Then we apply commercial-grade primers that enhance durability and ensure even colour coverage. For client-facing or high-traffic zones, we use coatings that resist scuffs, stains and fading. Every job includes masking, caulking and careful cutting around ceiling grids and trim.

Our painters coordinate with drywall installers and other trades to stay on schedule. Whether you’re preparing for inspection or tenant turnover, we make the space look professionally finished. We also offer colour-matching services and brand-standard applications for multi-site businesses. From prep to final coat, our commercial painting ensures consistent, code-ready results.

Commercial priming and painting are essential final steps that complete any commercial drywall or ceiling installation. These finishes protect surfaces and bring out the full quality of the wall system below. Paint-ready spaces are easier to lease, inspect or occupy – and a clean, even finish reflects well on the entire build.

Whether you’re turning over units, refreshing common areas or preparing for new tenants, paint makes the difference. We use commercial-grade primers and coatings suited to high-traffic environments and tight schedules. From retail stores to corporate offices, our work helps your space look polished and professional.

Painting That Completes the Build

Reliable Finishes for Offices, Retail & Multi-Unit Projects

When construction nears completion, commercial painting becomes the final detail that makes everything feel finished. At Express Drywall Services, we handle commercial priming and painting as a fully integrated step in the building process.

Crews in our company work closely with drywall finishers, ceiling installers and baseboard teams to deliver clean transitions and smooth workflows. We use high-build primers to seal new drywall, catch imperfections and prepare surfaces for paint. Each stage is methodical – sanding, surface prep, priming, edge caulking and clean colour coats.

Our paints are chosen for performance: easy-clean coatings in washrooms, matte finishes in meeting rooms and scrubbable options in public corridors. We know how to deliver smooth coverage on drywall, FRP edges, soffits and around fixtures. Our painters are experienced with tight timelines, shared job sites and active commercial environments.

Whether you’re refreshing a corporate office, painting a franchise buildout or preparing a multi-unit development, we scale to match your scope. We stay aligned with project schedules and follow acoustic or fire-rated wall specs where required.

You can also bundle our services with other scopes like drywall installation, T-Bar ceiling or fire-resistant assemblies. The result – consistent finish quality from frame to turnover. We leave behind crisp lines, even coats and zero mess. That’s why we’re trusted by general contractors, developers and property managers across the GTA.

Precision Painting From Start to Finish

What Goes Into a Quality Commercial Paint Job

We begin by checking walls and ceilings after drywall finishing to ensure they’re smooth, dust-free and ready for primer. All fasteners, joints and corner transitions are inspected under site lighting. We address any imperfections before coating begins. This prep stage sets the foundation for a clean, even paint finish.
We apply high-build primer to seal drywall surfaces and prepare for topcoat adhesion. For high-humidity or high-traffic areas, we use primers tailored to the space’s conditions. Proper priming enhances durability and evens out absorption across surfaces. It also reveals minor flaws for final touch-ups before colour application.
We apply paintable caulking around door frames, baseboards and trim to ensure smooth transitions. This step also helps seal gaps for a cleaner look and longer-lasting finish. Edges are taped or masked for precision. It’s a detail-driven phase that improves final presentation.
Using rollers, brushes or sprayers - depending on site needs - we apply the first coat evenly across all specified surfaces. We follow manufacturer spread rates and drying times to avoid flashing or streaking. Commercial-grade paints provide high coverage and scrub resistance. The first coat brings the space to life and highlights surface readiness.
A second coat ensures complete coverage, uniform colour and added surface strength. Once dry, we walk through the space to flag any blemishes or missed spots. Minor touch-ups are addressed immediately. This guarantees a professional result that meets both spec and presentation standards.
We remove masking, clean up all debris and ensure the space is safe for the next trade or inspection. Final paint cans and labelled colour references can be left on-site if requested. Our crew walks the space with the project lead to ensure satisfaction. Your commercial interior is now visually complete and ready to open.

Surface Protection

Commercial Painting That Works As Hard As You Do

In a commercial space, walls need more than just colour – they need performance. Our priming and painting services are built around that expectation. We use commercial-grade materials and tested workflows to deliver finishes that stand up to daily traffic, cleaning and client scrutiny.

Before the first coat, our team inspects drywall and addresses surface flaws left behind after taping and mudding. We use high-adhesion primers that even out porosity and set the tone for long-lasting coverage. Once primed, surfaces are caulked, taped and painted in line with site needs – brushed, rolled or sprayed.

Our goal is more than just a pretty surface – it’s consistency, code compliance and durability. We help you meet tight turnover timelines by working cleanly, efficiently and around other trades. Whether the project is a retail unit, call centre or hospitality space, we bring the right tools and coatings for the job.

We can also support your tenant improvement package with bundled drywall finishing and painting services. Every job includes proper masking and end-of-day cleanup, so sites stay organized and inspection-ready. When needed, we provide labelled touch-up cans and recorded colour specs. The work we do helps properties lease faster, operate cleaner and maintain a polished brand image.
