Office & Retail Painting in Edmonton

Repainting a business is a scheduling problem as much as a painting one. You cannot close for a week, and customers should never walk into a half-finished space. We work around your hours so the doors stay open.

Why commercial is different

The painting is straightforward. The coordination is the job.

A retail unit has fixtures, stock, and trading hours. A clinic has infection control and patient schedules. A restaurant has a health inspection to think about. The paint is the easy part — planning around all of that is what you are actually hiring for.

Work happens around your hours

Evenings, overnight, or weekends, so you do not lose trading days or send staff home.

Insured and WCB covered

Certificates provided up front for your records, your landlord, or your building's contractor requirements.

Low-odour, fast-return products

Specified so the space is usable the next morning rather than smelling of solvent for a week.

What's included

How we work in an operating business.

Everything is planned around the space still being used. You get a schedule you can share with staff, and a crew that keeps to it.

Finishes

Coatings chosen for how the space is used.

Commercial spaces get touched constantly and cleaned aggressively. Sheen and product grade matter more here than in a house.

Customer areas

Washable matte or eggshell

A soft finish for walls people see, in a commercial-grade product that still takes regular cleaning without burnishing.

  • Hides wall imperfections
  • Still cleanable
  • Best for showrooms and offices
High traffic

Scrubbable satin

For corridors, waiting rooms, and anywhere shoulders, carts, and chair backs make contact with the wall daily.

  • Stands up to scrubbing
  • Best for corridors
  • Good moisture resistance
Wet & clinical

Semi-gloss / epoxy

For washrooms, kitchens, prep areas, and clinical spaces where surfaces are washed down and moisture is constant.

  • Maximum washability
  • Moisture and chemical resistant
  • Suits food and clinical areas
How it works

From site walk to open for business.

  1. Site walkWe look at the space, your hours, access, parking, and any restrictions on noise or odour.
  2. Written scope and scheduleAreas, sequence, shift times, products, and price — set out so you can share it with staff or your landlord.
  3. Protect and prepFixtures covered, areas contained, and surfaces repaired and prepped ahead of coating.
  4. Paint on your scheduleWork runs in the agreed windows, with the space reset and usable before you open each day.
  5. Walkthrough and sign-offWe walk the finished space with you and deal with anything on your list before invoicing.

Pricing

What commercial painting costs in Edmonton.

Commercial work is quoted per project rather than by a standard rate. Wall area matters, but so does access, ceiling height, how much furniture moves, and whether the work runs during the day or after hours.

Area and ceiling heightHigh ceilings mean lifts or staging, which adds setup time to every area.
After-hours workEvening, overnight, and weekend shifts are priced accordingly — but usually cost less than closing.
Prep and repairOld fixing holes, high-traffic scuffing, and previous tenant damage all add prep before coating.
Occupied or vacantA vacant unit between tenants is quicker and cheaper than working around stock and customers.

Can you paint outside our business hours?

Yes — most of our commercial work runs evenings, overnight, or on weekends specifically so you do not lose trading days. Tell us your hours, your access arrangements, and any noise restrictions from your landlord or neighbours, and we will build the schedule around them.

How disruptive is it?

Less than most people expect when it is planned properly. We contain and sign work areas, protect fixtures and stock, and reset the space at the end of every shift rather than only at the end of the job. With low-odour products, a space painted overnight is normally ready for customers in the morning.

Do you carry insurance and WCB coverage?

Yes. Kodiak Painting is a licensed and insured painting contractor with liability coverage in place and WCB-covered crews. We can provide current certificates up front — most commercial landlords and property managers ask for them before work starts, so we send them with the quote.

Can you match our brand colours?

Yes. Send the paint codes or the brand spec sheet and we will order to it. If you do not have codes, we can colour-match from a physical sample such as a piece of signage, a fixture panel, or a section of existing wall.

Do you work on tenant improvements and fit-outs?

Yes, and a vacant unit between tenants is the easiest and most economical time to paint — no stock to work around, no trading hours to protect, and full access to every wall. If you are coordinating with other trades we will fit into the programme.

What about restaurants and clinics?

Both are common for us and both have specific requirements — washable, moisture-resistant coatings in kitchens and prep areas, and low-odour products with careful containment in clinical spaces. Tell us about any health or infection-control requirements at the site walk and we will specify accordingly.
