Exterior Commercial Painting at Ace Hardware in Richmond MI

We just wrapped up the exterior on Ace Hardware's second Richmond location, and the difference speaks for itself. The building had older white and grey painted block walls that were patchy, faded, and not doing the brand any favors. Not a great look for a high-traffic retail spot right on the main drag.

Here's what we were working with - faded block walls, worn paint on the side and rear of the building, and a front facade that needed a complete overhaul to match Ace's bold red branding. A commercial exterior like this takes real prep work. You can't just roll paint over weathered masonry and call it a day. We made sure the surfaces were properly prepped so the new color would bond correctly and hold up long-term.

The finished product is sharp. The iconic red really pops now, the storefront looks polished and put-together, and the side and rear walls went from washed-out white to a clean tan that ties the whole building together. It looks like a business that takes pride in what it does - which is exactly the point.

That's the thing about exterior painting on a commercial property. It's not just cosmetic. Paint protects masonry and siding from moisture, UV damage, and wear. A building that looks maintained signals to customers that the business inside is well-run. First impressions matter, and the exterior is the first thing anyone sees before they even walk through the door.

We love working with local businesses like Ace Hardware right here in Richmond. Whether it's a single storefront or a larger commercial property, we bring the same level of care and quality to every exterior painting job we take on.
