Challenges Faced During the Project
Every exterior commercial painting project presents unique challenges.
For this project, our team needed to address:
- Oxidation buildup on the metal roof and siding
- Areas of exposed bare wood requiring primer
- Multiple substrate types including metal, wood, and fiberglass
- Protecting windows and non-painted surfaces
- Achieving uniform coverage across large exterior surfaces
- Working efficiently while maintaining coating quality
Proper preparation was critical to ensuring long-term coating adhesion and performance.
Our Approach & Commercial Painting Process
Surface Cleaning and Preparation
The first step involved applying an oxidation cleaning solution to both the roof and siding. After the cleaner had done its job, we pressure washed all surfaces to remove dirt, chalking, oxidation, and contaminants.
This preparation process created a clean substrate for proper coating adhesion.
Priming Bare Wood Areas
Once the building was clean and dry, we applied primer to all exposed wood areas, primarily around:
- The roll-up door
- Overhang sections
- Other isolated bare wood surfaces
Proper priming helps seal porous surfaces and creates a stronger bond for finish coats.
Protection and Masking
Before painting began, our crew carefully protected:
- Windows
- Fiberglass panels
- Ground surfaces
- Areas not receiving paint
- Lower wood sections designated to remain unpainted
Attention to detail during masking helps create clean lines and professional results.
Commercial Roof Painting
The roof received:
- Two full coats of Rodda Industrial Silicone Alkyd Enamel
This industrial-grade coating provides excellent durability and weather resistance for metal roofing systems.
Commercial Siding Painting
The siding received a complete three-coat system:
- One coat of Rodda Metal Master Bonding Primer
- First coat of Rodda Multi Master VST
- Second coat of Rodda Multi Master VST
This system promotes excellent adhesion and long-lasting performance.
Trim and Detail Painting
Trim components, including:
- Gutters
- Fascia boards
- Corner boards
- Door frames
Primer & Color:
- Metal Master Bonding Primer
- Two finish coats of Multi Master VST in the designated trim color
Doors and Covered Areas
The following surfaces were coated in the body color:
- Roll-up door
- Man door
- Covered wood areas
- Ceiling surfaces beneath covered sections
This created a clean, consistent appearance throughout the building.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does commercial roof painting last?
When properly prepared and coated with quality industrial coatings, commercial roof paint systems can provide many years of protection and performance.
Why is oxidation removal important before roof painting?
Oxidation can prevent proper coating adhesion. Removing oxidation helps ensure the paint bonds correctly and performs as intended.
What paint is best for commercial metal siding?
The best system depends on the substrate and conditions. Bonding primers and high-quality industrial coatings are commonly recommended for metal siding applications.
How often should commercial buildings be repainted?
Most commercial buildings benefit from routine inspections and repainting cycles based on exposure, coating condition, and maintenance goals.
Does commercial painting help protect agricultural buildings?
Yes. Professional commercial painting helps protect agricultural and vineyard buildings from moisture, UV damage, corrosion, and general weathering.
