Before you request a proposal

What a commercial painting quote should include

Two bids are only comparable when they cover the same surfaces, preparation and work conditions.

  • Walls, ceilings, doors, frames, trim and exterior surfaces included or excluded
  • Substrate condition, repairs, cleaning, primer and coating specifications
  • Tenant or business hours, restricted access, elevators, parking and security
  • Protection of equipment, fixtures, floors, exits and occupied spaces
  • Required insurance, WCB and site-specific safety documents to verify directly
  • Target work window, staging, cleanup, inspection and GST treatment

For a condo corporation, see the common-area and board approval checklist. For measurement and quote comparisons, see the Calgary painting cost guide.

Referral process

How a commercial painting request is evaluated

  1. Step 1: Describe the building and work

    Include the project type, estimated area, scope, access rules and the decision-maker or site contact.

  2. Step 2: Confirm contractor suitability

    A proposed independent contractor must confirm their service scope, availability and required documentation. No match or response time is guaranteed.

  3. Step 3: Request a site-based written proposal

    Confirm preparation, products, protection, work hours, exclusions and any phased schedule with the contractor.

  4. Step 4: Verify and decide

    Check credentials, insurance and references directly. The painting agreement and payment are between you and the contractor.

Buyer questions

Commercial painting quote FAQs

How do I request a commercial painting quote in Calgary?
Identify the property type, address or neighbourhood, approximate areas, surfaces, condition, occupied hours and preferred project window. Note any site-access or documentation requirements. This site is a referral service; an independent contractor must confirm whether they can assess and quote the project.
Can an occupied Calgary office or retail space be painted after hours?
Possibly, but evening or weekend work is not guaranteed. Give the operating hours, tenant restrictions, security and ventilation requirements in your request. The painter must confirm availability and an acceptable phased work plan.
What should a property manager include in a painting request for proposal?
Provide the building and floor plan, surfaces and exclusions, required preparation, coating specification if available, access windows, tenant notice rules, protection, waste handling and any insurance or WCB documentation you require. Ask the contractor to verify credentials and provide a written scope before an award.
How are commercial painting costs calculated?
Prices depend on actual paintable area, substrate repairs, coating system, ceilings and trim, working height, access, occupied-building constraints and required work windows. Floor area alone is not a reliable painting quantity. Compare itemized written proposals, including GST and exclusions.
Can I request a quote for a tenant turnover or office fit-out?
You can describe the repaint or tenant-improvement scope, possession date and sequencing dependencies. Whether a painter can meet the deadline, handle new drywall or coordinate with other trades must be confirmed directly. No turnaround is promised by this referral service.
Do you arrange industrial coatings, epoxy floors or high-rise work?
Those are specialized scopes that require specific experience, equipment and safety documentation. Do not assume they are available. State the exact requirement so it can be reviewed for contractor suitability before any referral.
