Commercial Painting in Ottawa
Commercial Painting done properly
A tired office or a scuffed shop wall says something to everyone who walks in, whether you want it to or not. Clean, well-painted walls make a space feel looked after. Our commercial work focuses on interiors: private offices, open work areas, reception spaces, retail floors and the shared corridors and lobbies of larger buildings. The goal is a space your staff and customers notice for the right reasons.
We're a residential company at heart, and that works in your favour here. Commercial clients get the same tidy job sites, clear communication and accurate written proposals our homeowners count on, with structured payment stages so the budget is easy to follow. Our crew has more than 50 years of combined experience, and you can learn more about our family-run company before you call.
What we cover
Commercial Spaces We Paint
Interior painting for offices, retail stores and building common areas. We plan the work with you, protect your space and use durable finishes suited to busy, high-traffic rooms.
Offices
Private offices, boardrooms and open work areas. We choose finishes that stand up to chairs, carts and constant contact, and colours that keep a workspace bright without making it feel clinical.
Retail and business premises
Stores, showrooms, studios and service businesses where the walls are part of the brand. We can help you choose colours that suit your fixtures, your lighting and the way customers move through the space.
Common areas
Lobbies, corridors, stairwells and other shared spaces in commercial buildings. These areas see heavy traffic, so we focus on durable finishes and neat work around doors, railings and signage.
Surface preparation
Commercial walls often carry old patches, wall anchors and tape residue. We fill holes, repair cracks and minor drywall damage, and sand the surface so the final coat looks even across long runs of wall.
Project planning and scheduling
Every business runs differently. At the estimate we talk through your hours, the areas that need to stay usable and the order rooms should be done in, then build a plan that's realistic for both sides.
Protecting your space
Desks, shelving, flooring and equipment are covered, and work areas are kept organized. We clean up as we go so the parts of your space that are still in use stay presentable.
Our process
How a Commercial Project Comes Together
Preparation, painting and finishing, in the order that makes the result last.
- 01
Site visit and scope
We walk the space with you, note the surfaces, repairs and any areas with special requirements, and ask how the business operates day to day. That conversation shapes the proposal and the plan that follows.
- 02
Written proposal and plan
You receive an accurate written proposal covering the scope, the products and structured payment stages. We also agree on a work plan, including which areas get painted first and how access will work.
- 03
Prep and paint
We protect furniture, floors and fixtures, carry out repairs and sanding, then paint. The crew keeps the site clean and organized throughout, since your staff, customers or tenants may be working nearby.
- 04
Final walkthrough
When the painting is done, we walk the space with you or your property manager, touch up anything that needs it and leave the rooms clean and ready for business as usual.
Ottawa considerations
Commercial Painting Across Ottawa
Ottawa winters are hard on commercial entrances. Salt, slush and grit get tracked in all season, and the walls, door frames and baseboards near the front door show it first. We look closely at these high-traffic spots and recommend finishes that can be cleaned without wearing through. Because interior work doesn't depend on the weather, a commercial project can often be planned for a time of year that suits your business.
Scheduling is always a conversation with us. Whether any work can happen outside your regular business hours is something we'll talk through at the estimate rather than promise up front. You can reach us Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. To get started, request a commercial estimate or contact us with questions.
Important
Scheduling around your business hours is something we plan together at the estimate stage. Tell us which areas must stay open, when your busiest times are and any building rules we should know about, and we'll be upfront about what's workable.
What types of commercial spaces do you paint?
We focus on interior work in offices, retail stores, business premises and building common areas such as lobbies, halls and stairwells. If your project is something different, describe it on the request form and we'll tell you honestly whether it's a good fit for our crew.
Can you work around our business hours?
That's something we discuss during the estimate. We'll look at your operating hours, which areas need to stay usable and how the work could be phased. Once we understand your needs, we'll tell you what's realistic before anything goes into the proposal.
Are you licensed and insured for commercial work?
Maple City Painters is fully licensed and insured, and we're a BBB Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau of Greater Ottawa. If your landlord or property manager needs paperwork before work starts, mention it when you book the estimate.
How is a commercial painting job priced?
Every project gets a free estimate and an accurate written proposal based on the actual space, surfaces and prep involved. Payment is split into structured stages, so you know what's due at each point. Our prices are fair and competitive, and nothing is left vague once the proposal is in your hands.
