Restaurants and Bars Painting Services

Restaurant & Bar Painting Services – Durable, Professional, and Designed for Your Business

Does Your Atmosphere Match the Experience You Want to Offer?


Over time, even the best-designed spaces start to show wear, especially when you experience a lot of foot traffic day after day. It’s good to be busy, but those scuffed walls, faded colors, and outdated finishes can make your restaurant or bar look more tired than inviting.


Need a refresh but worried about downtime?


We get it. A complete shut-down for maintenance painting isn’t an option for most restaurants and bars. That’s why ELCO Painting works on your schedule, offering flexible painting services that keep your operations running smoothly while transforming your space.


Struggling with constant cleaning and maintenance?


We know what works from our direct experience as a Rhode Island commercial painting company, and can help you make the right choices for all your spaces. From washable coatings in the kitchen to durable finishes in dining areas, we use products designed for environments like yours.

Why Restaurant and Bar Painting Requires a Specialized Approach


Painting a food service environment isn’t like painting a standard office or retail space. Restaurants and bars require durability, safety, and a welcoming atmosphere—all while ensuring the work gets done without disrupting your business any more than absolutely necessary.


With over 30 years of experience, ELCO Painting knows how to navigate your unique challenges and considerations. In other words, we can make complex and demanding painting projects feel easy.


We offer a full range of painting and maintenance services, designed to keep your spaces looking their best and right on brand.

What to Expect During Your Bar or Restaurant Painting Project

1. Thorough Inspection and Estimate

When you call us for a painting estimate, you’re getting more than just a price tag—you’re getting a comprehensive assessment of what your space needs to look its best and enjoy long-term performance. We’ll evaluate:


  • Walls, ceilings, bar tops, and dining areas for wear and damage.
  • Any necessary carpentry, refinishing, or maintenance beyond just paint.
  • Durability needs based on traffic, cleaning frequency, and kitchen conditions.


Our goal? A transparent, all-in-one estimate so there are no surprises along the way.

2. Project Planning and Oversight

We know how important timing is in the restaurant industry. That’s why we:


  • Work around your schedule—including nights, weekends, and off-hours.
  • Keep you informed at every step so there are no surprises.
  • Prioritize safety & compliance with on-the-job best practices.


Whether you need a full repaint or just touch-ups, we coordinate every detail to minimize disruption and keep your business running smoothly.

3. Surface Prep, Repair, Painting, and Coating

Great results start with great prep. Before we apply any paint, we:


  • Repair damage to walls, trim, or surfaces for a smooth, professional finish.
  • Prime key areas to ensure the paint adheres properly and lasts longer.
  • Match colors to your branding for a consistent, polished look.
  • Use food-service-safe coatings where needed, ensuring compliance with industry standards.


From dining rooms to kitchens, bar areas to restrooms, we use the right paints and coatings to withstand daily wear, frequent cleaning, and high-traffic conditions.

4. Ongoing Facility Support

A fresh coat of paint is an investment in your business. But wear and tear happens—especially in high-traffic areas. That’s why we offer:


  • Scheduled maintenance plans to keep your space looking its best year-round.
  • Touch-ups & repairs when you need them, without the hassle.
  • Expert advice on coatings, maintenance, and long-term care.


Think of ELCO Painting as your go-to partner for restaurant and bar upkeep. Whether it’s a quick refresh or a full renovation, we’re here to help—long after the paint dries.
