5 Signs It’s Time to Repaint Your Commercial Interior

February 1, 2025

The appearance of your commercial space plays a major role in how customers, employees, and visitors perceive your business. Clean, well-maintained walls create a professional and inviting atmosphere, while outdated or worn-out paint can make even the best-run business feel neglected.

If you're wondering whether it's time for a paint refresh, here are five clear signs your commercial interior could benefit from a fresh coat of paint.

1. Fading, Yellowing, or Discolored Walls

Over time, commercial interiors are exposed to UV light, humidity, and everyday wear, which can cause paint to fade, yellow, or discolor.

This is especially common in:

Office buildings with lots of natural light, where UV rays break down paint pigments.
Restaurants and kitchens, where grease, smoke, and heat impact walls.
Retail stores and showrooms, where bright lighting can dull paint over time.

If your walls no longer look fresh and vibrant, it’s a sign that a new coat of high-quality, fade-resistant paint is needed.

2. Scuffs, Stains, and Visible Wear in High-Traffic Areas

Walls in high-traffic areas take a beating, especially in:

Hallways and corridors, where employees and customers frequently pass through.
Waiting areas and lobbies, where furniture and foot traffic cause scuff marks.
Conference rooms and break rooms, where spills, stains, and general wear accumulate.

If regular cleaning no longer removes marks and stains, or if walls look worn despite maintenance, a fresh coat of durable, commercial-grade paint will restore a clean, professional appearance.

3. Peeling, Cracking, or Bubbling Paint

Peeling or cracking paint isn’t just unsightly—it’s a sign of deeper issues, such as:

Humidity and moisture problems, common in restrooms, kitchens, and basements.
Inferior or outdated paint that lacks durability.
Poor previous paint jobs, where improper prep led to adhesion problems.

If you notice flaking, cracking, or bubbling, don’t ignore it. These issues only get worse over time, potentially leading to costly repairs if left unaddressed. A properly prepped and professionally painted interior will eliminate these problems and protect your walls.

4. Outdated Colors That No Longer Match Your Brand

The colors in your workspace should align with your brand identity and contribute to a modern, welcoming environment. If your walls are:

Dated or inconsistent with your current branding,
Too dark, making your space feel smaller or uninviting, or
Uninspiring for employees and customers,

…it may be time for a color refresh. Many businesses update their interior colors to boost productivity, enhance customer experience, or reflect a rebrand. Professional painters can help select the best shades for your industry and space.

5. Employees or Customers Are Noticing the Condition of Your Walls

Have employees or customers commented on dirty, chipped, or worn-out walls? If the condition of your interior is noticeable enough to be mentioned, it’s time for an update.

A freshly painted space can:

Improve customer perception, reinforcing professionalism and attention to detail.
Boost employee morale, making the workspace more inviting and motivating.
Refresh the overall atmosphere, creating a cleaner, more polished business environment.

A Fresh Pastel Green Update in Nampa

September 5, 2025

Full exterior repaint brings new life to a Nampa neighborhood home At Spray ’n Coat Painting, we know that color can completely change how a home feels. For this Nampa homeowner, it was time to say goodbye to the dated tan and bring in something brighter and more cheerful. A full exterior repaint in a fresh pastel green paired with crisp ultra-pure white trim gave this home a lively new look while still feeling timeless in the neighborhood. The Scope Complete exterior repaint with repairs and prep This project involved a full repaint of the siding, trim, fascia, soffits, gutters, downspouts, and doors. Before painting, our crew filled holes along the right side of the home where an old cable had been removed, reinstalled the dryer vent, and backrolled the entire bottom edge of the home for smooth, even coverage. The System Durable coatings and careful prep for lasting results We applied pastel green as the body color, matching the soffits, front door, garage doors, and man doors to keep a clean, consistent look. The window trim, fascia, and gutters were finished in ultra-pure white for a bright, modern contrast. To ensure proper adhesion, we also primed the factory-finished gutters before painting.

Durable Shop Floor Coating in Marsing, Idaho

September 5, 2025

A high-performance floor system for a large 2,400 sq. ft. shop We recently completed a floor coating project in Marsing for a homeowner with a spacious 2,400 sq. ft. shop. With a space this large, the homeowner needed a floor that could handle heavy use, resist staining, and still look professional. They reached out to Spray ’n Coat Painting for a better-than-epoxy solution that would be durable, easy to maintain, and visually appealing. Here’s What We Did Surface Prep and Grinding: We started by diamond grinding the entire shop floor to open up the concrete and create a proper surface for adhesion. Any imperfections were repaired to ensure the coating bonded securely. Base Coat and Decorative Flake: Once the surface was prepped, we applied our industrial-grade polyurea base coat, followed by a full broadcast of our popular Keystone chip blend. This decorative flake system not only adds traction but also provides a clean, modern look that complements a wide range of shop uses. Protective Topcoat: To finish, we installed a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. This protective layer seals everything in, delivering long-term resistance against abrasions, chemicals, and Idaho’s extreme temperature swings, while also making the floor much easier to clean.

From DIY to Designer Finish in This Meridian Kitchen

September 5, 2025

A sleek cabinet makeover with soft-close upgrades and a professionally painted finish When this Meridian homeowner reached out, they had already attempted to repaint their kitchen cabinets on their own—but weren’t happy with how things were turning out. They knew they wanted a crisp, professional look and upgraded functionality. That’s where our cabinet refinishing team stepped in. We refinished all 16 cabinet doors and 14 drawer fronts in a rich charcoal hue, paired with new soft-close micro hinges to give the entire space a polished, high-end feel. The darker tone added contrast and elegance, creating the elevated finish they had originally envisioned. The Scope A full kitchen cabinet repaint with soft-close hardware installation This project included: 16 cabinet doors 14 drawer fronts Removal of old hinges and installation of new soft-close micro hinges All surfaces were cleaned, sanded, primed, and professionally sprayed using our factory-grade cabinet finish system for long-term durability and a beautiful satin sheen. The System A smooth, durable finish designed for everyday use We used a premium 2K waterborne polyurethane system from Gemini that cures harder and holds up better than traditional lacquer finishes. Unlike pre-cat lacquers or conversion varnishes that may yellow or crack over time, this cabinet-grade system resists chipping and stays looking new for years to come.

A durable, non-slip floor coating system for a high-traffic processing facility in Kuna

September 5, 2025

When CS Beef Packers reached out about coating specific walkways and restroom entry points in their Kuna facility, the priority was clear—improving safety and durability in areas exposed to constant foot traffic. This fast-paced industrial environment required a non-slip solution that could be installed quickly without compromising performance. We were glad to deliver a clean, safe, and long-lasting result. The Scope Strategic surface coating in hallways and entry areas This commercial floor coating project focused on two main hallway sections of approximately 100 square feet each , along with four restroom/locker room entry areas , ranging from 50–65 square feet per section. Our team completed all work in a single Saturday , carefully stopping at natural breaks in the concrete for a seamless finish that blended well with the surrounding flooring. The System Industrial-grade coating built for traction and longevity To ensure long-term adhesion and optimal performance, we followed a multi-step process designed specifically for non-slip protection in commercial environments: Surface Prep : Concrete was aggressively sanded and ground to remove all existing coatings, wax, and surface contaminants. Epoxy Primer/Base Coat : A base layer of epoxy was applied directly to the bare concrete for strong bonding and as the foundation of the system. Quartz Broadcast : We applied a full broadcast of 50/70 mesh quartz sand into the wet epoxy to create a high-traction, textured surface. Topcoat : The system was completed with a light grey epoxy topcoat for added durability, visual clarity, and easy maintenance.

Restoring a Sun-Faded Wood Door in Middleton, Idaho

August 4, 2025

Spray ’n Coat Painting recently completed a wood door refinishing project for a homeowner in Middleton, Idaho. Over time, their beautiful solid wood front door had faded and weathered from sun exposure—something we see often across the Treasure Valley. But rather than replace the door, the homeowner reached out to us to restore its appearance and match the interior wood tones for a cohesive look inside and out. Here’s What We Did We began by carefully sanding the front door and surrounding trim to remove the worn finish and prepare the surface for new stain. Before proceeding with the full application, we tested a sample stain on a small section of the door to make sure it matched the interior tones. Once approved by the homeowner, we applied stain across the entire door surface while keeping the door in place. After allowing proper dry time, we returned to apply two coats of a UV-stable clear finish. This protective layer will help preserve the color, protect against sun damage, and keep the door looking beautiful for years to come. Why Staining Is Better Than Replacing Many homeowners assume a worn or faded door needs to be replaced—but most solid wood doors just need the right restoration process. Staining not only revives the wood’s natural beauty, but also allows you to better control color tone and finish. It’s a more sustainable and cost-effective way to maintain curb appeal and protect your home’s entryway. Our UV-stable clear coats are especially important in areas like Middleton, where intense sunlight can break down traditional sealants and finishes over time.
