Commercial Painting

Customers’ first impressions of your business are shaped largely by the appearance of your building. In many cases, a simple paint job can make a remarkable transformation. Our philosophy is that a job well done is the best advertising — and the commercial painters at OCanada Contractors always perform to the highest standards.

Interior and Exterior Painting

Our commercial painters specialize in both interior and exterior painting. No matter if your office needs an update to create a more welcoming atmosphere, or you need to paint an entire warehouse or the facade of your building, OCanada Contractors can help.

Specialist Commercial Projects

Our team of commercial painters possesses a diverse set of skills, allowing us to offer specific services just for commercial applications. For instance, if you have a bar or restaurant, we will assign painters who are experts in dealing with the unique challenges within these establishments. As well as logo painting, only performed by our most experienced logo painters. Edmonton businesses use this service to ensure their location gets noticed.

Our commercial painters are also knowledgeable about the different types of paints that will best suit your needs. For example, we can use anti-graffiti paint in places where vandalism is a concern to reduce the risk that you’ll need another paint job to rectify the graffiti. We can also use zero-VOC products to help eliminate paint smells and headaches. This product is perfect for avoiding downtime and keeping spaces such as schools and health centres comfortable.

A Full Service

At OCanada Contractors, we do far more than just paint. We provide total surface preparation to Master Painter Institute (MPI) standards, repairing and cleaning the surface. After we finish painting, we clean up — and it’s like we were never even there!
