Our Break Room and Cafeteria Painting Process

Comprehensive Site Assessment and Planning


We begin with a detailed assessment of your break room or cafeteria space, identifying specific challenges and opportunities for improvement. Our team evaluates existing conditions including surface types, previous paint applications, damage areas, and potential moisture or ventilation issues that could affect the new paint job.


The data collected during this assessment helps us develop a customized project plan tailored to your facility's unique requirements. We then provide you with a detailed proposal that outlines scope, timeline, materials, and recommendations based on our professional evaluation.

Thorough Surface Preparation and Protection


Our preparation phase includes covering and protecting all fixtures, furniture, equipment, and flooring before any work begins. We repair damaged drywall, fill cracks and holes, sand uneven surfaces, and address any moisture or mold issues to create the ideal foundation for new paint.


Professional-grade primers are applied to ensure proper adhesion and uniform appearance of the finish coats, especially important in areas with food odors or grease buildup. This meticulous preparation is the key to a long-lasting, professional finish that will maintain its appearance despite the challenging conditions of break room and cafeteria environments.

Expert Application of Specialized Coatings


Our painting technicians are trained in the specific techniques required for food service environments, ensuring even application and proper coverage. We use only premium-quality paints designed for commercial kitchens, break rooms, and cafeterias, with options including low-VOC, antimicrobial, and scuff-resistant formulations.


Multiple coats are applied as needed, with appropriate drying time between applications to achieve the most durable and attractive finish possible. Our systematic approach guarantees consistent results and exceptional quality that meets the highest standards in the commercial painting industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does a typical break room or cafeteria painting project take to complete?

    Most standard-sized break room projects can be completed within 2-3 days, while larger cafeterias may require 3-5 days depending on the scope of work and preparation needed. We create detailed schedules that minimize disruption to your employees' meal breaks and can work during off-hours or weekends if needed.

  • What types of paint are best for areas where food is prepared or consumed?

    We recommend semi-gloss or gloss finishes for break rooms and cafeterias as they resist moisture and are easier to clean than flat paints. Our commercial-grade, food-safe options include antimicrobial properties that inhibit mold and mildew growth in these moisture-prone environments.

  • Can you work around our operating hours to avoid disrupting employee meal times?

    Absolutely, we understand the importance of maintaining access to break rooms and cafeterias during peak usage times. Our team can develop a phased approach, working in sections during off-hours, or create a weekend schedule that ensures the space is fully operational when your employees need it.

  • How often should commercial break rooms and cafeterias be repainted?

    Most commercial break rooms and cafeterias benefit from repainting every 3-5 years depending on usage levels and cleaning frequency. High-traffic areas like serving lines or coffee stations may need touch-ups more frequently, while seating areas typically maintain their appearance longer.


  • Do you offer color consultation specifically for break room and cafeteria environments?

    Yes, our design consultants specialize in commercial space color planning and understand the unique considerations for food service areas.
