A few helpful answers
What types of commercial properties do you paint?
We paint offices, healthcare and medical offices, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, schools, churches, community spaces, and apartment and condominium properties. Explore the property-type cards and real project examples to find the service that fits your building.
Where do you work?
We serve Milwaukee, Waukesha County, Lake Country and surrounding Southeast Wisconsin communities. Tell us the property address so we can confirm your location.
Can you work around business hours or after hours?
Tell us about business hours, customer traffic, staff and tenant access, and any preferred evening or weekend windows. We review availability and agree on the schedule in your written project plan before work begins.
How do you protect the property and minimize disruption?
We review floors, furniture, equipment and occupied areas with your site contact, then plan protection, preparation, access and the order of work. Discuss any sensitive spaces or operating requirements at the estimate so they can be addressed in the written scope.
What should I have ready for an estimate?
The property address, your contact information, the areas you want painted, approximate size and preferred timing are a useful start. Photos and any access requirements also help.
Do you require a deposit?
Empire does not require a deposit. Payment is due when the agreed work is complete, according to your project terms. Qualifying painting work includes a 3-year written warranty; ask which surfaces and work are covered.
