Commercial Painting Contractors for Offices, Warehouses, Multifamily Properties & Industrial Facilities
Element Painting & Coatings Company provides professional commercial painting services throughout Seattle, Bellevue, and the greater Puget Sound region. We help property owners, developers, general contractors, facility managers, HOAs, and property management firms protect and improve their buildings with high-performance painting and coating solutions.

From office buildings and multifamily communities to warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail spaces, and mixed-use developments, we deliver durable finishes designed for long-term performance.

Schumacher TI – Retail Showroom, Georgetown Seattle
Element PCC completed commercial interior painting for the Schumacher tenant improvement at the Seattle Design Center in Georgetown, Seattle. The project involved a retail showroom within an occupied commercial building, requiring Element PCC to coordinate painting operations around the operating schedule of the surrounding facility.
The scope included open-to-structure ceiling spray finishes, high-quality GWB wall finishes using Backdrop Paint, standard tenant improvement painting, and coordination of subcontracted wallpaper installation. Ceiling spray work was performed during night shifts, while early-morning starts were used for other work to take advantage of limited access windows before normal operating hours.
Working within an occupied design-focused retail environment required careful scheduling and coordination to minimize disruption while maintaining the required finish quality. Element PCC coordinated its painting and wallcovering activities through HST Construction and completed the project from October through December 2024.
The project demonstrates how commercial painting work can be phased around an occupied building while accommodating specialty finishes, off-hours access, and the finish standards expected within a high-end retail showroom.

Kymeta – Mixed-Use Manufacturing & Office Facility, Woodinville
Element PCC provided commercial painting and specialty coating services for Kymeta’s mixed-use manufacturing, laboratory, warehouse, and office facility in Woodinville, Washington. The project combined standard tenant improvement painting with light industrial work and specialty applications, including open-to-structure ceiling and structural steel spraying, GWB wall painting up to approximately 24 feet, and pre-finishing and spraying more than 40 doors.
The project was completed in multiple phases while numerous trades worked concurrently, including HVAC, electrical, low-voltage, drywall, carpentry, ACT, and ceiling-grid crews. Tenant move-in also began during the later phases, requiring Element PCC to work around racking, forklifts, stored materials, and the start of manufacturing operations.
The manufacturing area included electrostatic discharge flooring and sensitive electronic equipment, requiring controlled access and grounding procedures during painting operations. Element PCC also completed egress pathway striping using laser layout and Sherwin-Williams Hot Fast Latex Marking Paint to meet Woodinville City Code requirements.

Bellevue Parking Garage – Commercial Painting & Wayfinding Graphics
Element PCC completed commercial parking garage painting and paint-on wayfinding graphics at the 112th & 12th Lobby parking garage in Bellevue, Washington. The occupied commercial facility required durable CMU wall coatings and clearly defined navigation graphics while maintaining continuous pedestrian and vehicle access.
The project included painting CMU walls throughout the garage and installing paint-on wayfinding graphics designed to improve navigation for tenants, visitors, and drivers. Peel-and-stick vinyl graphics were used as temporary masks to create precise graphic layouts and clean, durable edges.
Because the garage remained in active use, Element PCC divided the work between nighttime and daytime operations. Base CMU painting was performed at night to minimize disruption, while wayfinding graphics were completed during daytime hours. Work areas were controlled with cones and caution tape, with crew sequencing adjusted around active traffic and pedestrian movement.
The project required 40 total labor hours and was completed without safety incidents. The finished coatings and graphics provided a durable solution suited to the demands of an occupied parking structure.

Frolik at Motif – Exterior Intumescent Coating Retrofit, Seattle
Element PCC completed an exterior intumescent coating retrofit for the restaurant canopy at Frolik at Motif in Seattle, Washington. The existing aluminum canopy required a one-hour fire-resistance rating, making specialized intumescent coating application necessary for the restaurant to open in the affected area.
The project required approximately four weeks of preparation and coating application followed by approximately two weeks of oversight during installation of the canopy’s shade system. Winter conditions presented significant environmental challenges, including temperatures of approximately 30–50°F, rain, and high humidity. Element PCC worked within a fully enclosed scaffold structure wrapped in vinyl sheeting and used continuous dehumidification and negative-air equipment to control the application environment.
The coating system incorporated Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy 646, Contego High Solids RFB intumescent coating, and Sherwin-Williams Hi-Solids Polyurethane 250. Third-party inspections verified coating thickness at the primer and intumescent stages, and the intumescent coating was allowed to reach the required 70 Shore D hardness before topcoating.
Element PCC also monitored subsequent penetrations for the shade system and ensured they were sealed against moisture exposure.

Why Choose Element PCC
What sets Element PCC apart is not just our technical ability—it is our integrity and the way we approach every project. Our goal is to help owners, property managers, and facility managers maximize the value and longevity of their assets through properly specified and professionally applied coating systems.
We believe commercial painting is about more than putting paint on a surface. The right result depends on understanding the substrate, selecting the appropriate coating system, preparing surfaces correctly, and executing the work to the requirements of the project. Our team brings experience across commercial painting, industrial coatings, specialty finishes, fireproofing, and architectural applications, allowing us to approach each project with a broader understanding of how coatings perform over time.
We also understand that commercial painting has to work around the realities of operating a business. Occupied buildings, active construction sites, tenant schedules, production environments, and property management requirements all create logistical challenges. We maintain the flexibility to adapt scheduling, phase work, and coordinate operations around the needs of our clients and their facilities.
We are not focused on finding the fastest way to finish a project at the expense of quality. We take pride in doing things correctly, communicating clearly, and providing solutions that make sense for the building—not simply the easiest solution for the contractor. From initial consultation and paint matching through surface preparation, application, and final walkthrough, our objective is to deliver work that performs as well as it looks.
