We are uniquely equipped to handle the incredibly diverse architecture and industries of Rhode Island.

Hospitality & Coastal Tourism

Tourism is the lifeblood of Rhode Island. We ensure your property looks pristine and welcoming.

Hotels, Resorts & B&Bs: We provide phased, floor-by-floor interior painting so you never have to fully shut down. We also restore exterior wood, stucco, and balconies.
Restaurants & Retail: We paint dining rooms, kitchens, and retail storefronts, offering custom color matching to perfectly align with your brand identity.

Marine & Industrial Coatings

The Ocean State requires heavy-duty protection against constant moisture and salt.

Corrosion Control: We utilize abrasive blasting and apply high-performance Zinc and Macropoxy coatings to structural steel, shipyards, port cranes, and storage tanks to stop rust in its tracks.
Manufacturing & Warehousing: We install thermal-shock-resistant Urethane Cement floors for food processing plants and spray “Dryfall” ceilings in massive distribution centers.

Corporate & Institutional Real Estate

Office Buildings: From lobby renovations to exterior high-rise swing-stage painting, we keep Providence’s corporate real estate looking sharp.
Schools & Healthcare: We apply highly durable, scuff-resistant, and antimicrobial coatings for universities, local school districts, and medical facilities.

Problem-Solving Specialty Services

Waterproofing: We cut out and replace failing caulking (expansion joints) and apply Elastomeric coatings to concrete and masonry to stop leaks permanently.
Light Poles & Signage: We eradicate rust and refinish parking lot light poles and massive sign pylons to protect your customers and enhance curb appeal.

Defending Against the Coastal Climate

Rhode Island’s geography is beautiful, but it is brutal on commercial buildings. If your painter uses standard, off-the-shelf residential paint on your commercial property, it will fail within a year. RSP uses industrial chemistry to fight the elements:

Salt Spray & Ocean Air: Coastal properties in Narragansett, Newport, and Middletown are constantly battered by salt air, which eats through standard paint and rapidly rusts metal. We use Marine-Grade Urethanes and Siloxane sealers that repel water and resist salt degradation.
High Winds & Nor’easters: Wind-driven rain will find every microscopic crack in your building’s facade. Our thick-build Elastomeric waterproofing systems create a rubberized, flexible shield that bridges structural cracks and keeps water out.
Summer UV Rays: The intense summer sun fades vibrant brand colors quickly. We utilize Aliphatic Polyurethanes that offer extreme UV stability, ensuring your building’s color stays bright and glossy for a decade or more.

Service Areas: Covering All of Rhode Island

We don’t just service the big cities; our mobile crews cover the entire state of Rhode Island, including:

Providence County: Providence, Cranston, Warwick, Pawtucket, East Providence, Woonsocket, Johnston.

Kent & Bristol Counties: Coventry, West Warwick, Bristol, Warren, Barrington.

Frequently Asked Questions (Rhode Island Commercial Painting)

Q: We have a small standalone retail shop. Will you take a job that size? A: Yes! We love our small business clients. While we have the size to paint massive industrial plants, we take equal pride in making a local Rhode Island boutique look incredible. You will get the same premium service and attention to detail as our largest corporate clients.

Q: Our building is historic. Can you safely prep and paint it? A: Absolutely. Rhode Island is famous for its historic architecture. We specialize in lead-safe practices, gentle low-pressure washing, and the application of breathable historical coatings that preserve and protect original brick, stone, and wood without causing damage.

Q: Can you work around our restaurant’s busy hours? A: Yes. We specialize in 3rd-shift (overnight) work. We can arrive after your kitchen closes, paint the dining room using odorless Zero-VOC paints, and have the space clean and ready for your breakfast or lunch rush the next day.

Q: What is the benefit of your Elastomeric coating over regular paint? A: Regular acrylic paint is purely cosmetic—it forms a thin film that cracks when the building expands and contracts. Elastomeric coating goes on up to 10 times thicker and is highly flexible (like a rubber band). It is a functional waterproofing system that protects your asset from water intrusion.
