Answers for business owners, property managers, and commercial tenants in Scranton, PA about commercial interior and exterior painting, surface prep, color matching, and scheduling.
Yes. Scranton Handyman Corporation provides professional commercial interior painting throughout Scranton and the NEPA region. We paint offices, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, medical facilities, hallways, lobbies, and multi-tenant common areas. Call (570) 209-0355 for a free commercial painting estimate.
We paint a wide range of commercial interiors including office buildings, retail storefronts, restaurants, hotel rooms and corridors, medical and dental offices, school classrooms, church sanctuaries, warehouses, storage areas, apartment complex common areas, and commercial kitchens. We tailor our paint selection and prep process to each environment.
Yes. Commercial environments require scrubbable, high-traffic-resistant, durable finishes. We specify and apply commercial-grade paints from trusted brands such as Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore — including their commercial and contractor lines — appropriate for high-use walls, washable surfaces, and moisture-prone areas like restrooms and kitchens.
Yes. We use spectrophotometer color matching to accurately identify and match existing paint colors. This is essential for touch-ups, partial repaints, and repairs where repainting the entire space is not desired. We bring color samples for your approval before proceeding.
Yes. We schedule commercial painting work to minimize disruption — early morning starts, evening and weekend shifts, phased painting by room or section, and low-odor paint options. We understand that your business cannot simply stop for a painting project.
Yes. Scranton Handyman Corporation carries comprehensive general liability insurance for all commercial painting work. We can provide a certificate of insurance for your property records or vendor qualification requirements.
Yes. We paint commercial exterior elements including wood and metal trim, door and window frames, entrance canopies, and accent areas. Exterior commercial painting uses weather-resistant, UV-stable paints appropriate for NEPA's seasonal climate. A freshly painted exterior strengthens your brand image.
A single office or retail room can be completed in one to two days. Larger commercial painting projects — full-floor offices, restaurant dining rooms, apartment hallways — may take three to ten days depending on scope, ceiling height, and surface condition. We provide a realistic timeline with your written estimate.
Yes. Thorough surface prep is what separates a professional paint job from an amateur one. We clean walls, fill holes and cracks, sand rough spots, prime bare or repaired surfaces, caulk gaps around trim and fixtures, and protect floors and furniture with drop cloths before any paint is applied.
In most cases, yes — with proper surface prep. We assess the existing finish, clean and scuff-sand as needed, and prime problem areas before applying new paint. If existing paint is peeling, flaking, or has major adhesion failure, additional prep steps are required, which we identify during the estimate.
Yes. Choosing the right paint colors for a commercial space affects customer perception, employee productivity, and brand identity. We can help guide color selection, provide test patches, and coordinate with your brand standards if color specifications are provided.
Yes. We use extension poles, ladders, and scaffolding to reach high commercial ceilings, stairwells, and vaulted spaces safely. Proper equipment and safety practices are built into our commercial painting process.
Yes. Commercial restrooms, utility rooms, and other moisture-prone areas require mold-resistant primer and semi-gloss or gloss finishes that resist humidity and allow frequent cleaning. We specify the correct products for these environments.
Yes. We apply commercial floor coatings including epoxy and polyurethane finishes on concrete floors in warehouses, garages, retail spaces, and utility areas. Proper surface profiling (grinding or acid etching) is critical for adhesion — we do not skip this step.
Yes. We stand behind our commercial painting workmanship. If paint fails due to our application within the agreed warranty period, we return and correct it at no cost. Material warranties from paint manufacturers also apply to products we specify and apply.
Commercial painting costs depend on square footage, ceiling height, surface condition, number of coats, and paint quality. We provide free written estimates after assessing your space. Per-square-foot pricing varies; we are competitive for the NEPA market and deliver professional results. Call (570) 209-0355.
Yes. We use low-VOC and zero-VOC paint options to minimize odor in occupied commercial spaces. We schedule work by section, communicate with tenants, and maintain safe, clean conditions throughout the project.
Yes. Commercial ceiling painting — flat ceilings, T-bar grid systems, exposed duct ceilings, and concrete slab ceilings — is part of our commercial painting scope. We mask or remove ceiling tiles and grid components as needed for a clean, professional finish.
Yes. Many of our commercial property management clients retain us for periodic touch-up painting — lobby scuffs, hallway marks, office repaints between tenants, and common area maintenance. This keeps your property looking sharp year-round.

(570) 209-0355Answers for homeowners in Scranton, Taylor, Dunmore, and NEPA communities about interior home painting, color selection, cabinet painting, and surface preparation.
Yes. Scranton Handyman Corporation provides professional interior residential painting throughout Scranton, Taylor, Dunmore, Clarks Summit, and surrounding NEPA communities. From a single accent wall to a whole-house repaint, we deliver clean, lasting results. Call (570) 209-0355 for a free estimate.
We paint walls, ceilings, trim, doors, window casings, baseboards, closets, stairwells, and accent features. We handle full room repaints, color change projects, touch-up painting, and repainting between tenants or buyers. We supply the paint or use paint you provide.
Yes. Choosing the right paint color can be overwhelming. We help guide you through color selection based on lighting conditions, room size, your existing furniture and flooring, and the mood you want to create. We apply test patches before committing to a full color so you can see it in your actual space.
A standard bedroom or living room (two coats, good surface condition) typically takes one full day. Larger rooms, rooms requiring significant prep, or rooms with extensive trim work may take one and a half to two days. We give you a timeline alongside your written estimate.
We ask that homeowners move small items, breakables, and valuables from the room before we arrive. We handle moving large furniture toward the center of the room and covering it with drop cloths. Wall hangings and outlet/switch covers should be removed or we will remove them as part of our prep.
We use high-quality paints from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or equivalent brands. Finish selection (flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss) depends on the room's use — eggshell for living areas, satin or semi-gloss for kitchens, bathrooms, and trim. We explain the right finish for each space.
Yes. A complete room repaint includes walls, ceiling, trim, door casings, and doors if desired. Painting trim and ceilings makes an enormous difference in the finished look — we recommend including them for the best result. We price each component separately so you can choose your scope.
Yes, whenever appropriate. Bare drywall, repaired surfaces, dramatic color changes (especially dark to light), and stained walls all require primer before topcoat. Skipping primer leads to poor coverage and early paint failure. We never skip this step when it is needed.
Yes. Many older Scranton-area homes have plaster walls rather than drywall. Plaster painting requires proper prep — cleaning, crack repair, and priming — to achieve a smooth, lasting finish. We are experienced with the characteristics of plaster construction common in NEPA's older housing stock.
Yes. Wallpaper removal is a preparatory service we provide before painting. This involves scoring, wetting, and stripping wallpaper, then skim-coating or sanding the wall surface to create a paintable substrate. Wallpaper removal adds time and cost but is necessary for a quality painted finish.
Yes. Cabinet painting is a cost-effective alternative to cabinet replacement. We clean, sand, prime, and apply durable enamel or alkyd paint to cabinet boxes and doors for a factory-smooth finish that stands up to kitchen use. Cabinet painting dramatically updates a kitchen at a fraction of the cost of new cabinets.
Remove small items, art, and decor from walls and surfaces. Move smaller furniture away from walls. Secure pets in another area. Make sure we have clear access to the rooms being painted. We handle drop cloths, taping, and moving larger furniture.
Interior painting costs depend on room size, ceiling height, number of coats, surface condition, and paint quality. We provide free written estimates with per-room pricing so you know exactly what to expect. Call (570) 209-0355 or submit the contact form for your free estimate.
Yes. We apply epoxy or latex masonry paint to garage floors and basement concrete for a durable, cleanable surface. Proper surface prep — degreasing and etching — is critical for adhesion and is always included in our concrete floor painting process.
Yes. High-ceiling rooms and two-story foyers require extended ladders and stabilizers. We have the equipment and experience to work safely at height in residential spaces — no subcontracting needed.
Yes. We paint exterior trim, shutters, doors, porches, railings, and accent elements on homes. NEPA's climate demands weather-resistant exterior paints applied at the right temperature and humidity conditions. We assess conditions before exterior work to ensure proper paint adhesion and longevity.
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship. If paint we applied peels or fails due to our application (not damage or moisture issues beyond our scope), we return and correct it at no charge.
Yes. We remove painter's tape, drop cloths, and all materials after each painting session. We wipe up any paint drips or splatters, return furniture to its original position, and leave your home looking better than before we arrived.
We do both. Touch-up painting — scuff repairs, ding fill-and-paint, door frame touch-ups — is a service we provide as part of maintenance visits or standalone calls. We can also include touch-up painting alongside other handyman services on the same visit.
