Managing commercial properties in North Texas requires more than reactive maintenance. The right painting strategy protects your building, enhances its image, and helps control long-term costs. Here’s what every property manager in Dallas–Fort Worth should know about commercial painting, based on real Nomad Coatings projects across the region.
Why Is Proper Commercial Painting So Important?
A professional paint system does more than improve appearance — it extends your building’s lifespan by 5–10+ years and protects surfaces from UV, moisture, and chemical exposure common in Texas’ climate.
In Dallas and Fort Worth, daily temperature swings and high UV exposure are harsh on coatings. Without the right prep and product selection, paint can fail within two years.
Nomad Coatings uses industrial-grade systems compliant with OSHA standards, focusing on safety, adhesion, and environmental control.
“Painting is not cosmetic. It’s part of the building’s protection system. A poor paint job might cost less upfront, but it’ll cost double when you redo it early.”
— Andrey Shelokovskiy, GM, Nomad Coatings
Real example:
At Watermark Church (Dallas, TX), Nomad Coatings restored the weathered siding with a transparent stain system, bringing back the wood’s natural depth and extending protection against UV exposure and rain by another decade. The project was completed without interrupting weekend services — a perfect example of coordinated commercial work.
What Types of Commercial Properties Require Painting Most Often?
Industrial, retail, office, and institutional properties benefit most — each with unique coating requirements and repaint cycles.
| Property Type | Recommended System | Average Repaint Cycle |
| Industrial Facilities | Epoxy floor & Pro Industrial multi-surface | 7–10 years |
| Office Buildings | Low-VOC acrylic or latex | 5–7 years |
| Healthcare | Antimicrobial, scrubbable coatings | 4–6 years |
| Retail & Restaurants | High-traffic enamel finishes | 3–5 years |
| Schools & Universities | Low-odor, quick-curing paints | ~5 years |
Real example:
The Amazon Distribution Center in Mesquite, TX was fully repainted by Nomad Coatings using Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial Multi-Surface and SuperPaint Exterior. This system now resists forklift emissions, humidity, and constant UV Exposure — giving the client a 10-year protective cycle and consistent brand image across their logistics network.
For the Westin Hotel Rooftop in Irving, TX, timing was critical. Nomad Coatings completed the exterior repaint using Sherwin-Williams Duration Exterior, applying multiple coats in between weather windows while coordinating with hotel management to avoid guest disturbance. The project improved the building’s waterproofing integrity and aesthetic alignment with Westin’s national brand standard.
How Long Does the Commercial Painting Process Take?
Most projects range from 5 days for interiors to 3 weeks for large exteriors, depending on access, weather, and working hours.
Our Typical Workflow
- Inspection & Scope Definition – Site visit, moisture check, safety assessment.
- Surface Preparation – Pressure washing, patching, masking, priming
- Painting & Application – Sprayers or rollers depending on surface type and client requirements.
- Quality Control & Walkthrough – On-site review with the client before demobilization.
- Maintenance Plan – Post-project documentation and future repaint recommendations.
How to Choose the Right Commercial Painting Contractor?
Choose experience, compliance, and consistency over price. The lowest bid often hides costly scope gaps or unqualified crews.
Before hiring, verify:
- Active insurance and OSHA safety certifications.
- Experience in your property type (office, industrial, healthcare, retail, etc.).
- Transparent documentation: daily progress reports and product data sheets.
- Brand partnerships — Sherwin-Williams, PPG, Benjamin Moore.
- Scheduling flexibility — night and weekend work if needed.
At CVS Pharmacy in Arlington, TX, Nomad Coatings handled both the building and lot wash followed by a full exterior repaint using SW Pro Industrial DTM, SW Loxon XP, and A-100 Exterior. Work was completed with zero business interruption — a model for retail chain property maintenance.
What’s the ROI of Professional Painting for Property Managers?
The average ROI of a properly executed commercial repaint is 25–35% in reduced future maintenance and higher tenant retention.
Benefits you can quantify:
- Asset Preservation – Prevents corrosion and water intrusion.
- Brand & Tenant Appeal – Clean, updated buildings attract higher-value tenants.
- Operational Uptime – Flexible scheduling avoids disruptions and lost revenue.
- Compliance & Safety – OSHA-compliant prep and products prevent fines and incidents.
Nomad Coatings repainted the Highland Park High School practice facility (Dallas, TX) using Sherwin-Williams ProMar 200.
The durable finish improved lighting reflection by 20%, reducing the need for artificial lighting and energy costs — a direct operational saving.
At Jake’s Burgers (Frisco, TX), a complete interior repaint with Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint refreshed the space, improving aesthetics.
Every 5–7 years for interiors and 7–10 years for exteriors, depending on exposure and substrate condition.
