Armadillo Painting loves when a commercial painting project connects us back to the places that shaped who we are. Our recent work at the Newport Hills Swim and Tennis Club (NHSTC) was just that – this is the very swim club where our owner grew up swimming. Over the years, NHSTC has been a cornerstone of the community, hosting everything from swim meets to family celebrations. But its banquet hall and weight room had not been updated in three decades.

When the club reached out to us, their goal was clear: refresh and modernize the space to increase rental value and ensure it continues to be a strong revenue generator for the community.

The Challenge

• The banquet hall, a hub for parties and events, felt dated and worn down after 30 years without updates.
• The weight room needed a durable solution that could withstand heavy use and moisture from workouts.
• The beautiful wooden beams in the banquet hall needed careful preservation while updating the surrounding brackets for a more modern look.

Armadillo Painting’s Process

Every painting project deserves attention to detail, and this one had special meaning to us. Here is how we approached it:

Surface Preparation

Clean and repair walls to create a smooth, paint-ready foundation.

Detail Work

• Carefully mask off all the wooden beams in the banquet hall to protect their natural finish.
• Paint the brackets for a crisp, updated contrast.

Product Choice

• For the weight room, select a washable, moisture-resistant paint to handle the humidity and daily traffic.
• Across the project, use Sherwin-Williams ProMar® 200 Zero VOC, a trusted commercial-grade paint known for its excellent durability, low odor, and environmentally friendly formula.

Why the Right Paint Matters For Newport Hills Swim and Tennis Club

Choosing the right paint is not just about color, it is about function and longevity. In a space like the weight room, moisture-resistant paints make it easier to keep walls clean and fresh. For event spaces like the banquet hall, ProMar 200’s professional-grade coverage and low odor ensured that the update was not only beautiful but also healthier for staff and guests.

The Outcome

The Newport Hills Swim and Tennis Club’s transformation was immediate. The banquet hall now feels bright, modern, and inviting – ready to host celebrations that match the energy of the community. The weight room not only looks refreshed but is built to withstand years of use thanks to the right product selection.

By updating these spaces, NHSTC is positioned to increase its rental rates and strengthen its role as a revenue-generating community hub.

This year, we are proud to announce our 2025 community project winner: Treehouse for Kids.

Two of Armadillo Painting’s core values are Customer Matters and Excellence; giving back is built into who we are. Each year, we commit to completing at least one community painting project, completely free of charge, to support the people and organizations that make our community a better place to live.

Now in its 4th year, our annual Community Project initiative invites our customers to nominate a neighbor or a nonprofit in need of a refresh. Whether it is someone going through a tough time or an organization that serves others every day, we aim to give a little brightness back through the power of paint.

About Treehouse For Kids

Treehouse is a Washington-based nonprofit focused on ensuring youth in foster care have the opportunities and support they need to thrive – academically, emotionally, and socially. Their work is truly transformative, helping youth graduate from high school at rates higher than the general population.

One of Treehouse’s standout programs is the Treehouse Store – a welcoming space where youth experiencing foster care can shop for clothing, toys, school supplies, and other essentials, all at no cost. It is a place filled with dignity, empowerment, and joy, not just for the kids who shop there, but for the donors and volunteers who make it all possible.

This year, we have chosen Treehouse to help refresh the area where they conduct donor tours: a behind-the-scenes space where supporters get to see the impact of their generosity in real time.

The Project: Painting a Space That Inspires

The space had seen a lot of love… and a lot of wear. Scuffed walls, dinged-up trim, and high-traffic doorways needed attention. Our Armadillo Painting team stepped in to:

• Prep and repair worn wall surfaces
• Repaint high-traffic walls and hallways
• Refresh door trims and interior doors with durable, high-quality finishes.

Why Paint Matters – Especially Here

A fresh coat of paint might seem simple, but it is powerful. It can brighten a space, lift the mood, and create a more polished and professional impression; especially important when welcoming donors who want to see their contributions in action.

Just as important as the aesthetics is the functionality of the product we use. Every room has a purpose, and every purpose has a paint solution. In this case, we selected a durable, scrubbable paint designed to withstand the high foot traffic and activity that comes with daily tours and community engagement.

The Outcome

The result? A refreshed, welcoming space that can handle the daily activity it sees. The upgraded paint products not only look great, but they will stand the test of time, helping Treehouse focus on what they do best: supporting youth in foster care.

Let Us Paint With Purpose, Together

If you know a person or organization that could benefit from our annual community project, we want to hear from you! And if your own space is due for a refresh, call us at (425) 641-5465 or contact us online today to schedule a free estimate with the Armadillo Painting team.

Together, we are making Washington more colorful one project at a time.

With so many different types of exterior paint on the market, choosing the right one for your commercial property can be overwhelming. We will explore some of the most popular options to help you make an informed decision for your next commercial painting needs. But before we dive into types, let’s understand exterior paints in general. 

Understanding Exterior Paint Types

Exterior paints are specially formulated to withstand the harsh effects of weather, including sunlight, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. They typically come in two main bases:

• Water-based (latex or acrylic): This is the most popular choice for exterior painting due to its ease of application, cleanup, and quick drying time. Acrylic paints, a type of latex paint, offer excellent durability, mildew resistance, and come in a wide variety of colors.
• Oil-based: While oil-based paints provide superior durability and a smooth finish, they are more expensive, have a strong odor, and require mineral spirits for cleanup. Additionally, they take longer to dry and may not be environmentally friendly.

Choosing the Right Exterior Paint for Your Needs

Here’s a breakdown of some popular exterior paint types to help you decide which is best for your project:

• Acrylic Latex Paint: This is the most versatile and user-friendly exterior paint option. It offers excellent durability, adhesion, and resistance to fading, mildew, and cracking. Acrylic latex paints are also easy to apply and clean up with soap and water. They are a great choice for most surfaces and climates.
• Alkyd Paint: Alkyd paints offer a good balance between the durability of oil-based paints and the ease of use of latex paints. They are ideal for high-traffic areas, trim, and doors because of their tough, enamel-like finish. However, alkyd paints can have a strong odor and require mineral spirits for cleanup.
• Stucco Paint: Specifically designed for stucco surfaces, this paint provides excellent breathability, which allows moisture vapor to escape and prevents trapped moisture that can lead to mold growth. Stucco paint is typically acrylic latex paint with added binders for better adhesion.
• Masonry Paint: This paint is formulated for brick, concrete, and other masonry surfaces. It is highly durable and resistant to moisture penetration, mildew, and efflorescence (the migration of salts to the surface). Masonry paint is also breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape and preventing cracking.
• Elastomeric Paint: This type of paint is known for its flexibility, making it ideal for surfaces that expand and contract with temperature changes, such as stucco and wood siding. Elastomeric paint can bridge small cracks and prevent them from growing larger.

Additional Factors to Consider When Choosing Exterior Paint

1. Finish 

Exterior paints come in various finishes, including flat, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss. Flat finishes hide imperfections well but are more prone to dirt accumulation. Gloss finishes are easier to clean but show imperfections more easily. Satin and semi-gloss finishes offer a good balance between durability, cleanability, and hiding imperfections.

2. Climate

Consider your local climate when choosing exterior paint. For hot and humid climates, mildew-resistant paint is essential. In colder climates, a paint that can withstand freezing temperatures is necessary.

3. Surface Material

Different surfaces require specific types of paint. Ensure you choose a paint compatible with the material of your building’s exterior, such as stucco, wood siding, brick, or masonry.

By understanding the different types of exterior paint and considering the factors mentioned above, you can choose the right paint for your project that will protect your commercial building and enhance its beauty for years to come.

Maintaining the appearance and structural integrity of your commercial building is essential for creating a positive impression on clients and visitors. A fresh coat of commercial painting can do wonders in transforming the look and feel of your property. Coatings and sealers provide additional protection, ensuring that your building remains durable and attractive for years to come.

Benefits of Coating and Sealers For Your Commercial Building

Paint Coatings

The benefits of coatings for commercial buildings are numerous. Enhanced appearance is one key advantage, as coatings can give a fresh and modern look to interior walls and exterior surfaces. Additionally, coatings protect against environmental damage by acting as a barrier against factors such as UV rays, moisture, and extreme temperatures. This helps prevent premature deterioration, ensuring the building remains structurally sound for years. Moreover, coatings can enhance the durability of surfaces, making them more resistant to wear, abrasion, and chemical damage, especially in high-traffic areas.

Paint Sealers

Similarly, sealers provide stain resistance by creating a barrier against oil, grease, and chemicals, making cleaning and maintaining the building’s appearance easier. Sealers also protect against moisture, preventing water intrusion and safeguarding the building from damage. Additionally, they enhance durability by increasing resistance to wear, abrasion, and impact, particularly in high-traffic areas. Ultimately, sealers help extend the lifespan of building surfaces, leading to long-term cost savings by reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

Types of Coatings for Commercial Buildings

• Interior Coating: Interior coatings are specifically designed for surfaces inside commercial buildings. These coatings are formulated to withstand the wear and tear of high foot-traffic areas while providing a visually appealing finish.
• Elastomeric Coatings: Elastomeric coatings are highly flexible and can expand and contract with the building’s substrate. This makes them ideal for areas prone to cracking, such as stucco, concrete, and masonry. Elastomeric coatings provide excellent waterproofing and weatherproofing properties, ensuring that your building remains protected against water intrusion and moisture damage.
• Dry Fall Paint: Dry fall paint is a specialized coating typically used on ceilings and interior walls of commercial buildings. It is formulated to dry quickly and fall to the ground as dust during application, minimizing the need for extensive cleanup. Dry fall paint is commonly used in warehouses, industrial buildings, and retail establishments.
• Concrete Sealers: Concrete surfaces, such as floors, driveways, and sidewalks, require special protection to prevent staining, cracking, and deterioration. Concrete sealers are specifically designed to penetrate the porous surface of concrete and create a protective barrier. They help to prevent water penetration, resist staining from oils and chemicals, and enhance the durability of the concrete.
• Anti-Graffiti Coatings: Graffiti can be a nuisance for commercial buildings, negatively impacting their appearance and requiring costly removal. Anti-graffiti coatings offer a solution by providing a protective barrier that makes removing graffiti without damaging the underlying surface easier. These coatings can be applied to various materials, including metal, concrete, and wood.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Coating

Durability and Longevity

One of the primary factors to consider when choosing a coating is its durability and longevity. The coating should withstand the specific environmental conditions of your location, such as extreme heat, cold, humidity, or salt exposure. Additionally, it should have good resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and UV rays to ensure a long-lasting finish.

Aesthetics

The appearance of your building is an important consideration when selecting a coating. Whether you prefer a vibrant and eye-catching color or a more neutral and professional look, the coating should be able to meet your aesthetic requirements. Consider factors such as color options, finish types (e.g., matte, satin, glossy), and the ability to match existing color schemes.

Environmental Considerations

Environmental factors play a significant role in the selection of coatings for commercial buildings. Consider the ecological impact of the coating, such as its VOC (volatile organic compounds) content. Low VOC coatings are more environmentally friendly and improve indoor air quality. Additionally, consider whether the coating is resistant to mold, mildew, and other biological growth.

Choosing a Professional Commercial Painting Company

Selecting the right commercial painting company is crucial for a successful coating and sealer project. Armadillo Painting stands out as the ideal choice for comprehensive commercial painting jobs, particularly when it comes to coatings and sealers. Our team of dedicated professionals is proficient in choosing and applying the right type of coating that suits your building’s specific needs. We consider environmental factors, aesthetics, and longevity to provide a visually appealing and long-lasting solution. With Armadillo Painting, you can expect meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality, resulting in a finished product that meets and often exceeds client expectations. Contact Armadillo Painting for a commercial painting job that stands the test of time.

Whether you are a family-owned business or the manager of a massive corporate entity, maintaining the health and vitality of your operating facility is of the utmost importance. Curbside appeal is everything for customers, clients, and even colleagues – so make sure not to leave it by the wayside when it comes time to choose a commercial painting company.

Importance of Commercial Painting Company Services

If you have a great product and exceptional services, you likely don’t think about your curbside appeal that much. Still, setting your best foot forward includes putting a nice coat of paint onto the building that you will operate out of.

Repainting your commercial property can go a long way toward benefiting your business, building your brand, and inspiring consumer confidence. There are a few other benefits that you can expect along the way, so let’s share those with you below.

• Boost Your Image – A poorly painted building or a business that hasn’t been tended to will look in ill repute and disrepair. Taking care of your property can go a long way toward bringing in new customers while improving and cementing the professionalism of your image.
• Improve Sales – When customers and clients feel at ease entering your establishment, you know that you are getting off on the right foot. Sales will be easier to make when you host work inside of a building that properly represents your professionalism. A prettier building will also be more noticeable to people walking or driving by, thus bringing more potential traffic to your door.
• Stay Competitive – If you aren’t improving your business, then you are likely to fall behind someone else. In today’s competitive market, it is important to do everything we can to stand out in the crowd of potential businesses. Repainting your commercial property is a simple way to stand out in the crowd while helping to assure your bottom line.

Select the Right Commercial Painting Company for Your Business

Once you’ve decided that it is time to upgrade your property with a new layer of paint, you need to reach out to the right commercial painting company. To help you find the right painting team for your building, let’s outline a few ways you can approach the search.

• Experience Matters – You wouldn’t trust your business in the hands of a complete novice, so why would you do the same for your commercial painting company?

If you’re considering painting your home, you may be debating the pros and cons of doing it yourself versus hiring a professional painting company. Color plays a vital role in the overall appearance of your home and because of that, painting can completely refresh its look or even change it dramatically. Imagine how different your home would look if you painted its white exterior a deep blue!

There are many benefits to hiring painters, including a guarantee on the quality of work. Here are eight additional reasons why painting a home is one job that should truly be left to the professionals.

1. Professional Painting Company Experience

A reputable professional painting company will have a team of experts who specialize strictly in painting homes. This team executes its work based on different client budgets, timetables, and expectations. Professional painters also have experience prepping and painting a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces and materials, and they can help you come up with an ideal color scheme that suits your home and personality.

2. Necessary Tools

Have you thought about what tools you’ll need for a DIY painting project? One of the biggest benefits of hiring a professional painting company is that it provides those tools, eliminating a great deal of hassle and expense on your end.

3. Quality Work from Hiring a Professional Painting Company

Reputable professional painters stand behind their work and often provide some sort of quality guarantee. These companies will not cut corners anywhere in the process, understanding that a long-lasting paint job begins before a single brush stroke is painted.

Starting with proper surface preparation of scraping off loose paint or priming bare areas and masking and sealing off windows and furniture, to the final inspection and walking the client through the finished job, only a professional painting company offers this approach guaranteeing superior-quality work.

4. Use of Quality Products

When selecting paint and paint products for your home or office, quality is vital. You want a beautiful, long-lasting finish, and a professional painter knows the quality products to achieve this. Whereas a non-professional will focus primarily on the paint color, professionals know to pay attention to the quality of pigment, binders, liquids, and additives in paint, and where to source them.

5. Professional Painting Company Safety

Despite being a somewhat beginner-friendly project, painting comes with a great deal of necessary safety concerns and precautions. For example, sanding or scraping old lead-based paint can generate hazardous dust and chips, so in many states, it’s required that you hire a certified lead-safe renovation contractor to test lead levels and safely remove the loose paint.

Other examples include using a variety of different-sized ladders and wearing protective gear — routine, non-negotiable aspects of a professional painter’s job that they’ll worry about so you don’t have to.

6. Attention to Details

There are many, many moving parts when it comes to a paint job, all requiring attention to keep things running smoothly. A reputable professional painting company has established practices in place to screen its contractors, ensuring they hire only the best team that can manage this high-level attention to detail. The company should also keep tabs on the project timeline and budget to meet customer expectations, while also staying in regular communication with the client.

7. Innovative Ideas

What comes to mind when you think of painting your home or office, DIY-style? Most of us imagine a mess of paint cans, brushes, and masking tape, and long, tiring days ahead. When you hire a professional painting company, however, not only do they physically do the painting, but they also offer innovative concepts that you may not have realized were easily achievable in your own home.

Here are some clever ideas from professional painters that you may not have thought of on your own (or may not have thought were easily within reach!):

• Use stencils to create wall motifs. The final finish could be unique patterns, shapes, or designs like Moroccan Trellis or Harlequin-style graphics.
• Refining the look of bedrooms using soft metallic paint
• Using stripes or color-blocking to add visual interest
• Color washing to create a rustic Tuscan bedroom

8. Decorative Painting Becomes Possible

Decorative painting involves creating a paint finish that serves an ornamental or functional role in your home or office. Some people want decorative painting in a new-construction home, while others want something that blends well with current furniture and lighting. Opting for decorative painting over traditional styles has several advantages for your home.

• Creates a multitude of effects and colors in your space, creating textural interest
• Infinite color applications both indoors and outdoors
• Decorative paint can be waterproof or make your surfaces slip-resistant, the same way traditional paint can be

Typical decorative painting includes plastic or latex paint, acrylic, vinyl, synthetic enamel, primer paints, and varnishes. A professional painting company specializing in decorative painting will first assess your home and share several innovative ideas, then decide on appropriate materials, painting techniques, and trendy decorative painting styles.
