The paint is the easy part. The hard part is not shutting down your business to get it done. We schedule commercial work around your hours, keep the site clean and open, and coordinate through one point of contact so your tenants and customers barely notice we were there.
Work scheduled around your business hours, including after-hours and weekends
One point of contact for property managers, no rotating crews or sales handoffs
Bonded and insured, certificates of insurance provided for your building's file
What a commercial painting contractor in Phoenix actually has to solve
You need a commercial space painted and the real problem isn't the paint, it's doing it without closing your doors. Whether you manage a multifamily community, run a retail storefront, or oversee an office suite, a repaint that drags on or blocks your entrance costs you more than the job itself. Novak Painting Group handles commercial work as a coordinated project: we walk the site, build a scope and schedule around your operating hours, run one crew through one point of contact, and keep the space clean and usable while we work. Bonded and insured, owner involved, and every walkthrough estimate is free.
Owner Cody Novak walks the property and scopes the work in person, so property managers get a real number and a real timeline instead of a phone guess. Need a certificate of insurance for your building's vendor file before we set foot on site? We provide one. No call center, no commissioned salesperson, no upsell script.
What commercial demands
Why commercial painting is a different job than a house repaint
A commercial repaint isn't a bigger house. The paint is comparable, but the constraints are entirely different: your business has to keep running, your tenants have to keep living there, and your customers still have to walk through the door. Here's where the actual work lives.
01
Scheduling around your operation
The single biggest difference is timing. We plan the sequence so painting happens when it hurts your business least: after-hours for a retail floor, weekends for an office, one building or wing at a time for a multifamily community. You tell us your hours and traffic patterns, and the schedule gets built around them, not the other way around.
02
Minimal tenant and customer disruption
An occupied property can't become a job site. We contain the work area, keep entrances and walkways open and safe, control fumes and overspray, and clean up daily so common areas stay usable. For multifamily, that means residents still get to their units without stepping over drop cloths and equipment.
03
One point of contact, start to finish
Property managers don't have time to chase a rotating cast. You get one point of contact who knows your scope, your schedule, and your building's access rules, from the walkthrough through the final walk. No sales handoff to a crew that never heard your requirements.
04
Insurance and site documentation
Commercial and property-management clients almost always need a certificate of insurance on file before a vendor works the property. Novak Painting Group is bonded and insured, and we provide a COI naming your entity so your building's paperwork is squared away before day one.
SELECTED WORK
Four spaces. One consistent standard.
A compact look at recent exterior, interior, and whole-home finishes completed across Greater Phoenix.
Here's how a Novak commercial job actually runs, so a property manager knows exactly what to expect before signing off.
1. Site walkthrough and scope. Cody walks the property with you, measures the areas in play, checks surface conditions, and notes access points, operating hours, and any tenant or safety constraints. That in-person walk is what the estimate and the schedule are built on, not a square-foot guess over the phone.
2. Certificate of insurance and paperwork. Before anyone works the site, we provide a certificate of insurance naming your entity for the building's vendor file, and we confirm access, badging, or key requirements so day one runs clean.
3. Schedule around your hours. We lock in a sequence that keeps your operation running: after-hours or weekend blocks for offices and retail, phased building-by-building or wing-by-wing timing for multifamily, so no single area is ever fully offline.
4. Contain, prep, and coat. We mask and protect floors, fixtures, signage, and landscaping, prep the surfaces properly for Arizona sun and the surface type, then coat with commercial-grade product. Daily cleanup keeps common areas open and safe the whole way through.
5. Final walk and documentation. We walk the finished work with you, hit any punch-list items, and leave the site clean. You get a project you can sign off on and paperwork your building can file.
On cost: nobody can quote commercial work honestly without walking it. What moves the number is total square footage, interior versus exterior versus both, surface condition and how much prep it needs, ceiling and wall heights and whether lifts or staging are required, how many colors and finishes are in the spec, and how tight the after-hours scheduling window has to be. That's exactly why the walkthrough estimate is free and done on site. Call (715) 223-7083 and we'll come walk it before quoting.
What you get
Offices, retail, and multifamily, painted around your business
The value here is coordination under real-world constraints. You're not just buying paint, you're buying a crew that can get it done without your operation grinding to a halt. Here's the commercial work we handle, plus one honest note on when we're not the right call.
01
Multifamily and property management
Apartment communities, condo associations, and HOA-managed properties: unit turns, common areas, hallways, stairwells, and full exterior repaints phased so residents keep normal access. We work through the property manager as one point of contact from walk to final sign-off.
02
Office and commercial interiors
Suites, lobbies, conference rooms, and corridors painted after-hours or over a weekend so your team walks back into a finished space Monday. We contain the work zone and control fumes so the rest of the floor keeps running while we go.
03
Retail and commercial exteriors
Storefronts, facades, and building exteriors coated with UV-resistant product built for Arizona sun. As a commercial exterior painter we schedule around your busiest hours and keep entrances open, so a repaint never turns customers away at the door.
04
When we're not the right fit
Straight talk: if your project needs licensed general-contractor trades bundled in, like structural, electrical, or major stucco reconstruction beyond paint prep, we'll tell you that up front and point you toward the right partner. We're a painting contractor. We do painting at a high level and we won't pretend a job is ours when it isn't.

We paint commercial and multifamily properties throughout Phoenix and across the Valley: Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, Avondale, and Paradise Valley.

Frequently Asked
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do commercial painters charge in Phoenix?+
There's no honest flat rate, because commercial jobs vary far more than houses. What moves the number is total square footage, whether it's interior, exterior, or both, how much prep the surfaces need, ceiling and wall heights and whether lifts or staging are required, the number of colors and finishes in the spec, and how tight your after-hours scheduling window is. That's why we don't quote commercial work sight unseen. The walkthrough estimate is free and done on site so the number reflects your actual property. Call (715) 223-7083 to set one up.
What paperwork do you carry for commercial painting in Arizona?+
Novak Painting Group is bonded and insured, and we provide a certificate of insurance naming your entity for your building's vendor file before we start. That certificate, along with our bonding, is what property managers and commercial clients actually ask for to protect the property and clear a vendor for the site. If your specific project scope calls for licensed general-contractor trades bundled in beyond painting, we'll tell you that up front during the walkthrough so nothing gets misrepresented. Call (715) 223-7083 and we'll walk through exactly what your property needs on paper before day one.
Can you paint our property without shutting down our business?+
Yes, that's the core of how we run commercial work. We build the schedule around your operating hours instead of forcing you around ours: after-hours or weekend blocks for offices and retail, and phased building-by-building or wing-by-wing timing for multifamily so no area is ever fully offline. We contain the work zone, keep entrances and walkways open and safe, control fumes and overspray, and clean up daily. The goal is that your tenants and customers barely notice we're on site.
Do you paint apartment communities and work with property managers?+
Yes. Multifamily and property-management work is a big part of what we do: unit turns, common areas, hallways, stairwells, and phased exterior repaints coordinated so residents keep normal access the whole time. Property managers get one point of contact from the walkthrough through final sign-off, so you're not chasing a rotating crew or repeating your requirements. We also provide a certificate of insurance naming your entity for the property's vendor file before any work starts.
Can you schedule commercial painting after hours or on weekends?+
We can, and for most occupied commercial spaces it's the right call. Retail floors and offices usually get painted after-hours or over a weekend so your team and customers walk into a finished space with zero downtime during business hours. For multifamily, we phase the work by building or wing so no single area is closed off at once. You tell us your hours and traffic patterns at the walkthrough, and the schedule gets built around them.
Will you provide a certificate of insurance for our building?+
Yes. Novak Painting Group is bonded and insured, and we provide a certificate of insurance naming your entity for your building's vendor file before we set foot on the property. Most commercial and property-management clients require a COI on record to clear a vendor, so we handle that as a routine part of getting a project started. Ask for it at the walkthrough and we'll have it ready before day one.
