Commercial Exterior Painting

Exterior painting that protects your investments and your reputation.

Everyone wants their property to make a strong first impression. A clean, well-maintained exterior shows pride in your facility, plus protects your investment (and maintenance budget) over time. 


But when you're busy managing daily operations, it’s easy for exterior upkeep to fall off the radar.


At ELCO Painting, we make it just as easy to get back on track, with commercial exterior painting services that are professional and hassle-free. And with over 45 years of experience in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Southern Massachusetts, we know how to manage the details so you can focus on your business—not the jobsite.


This includes:


  • Thorough surface prep and repairs to protect against future damage
  • High-performance coatings built for New England’s toughest weather
  • Scheduling that works around your hours and keeps downtime minimal
  • Safety compliance, permits, and full project management from start to finish


Why Commercial Exterior Painting Matters
