Commercial Painting
Commercial painting covers offices, retail spaces, new construction, multi-unit turns, and tenant build-outs across DFW. About 90% of our work is for builders and general contractors. We schedule around your phases, maintain repeatable finish quality across units, and show up when we said we would.

- 06Apply finish coats in the agreed sequence and color scheme
- 07Touch up and walk the space with the GC before sign-off

Every estimate is different. These are the factors that move the number on a commercial painting project.
| Factor |
|---|
| Square footage and number of units |
| New construction vs repaint |
| Number of colors and accent areas |
| Ceiling height and access equipment |
| Phase scheduling — nights, weekends, or off-hours |
| Product line per the builder spec |
| Timeline and turnaround requirements |
| Coat count per surface |
No dollar figures here — every project is different. Call for a real number.
On DFW Properties
DFW is one of the fastest-growing multi-family and commercial markets in the country, and phase scheduling is critical — we coordinate with your trades so painting does not hold up the next scope.
North Texas UV and heat degrade exterior coatings on commercial buildings faster, especially on south- and west-facing retail facades.
Newer commercial construction in the Alliance corridor and Southlake uses a mix of stucco, fiber cement, and metal trim that requires different products and prep approaches.
How To Compare Estimates
Not all estimates cover the same work. Here is what to check when comparing bids for commercial painting.
| Whether the crew is the same team every day or rotating subs |
| Phase scheduling flexibility |
| Product line per the builder spec |
| Coat count and where primer is applied |
| How finished work from other trades is protected |
| Daily cleanup and site conduct |
| Touch-up and walk-through process |
| How change orders are handled |
| Timeline commitment |
Common Questions
Yes. We schedule around your operations. For occupied offices, retail spaces, and multi-family turns, we work nights, weekends, or off-hours so your tenants and customers are not disrupted. We discuss scheduling during the estimate.
Reviews
"Very impressed with this company. It is a family. They all play a role. They came to our house to make a bid. I had a price that evening. Once we decided on Cast Castro, we set a date (literally 2 days later!). They arrived on time. They worked as a team, were very professional and meticulous, kept the house as clean as possible, and finished when promised."

"Happy with the professional work Cast Castro did for our exterior paint job and for the right price. They replaced rotted wood, meticulously prepped the house and painted samples on parts of the house to get an idea of the finished work. Cast Castro is thorough in their process."
