How much does commercial painting cost in NYC?

NYC commercial painting costs $3-$7 per square foot of wall space. Co-op and condo common areas average $3-$5/sf. Office suites run $2.50-$4.50/sf. Restaurants and retail $4-$7/sf due to specialty finishes. After-hours scheduling may add 10-15%. Manhattan projects tend to be at the higher end due to access logistics.

Do you carry insurance for NYC buildings?

Yes. GCMM carries $2M general liability and full workers compensation — meeting or exceeding the requirements of virtually all NYC building management companies and co-op boards. We provide certificates of insurance naming your building as additional insured on every project.

Can you paint co-op hallways without bothering residents?

Yes. We use low-VOC paint, work in sections to keep hallways passable, protect floors and elevator interiors, and schedule work during low-traffic hours. Most co-op hallway projects are completed floor-by-floor over 1-2 weeks with minimal resident impact.

Do you need permits for commercial painting in NYC?

Standard interior painting does not require a DOB permit. Exterior painting requiring scaffolding needs a DOB permit. Work in Landmarks Preservation Commission districts may need LPC approval for color changes. GCMM handles all necessary permits.

How fast can you turn around a restaurant paint job?

Most restaurant painting projects can be completed in 2-4 days working overnight between your closing and opening. We schedule around your busiest days and can phase the work (dining room one night, kitchen the next) to minimize impact on your service.
