Independent and faith-based schools, preschools and daycares, tutoring and learning centers, and campus buildings around College Park all have the same constraint: the work has to happen when children are not there, and the rooms have to be ready and fully cured when they come back.
We plan school work months ahead for summer and winter breaks, and handle smaller projects over weekends during the year. Gymnasiums follow our gym painting approach, schools that share a building with a congregation often combine work with religious institution painting, and wall damage from a school year is repaired with drywall repair before painting.

Local insight: school painting
Older schools and daycares fall under lead rules
A building built before 1978 that children under six use regularly, such as a preschool, daycare or kindergarten wing, is a child-occupied facility under the EPA lead renovation rule. Disturbing paint there requires lead-safe work practices. We ask about building age and who uses each space at the walkthrough.
The summer window goes fast
Between the last day of school in June and teachers setting up rooms in August, schools have maybe eight weeks. Floors, IT and furniture work all compete for that window. Schools that book painting in winter get the dates they want.
Cure time matters as much as dry time
Paint that feels dry can still be soft, and doors or lockers painted too close to reopening can stick shut or mark easily. We schedule so coatings have days, not hours, to cure before rooms are set up.

School and daycare painting questions
Do your crews meet our background check requirements?
If your school requires background checks, badging or sign-in procedures for contractors, tell us at the walkthrough and we will staff and schedule the job to meet them.
Can you paint during the school year?
Yes, on weekends and holidays for smaller projects, with rooms cleaned and ready for Monday.
What paint do you use in classrooms?
Zero-VOC or low-VOC washable finishes, with semi-gloss or enamel on doors, trim and lockers.
