All commercial proposals include proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Contact us for a formal written commercial quote.
Commercial Painting Services We Offer
Office and Corporate Interiors
First impressions matter. A well-maintained, freshly painted office builds employee morale and projects professionalism to clients and partners. We paint open-plan offices, executive suites, conference rooms, lobbies, hallways, and break rooms with minimal disruption. Most small-to-medium office repaints can be completed over a weekend.
Retail and Restaurant Painting
Retail and restaurant environments require paints that can handle high-traffic wear, frequent cleaning, and constant humidity exposure. We use commercial-grade, scrub-resistant coatings rated for food-service and high-traffic environments. We work during off-hours — nights, weekends, and early mornings — so your business never loses a day of revenue.
HOA and Multi-Unit Residential
Homeowners associations and property management companies trust Thoresen Painting Co. for consistent, on-schedule common-area repaints. We handle building exteriors, community clubhouses, pool areas, walkways, and interior common spaces. We work with HOA boards to plan phased projects that minimize inconvenience to residents.
Warehouses and Industrial Spaces
We apply commercial epoxy coatings, industrial enamels, and warehouse floor coatings for manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and storage buildings throughout San Diego County. Safety line striping and floor marking available.
New Construction and Developer Projects
We partner with general contractors and developers for new construction painting — both production residential and commercial build-outs. Scheduling coordination, written scope of work, and progress reporting included as standard.
