Will you protect our office equipment and furniture during painting?

Yes, protecting your office equipment and furniture is one of our top priorities on every commercial project. We carefully cover and protect all desks, computers, monitors, filing cabinets, and flooring with plastic sheeting and drop cloths. Your workspace is returned to you in the same condition we found it, minus the old paint.

Our Protection Process

Before any paint comes out, our crew follows a thorough protection protocol that we have refined over 15 years of painting offices across Edmonton:

  • Electronics and computers: All monitors, desktop towers, printers, and phone systems are covered with anti-static plastic sheeting. We tape the sheeting securely so it stays in place throughout the project, and we never stack anything on top of covered equipment.
  • Desks and work surfaces: Every desk, conference table, and countertop gets covered with heavy-duty canvas drop cloths. Canvas absorbs drips better than plastic alone and prevents paint from pooling and running onto the floor.
  • Flooring: We lay rosin paper or heavy canvas across all walkways and work zones. For offices with hardwood, tile, or polished concrete, we use additional protective layers to prevent scratching from ladders and equipment.
  • Filing cabinets and shelving: Tall furniture near walls gets pulled forward and draped. If items are too heavy to move safely, we mask and cover them in place with precision taping along edges.
  • Server rooms and sensitive areas: If your office has a server room or areas with sensitive medical or legal equipment, we discuss access and protection requirements during the estimate walkthrough. These zones receive extra attention and sealed barriers to keep dust and fumes out entirely.

Low-VOC Products for Indoor Air Quality

Office painting brings additional concerns about air quality, especially in medical clinics, dental offices, and spaces where staff work during or immediately after the project. We use low-VOC and zero-VOC products from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Cloverdale to minimize odours and keep your indoor environment safe. Most of our office clients report that their teams can work comfortably the very next morning.

After-Hours and Weekend Scheduling

For Edmonton offices that cannot afford any disruption during business hours, we offer evening and weekend scheduling at no additional charge. Our crew arrives after your team leaves and wraps up before they return. All protection materials stay neatly in place between sessions, so there is no setup delay from night to night.
