Fjelland Floors Building Repaint
Project Overview
Fjelland Floors runs a customer-facing flooring store in McMinnville, OR, and the building’s exterior was showing its age. Mold and mildew had taken hold on the siding, and the old paint was bubbling in spots. We handled the full commercial exterior painting job, roughly 3,816 square feet of wall surface plus fascia, doors, columns, and the front brick.
A three-person crew led by Sergio Zepada power washed, prepped, and sprayed the building with Rodda Covercoat XL paint, finishing in about five working days. This size of building generally costs in the range of $10,000 to $15,000.

Why This Project Matters
For a business like Fjelland Floors, the storefront is the first thing customers see before they walk in. Bubbling paint and visible mildew send the wrong message, so cleaning up the exterior was as much about the business’s first impression as it was about protecting the siding.
Challenges Faced
- Surface mold and mildew across the siding, which had to be killed and washed off before any paint went on.
- Bubbling and failing paint in several areas that needed scraping back to a sound surface, budgeted at about 16 hours on its own.
Our Commercial Exterior Painting Process in McMinnville, OR
- Power washed all 3,816 square feet with a mildew-remover cleaner to kill surface mold and mildew.
- Scraped the bubbling and failing paint back to a sound, paintable surface.
- Caulked the joints and masked off the windows and surrounding areas.
- Applied two coats of Agreeable Gray to the siding, fascia, doors, and columns for an even, durable finish.
- Painted the front brick in Dovetail to set off the entrance against the gray body.
Final Results of the McMinnville Commercial Exterior Repaint
The building went from mildew-streaked and peeling to a clean, uniform finish that holds up to McMinnville’s wet winters. The whole job wrapped in about five working days, coming in around 116 hours against an estimated 124, so we finished ahead of the budgeted time without cutting corners on prep.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does commercial exterior painting in McMinnville, OR cost?
This commercial exterior painting project ran in the $10,000 to $15,000 range for about 3,816 square feet of siding plus trim, doors, columns, and brick. Your price depends on the size of the building, the condition of the existing paint, and how much prep is involved.
What color did you use on the siding?
The main body is SW 7029 Agreeable Gray, a warm neutral gray, with SW 7018 Dovetail on the front brick for contrast.
How many coats of paint did you apply?
We applied two coats to the main surfaces, which is standard for an exterior repaint and gives even color and longer-lasting protection.
How long does a commercial exterior repaint take?
This building took about five working days with a three-person crew. Timing depends on square footage, weather, and how much scraping and prep the old paint needs.
Do you remove mold and mildew before painting?
Yes. We power wash with a mildew-remover cleaner to kill and rinse off surface mold and mildew before any paint goes on, so the new finish bonds to a clean surface.
