Commercial painting in North Bay typically costs $2,000 to $8,000 per project depending on square footage, schedule constraints, and paint tier. All In One Painting handles property management turnovers, realtor pre-sale refreshes, retail and office repaints, and after-hours commercial work across North Bay and Nipissing District (Callander, Powassan, Sturgeon Falls, Mattawa) and through our Ottawa branch led by Osama Jassim (Kanata, Barrhaven, Stittsville, Orleans). Every commercial property entry is backed by full commercial liability insurance and active WSIB coverage. Founded by Ahmed Khalil, the company carries a 1-year written workmanship warranty on every commercial job, regardless of paint tier.

The honest truth most painters won't say out loud: a residential paint quote and a commercial paint quote should never look the same. A homeowner who plans to live in the house for ten years pays for Benjamin Moore Aura and gets a product that holds true colour through a decade of cleaning. A property manager who needs a one-bedroom turnover done in 48 hours so the next tenant can move in pays for something different. The crew is the same. The prep standard is the same. The product cost changes because the use case changes, and the bid has to respect that.

That's why our commercial tier defaults to Sico Contractor, PPG Speedhide, or equivalent commercial-grade products at roughly $240 per pail, while premium tiers (Benjamin Moore Regal Select, Dulux Diamond) stay available for owner-occupied offices, executive boardrooms, condo lobbies, and any commercial space where finish quality drives leasing value. Property managers running multiple buildings, realtors flipping inventory, and retail operators losing money during daytime closures get the right product for the actual situation, not a one-size bid that prices them out.

Why this matters first

Most painters can't legally step onto your property.

Ontario property management vendor agreements, commercial leases, and most retail-chain procurement policies require active commercial liability insurance and a current WSIB clearance certificate before any contractor sets foot on the building. The number of painters in North Bay carrying both is a short list. We are on it.

Proof of insurance and WSIB clearance go to your office before the first day on site. Both stay on file for your records. If your building requires additional named insured language, vendor onboarding forms, or specific COI minimums, send us the requirements and we get it back the same day.

Commercial liability

Full coverage for property entry, on-site work, and damage protection.

WSIB clearance

Active certificate provided pre-job. Renewed and on file year-round.

Vendor onboarding

COI, W-9 (Canadian equivalent), and your custom forms returned same day.

Building-by-building proof

Three buyer profiles

Different buyer, different bid logic.

Property managers, realtors, and commercial operators each need a different scheduling shape, different product tier, and different success metric. The bid logic adjusts. The crew and the prep standard don't.

How a commercial job runs

Before painters arrive. While we work. After we leave.

Three phases. Defined responsibilities at each. So your property manager, your realtor, your retail GM, or your office facilities lead knows exactly what happens and when.

Phase 1 · Before

Walkthrough & Documentation

2 to 5 business days before start
  • On-site walkthrough with the decision-maker present. Photos and measurements captured.
  • Insurance and WSIB certificates emailed to your office or facilities team.
  • Written quote with line-itemed labour, product, prep, and any after-hours premium.
  • Schedule confirmed in writing. Key handoff or fob access arranged.
  • Colour selection finalized. Product ordered and staged at our shop.
  • For property managers: vacancy date and target tenant move-in date locked.
Phase 2 · During

On-Site Execution

Single shift to 5 working days, scope dependent
  • Crew arrives at the agreed time. After-hours jobs start at 9pm sharp.
  • Furniture and fixtures masked, drop cloths down, floors protected.
  • Walls washed where needed, holes patched, surfaces sanded smooth.
  • Spot prime on bare drywall, stain-block any water marks or grease shadows.
  • Two coats of the agreed product. Cut-ins by brush, body rolled or sprayed by scope.
  • Daily progress photo update to your phone if you want it.
Phase 3 · After

Closeout & Warranty

Same day as last coat dries
  • Final walkthrough with the decision-maker. Punch list captured and resolved.
  • All masking, drop cloths, and packaging removed. Floors swept, surfaces wiped.
  • Touch-up paint in labelled containers left on site for future scuffs.
  • 1-year written workmanship warranty issued with the invoice.
  • Invoice itemized to match the quote. Net 30 standard for commercial accounts.
  • For property managers: keys returned, building manager notified of completion.
After-hours capability

If your space can't close during the day, we work at night.

Retail floors, banks, medical clinics, restaurants, and small offices lose real money during business-hour closures. The math usually favours an overnight premium over a daytime shutdown. We run full crews on a 9pm to 7am window and deliver the space ready for opening.

Weekend scheduling, Sunday-closure days, and statutory holiday shifts also available. The premium is real, but for a retail operator the cost of a single lost trading day usually exceeds it. We do the math with you on the walkthrough.

Standard after-hours coverage: single-night repaints up to 1,500 square feet, two-night spreads up to 3,500 square feet. Larger scopes phased across consecutive weekends.

Paint tier decision

Commercial product tiers vs premium tiers, side by side.

Which tier belongs on your job. Not a sales decision. A use-case decision. We bring this table to the walkthrough.

One rule: the prep standard does not change with the product tier. A cheaper paint on poor prep still fails. A premium paint on poor prep still fails. We do the prep either way. The product line moves with the use case.

Investment ranges

What a commercial paint job actually costs.

Three job sizes most clients fall into. Larger multi-unit corridors, retail flagships, and custom commercial work quoted by walkthrough.

Single-unit turnover

Property management vacancy cycle, small office, single rental unit.
$800 - $3,500typical project range
  • 1-4 bedroom unit, walls and ceilings
  • Patch holes, scuff repair, spot prime
  • One to two coats Sico Contractor or PPG
  • Trim touched, doors spot-corrected
  • 48 to 72 hour turnaround standard
  • Insurance and WSIB certificates provided
Most Common

Retail or office repaint

Storefront, sales floor, office tenant build-out, leasehold improvement.
$2,000 - $8,000typical project range
  • Full prep including patching, sanding, priming
  • Two coats premium or contractor product (your choice)
  • After-hours or weekend scheduling available
  • Furniture and fixtures professionally masked
  • Daily progress photo updates if requested
  • 1-year written workmanship warranty
  • Net 30 invoicing standard

Custom commercial

Multi-unit corridors, retail flagships, condo lobbies, large facilities.
$8,000+quoted by walkthrough
  • Phased scheduling across nights or weekends
  • Lift or scaffolding pricing included as needed
  • Premium tier for brand-surface spaces
  • Multi-property contract pricing available
  • Custom COI and vendor onboarding handled
  • Dedicated project lead for the engagement

After-hours premium typically adds 20 to 35 percent to the daytime rate, depending on shift count and crew size required. For most retail operators, that premium is smaller than the cost of a single lost trading day. We quote both options so you can see the math.

"
Same crew, same prep, the right product matched to the building. The painters in your units are the painters I'd send to my own home, and they're trained to a standard that doesn't bend whether it's a turnover unit or an owner-occupied repaint.

Common questions

Commercial painting in North Bay, answered straight.

Five questions every property manager, realtor, and commercial operator asks at the walkthrough. If yours isn't here, call (705) 482-1039 or use the form below for a 24-hour response.

How much does commercial painting cost in North Bay?

Commercial painting in North Bay typically costs $2,000 to $8,000 per project depending on square footage, schedule constraints, and paint tier.

A single rental-unit turnover for a property manager lands around $800 to $1,800. A two-bedroom realtor pre-sale refresh runs $1,500 to $3,500. A retail or office repaint scheduled after-hours falls in the $3,000 to $8,000 range. Larger multi-unit corridors and lobby work in North Bay condo or apartment buildings is quoted by walkthrough and typically runs $5,000 to $20,000.

Every commercial quote breaks out labour, product, prep, and after-hours premium so the line on the invoice matches the line on the bid.

Do you offer after-hours or overnight commercial painting?

Yes. We regularly paint retail and commercial spaces overnight, typically a 9pm to 7am window, and on weekend or holiday closures.

After-hours scheduling carries a premium because we run a full crew through the night to deliver the space ready for opening, but for retail operators losing a day of trading often costs more than the premium itself. We do the math with you on the walkthrough so you can compare the after-hours premium against the cost of a daytime shutdown.

What is the lead time for a property management turnover repaint?

Standard property management turnover requests in North Bay are scheduled within five to ten business days. Emergency vacancy-cycle requests can usually be placed within 48 to 72 hours depending on the season.

We carry the contractor-grade product on hand, which is the bottleneck on most other commercial painters, so the limiting factor is crew availability rather than paint procurement. For property managers running multiple buildings, we offer a standing schedule that holds slots open in advance of expected turnovers.

Why are commercial paint quotes lower than residential quotes from the same painter?

Commercial quotes are usually lower because the paint tier is different. A residential interior client expecting Benjamin Moore Regal Select at $90 a gallon pays a different square-foot rate than a property manager who needs a one-bedroom turnover done in two days with Sico Contractor at roughly $240 a pail.

The prep standard is the same, the crew is the same, the warranty is the same. The product cost shifts. Ahmed Khalil, founder of All In One Painting, has put it this way: if he quotes a property manager Benjamin Moore on a four-bedroom turnover, he will not get the job. So the commercial bid uses a commercial-grade product that still meets the durability expectation for rental and retail use.

Do you carry insurance and WSIB coverage for commercial property access?

Yes. All In One Painting is fully insured for commercial liability and carries active WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) coverage on every crew member.

We provide proof of insurance and a WSIB clearance certificate before the first day on any commercial property, and we keep both on file for property managers and building owners who require them as a vendor approval condition. This matters because most commercial leases and most property management vendor agreements in Ontario require both, and a painter without WSIB cannot legally be on the property under most policies.
