Education
Ready when the students come back.
Educational facilities run on a calendar, and so does the work. McAllister paints classrooms, corridors, gyms and cafeterias over breaks and after hours, coats corridor and shop floors, and hands the building back clean on the date the school set. Recent work includes 250,000 square feet of walls, doors and ceilings at Troy Elementary School in 8 weeks.
- Summer, holiday and after-hours scheduling
- Durable, cleanable finishes for high-traffic walls
- Wallpaper removal and level 5 drywall
- Floor coatings for corridors, labs and shops
Facilities
Education facilities we work in.
Each facility type has its own page with the surfaces, schedule and services that apply.
Child Care Facilities
Child care centers need finishes that are safe, washable and bright, applied when the children are not in the building.
Locker Rooms
Locker rooms are wet, humid and hard on finishes, so the products and the preparation have to be chosen for constant moisture.
Schools
Schools are repainted around the calendar: summer break, holidays and after hours, with the building ready when students return.
Universities and Colleges
Campuses have everything from lecture halls and labs to dormitories and athletic facilities, usually on a tight summer schedule.
How we approach it
A firm date, a clear sequence, a clean handover.
School projects are won or lost on the schedule. McAllister sets the sequence building by building and wing by wing, brings the crew size the window demands, and checks each area before it is released so there is nothing left for the first day of class.
Products are chosen for the way students use a building: scrubbable walls, durable doors and trim, and floor coatings that take daily traffic and cleaning. On GC projects the specification and finish schedule govern, and submittals go in before any paint is ordered.
Services
Most often scoped for education.
Commercial & Industrial Painting
Interior and exterior painting for warehouses, plants, schools, retail and offices, scheduled around your operation and delivered to the specification, as a subcontractor or direct.
Drywall
Drywall hanging, taping, finishing and repair for commercial interiors, coordinated with our framing and painting so the general contractor deals with one sub.

Questions
Education questions.
Still have a question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
Can you work while the education facility stays open?
Usually, yes. Most projects are phased or scheduled after hours so the facility keeps operating. The sequence, access and containment are agreed before the crew arrives.
Do you work for general contractors or directly for owners?
Both. McAllister bids and carries the Division 9 finish scope for general contractors, and works directly for owners and facility managers on existing buildings.
Where do you take on this work?
McAllister is based in Slocomb, Alabama and works across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. Send the location and scope with your quote request and we will confirm whether it fits our schedule.
