Commercial Exterior Painting
Commercial Exterior Painting for the Golden Isles
Serving St. Simons Island • Sea Island • Jekyll Island • Brunswick • Darien
Coastal weather does not care about your building’s paint job
Salt air, humidity, and year-round sunshine are great for tourism.
Not great for exterior paint.
We’ve heard business owners say:
“We knew the color was fading, but we didn’t realize how much damage was hiding underneath.”
One of our crew leaders shared a story from another commercial painter he met at a supplier event. The contractor explained how a storefront he worked on near a marina had paint literally peel away when he pressure washed, not because the paint was old, but because salt had worked its way behind the coating. The business owner didn’t notice anything until the paint started curling at the edges.
We hear versions of that story every year.
That’s why commercial exterior painting on the Georgia coast isn’t just about appearance.
It’s about protection.
Paint is the first shield between your building and the coast. Especially in the Golden Isles.
Why businesses trust local commercial painting contractors
Commercial properties have different needs than residential homes. Businesses care about:
- Keeping operations running without disruption
- A predictable timeline
- Durability and performance, not just color
We handle that by starting every project the same way:
- Pressure washing to remove pollen, mold, salt, and old residue
- Surface preparation, scraping, sanding, repairing
- Protective coatings designed to resist moisture and UV exposure

Commercial Building Exterior Painting
Make the outside match the business you’ve built inside
From office buildings in Brunswick to retail spaces on St. Simons, commercial exterior painting is about confidence. People judge a business before they walk in the door.
Commercial painting includes:
- Storefronts
- Office buildings
- Restaurants and cafes
- Medical offices
- Stand-alone commercial buildings
When we walk the property, we look for peeling paint, water intrusion points, rust on metal trim, and surfaces that will need extra prep. In coastal areas like Sea Island or Darien GA, buildings take more damage from wind-driven rain than most owners realize.
A property manager on Jekyll Island told us that after repainting, their tenants said customers stopped confusing the building for a vacant space. No marketing strategy needed, just exterior maintenance.
Light Industrial and Warehouse Painting
Function first, appearance is next
Industrial and warehouse buildings are exposed to sunlight and salt air all day long. The materials used on these buildings (metal, concrete block, steel doors) require coatings that bond tightly and resist corrosion.
Our team focuses on:
- Cleaning off rust and oxidation
- Applying industrial-grade primers
- Using coatings that hold up to chemicals, rain, and humidity
One estimator on our team likes to joke that metal siding shows no mercy, if moisture gets behind paint, it spreads quickly. On the flip side, when we prep correctly and apply the right coating, the building looks sharp for years.
Industrial painters don’t get creative; we get reliable results.
Apartment Complex & Multi-Unit Building Painting
A fresh exterior boosts property value and occupancy rates
Painting apartment buildings or condos is part logistics, part communication, and part weather planning.
These projects usually involve:
- Painting stair railings and balcony railings
- Concrete walkways
- Exterior unit doors and siding
- Community buildings or pool structures
We schedule work around resident activity, deliveries, and parking.
No surprises. No frustration.
Property managers especially appreciate how we handle communication. We leave notices, work in sections, and walk units with the manager before we wrap up.
Multi-unit exterior painting is common near St. Simons Island’s short-term rental communities. Owners want a clean, updated look because they know guests choose based on the first impression, long before they read reviews.
What all commercial exterior painting projects include
Regardless of the building type, our process stays the same.
Pressure Washing
We remove pollen, mildew, mold, marine residue, and salt buildup.
Paint will not bond if the surface isn’t clean.
Surface Preparation
Prep determines how long the coating lasts. It includes scraping loose paint, sanding, caulking, and spot-priming exposed areas.
Protective Coatings
We use paints and sealants designed to handle sunlight, humidity, and coastal conditions.
That means fewer repaints and longer protection.
Local commercial painters in the Golden Isles don’t get second chances, the weather exposes mistakes fast.
Why coastal commercial properties repaint more often
We tell business owners one simple thing:
“The coast will tell you when it’s time.”
Clues include:
- Peeling or bubbling paint
- Fading color on the sun-facing side
- Rust spots on metal trim
- Mildew on siding or stucco
Paint delays lead to repairs.
Paint on time, and you protect the building instead of patching damage later.
Local experience matters
We paint where we live, not in some inland climate.
We’ve painted:
- Coastal storefronts on St. Simons
- Condos in Brunswick
- Warehouses near industrial areas in Darien
- Office buildings and commercial complexes throughout the Golden Isles
There’s a reason local business owners prefer working with painters who understand weather patterns and ocean exposure.
