We understand the unique demands of educational environments, from durability in high-traffic hallways to safety in classrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions About School Painting

How often should schools be repainted?

High-traffic interior areas like hallways, cafeterias, and restrooms often require repainting every 2-3 years to maintain a clean and durable finish. Classrooms and administrative offices can typically go 4-5 years. Exteriors in the Pacific Northwest should be evaluated every 5-7 years to ensure proper protection against the weather.

Which coatings are best for classrooms and high-traffic areas?

For high-traffic zones, we recommend premium, scuff-resistant acrylic paints that are highly durable and scrubbable. For areas requiring maximum durability and chemical resistance, such as labs or kitchens, epoxy coatings are an excellent choice. We prioritize low-VOC and zero-VOC products to ensure optimal indoor air quality.

What steps should our school take to prepare for a painting project?

Preparation is key for a smooth project. We recommend communicating the painting schedule clearly to all staff. Before our team arrives, designated areas should be cleared of movable furniture, wall hangings, and sensitive equipment. Our project manager will coordinate with you to create a detailed prep checklist for each phase.
