Choosing a painting contractor can be a big decision — whether you’re updating your home or improving a commercial space. But how do you know if your painter is the right fit for your specific type of project? Let’s break it down.
What’s the Difference Between Residential and Commercial Painting?
While the end goal is the same — a clean, high-quality finish — the process, materials, and expectations can vary between residential and commercial projects.
🏡 Residential Painting
Residential painting focuses on homes, townhouses, condos, and apartments. Projects usually include:
-
Interior walls and ceilings
-
Exterior siding and trim
-
Cabinets and doors
-
Decks and fences
Homeowners often look for:
✔️ A personal, consultative approach
✔️ Color selection guidance
✔️ Minimal disruption to their daily life
✔️ Clean, respectful workspaces
At Top Notch Painting & Construction LLC, we understand your home is your sanctuary — and we treat it that way.
🏢 Commercial Painting
Commercial projects include offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and apartment complexes. These jobs tend to be larger in scale and may require:
-
Specialized coatings
-
Safety compliance and insurance
-
Scheduling around business hours
-
Working with property managers or facility teams
Business owners value:
✔️ Fast, reliable turnaround
✔️ Professional finishes that reflect their brand
✔️ Clear communication and project timelines
✔️ Fully licensed and insured crews
Our commercial clients trust us to get the job done right — on time and with minimal disruption to their operation.
