Healthcare
Painting and coatings for buildings that never close.
Healthcare facilities are occupied around the clock and regulated in every detail. McAllister works after hours and in phases, uses containment and negative air where the work calls for it, and brings the exterior coating experience of VA medical center projects in Nashville and Mississippi and interior work at veterans homes and clinics across Alabama.
- After-hours, weekend and phased scheduling
- Containment and negative air for dust and silica
- Exterior coatings from swing stages and lifts
- Wall protection, drywall and wallpaper removal
Facilities
Healthcare facilities we work in.
Each facility type has its own page with the surfaces, schedule and services that apply.
Emergency Rooms
Emergency departments never close, so painting happens in small contained zones with infection control in mind.
Hospitals
Hospitals are occupied, regulated buildings where the painting plan has to respect infection control, patient care and the facility schedule.
Operating Rooms
Operating rooms demand seamless, cleanable surfaces and absolute control of dust and odor.
Vet Clinics
Veterinary clinics need finishes that handle animals, odors and heavy cleaning, delivered around appointments.
How we approach it
Patients and staff first, then the finish.
Healthcare work is planned with nursing and facilities leadership before the crew arrives: which areas, which hours, which products and what containment. McAllister has removed wallpaper and refinished walls at a healthcare facility in Enterprise working nights and weekends, using negative air to keep silica from traveling so the space was safe for patients and staff the next business day.
Exterior work on medical campuses runs from swing stages and lifts around entrances, ambulance routes and helipads, with every elevation sequenced with the facility. On VA projects McAllister has worked alongside general contractors including Advantage Contracting and Meridian Contractors.
Services
Most often scoped for healthcare.
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.
Exterior Surfaces & Moisture Protection
Exterior painting, surface preparation, joint sealing and protective coatings for commercial and industrial buildings, planned to keep water out of the envelope and the building looking cared for.
Drywall
Drywall hanging, taping, finishing and repair for commercial interiors, coordinated with our framing and painting so the general contractor deals with one sub.
Commercial Coatings
Protective coating systems for structural steel, metal panels, masonry, concrete, tanks and overhead structure, selected for the exposure and applied over proper preparation.

Questions
Healthcare questions.
Still have a question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
Can you work while the facility is occupied?
Yes. Healthcare work is normally done after hours, on weekends and in small phases, with containment and negative air where dust or silica is a concern. The plan is agreed with facilities and nursing leadership before the crew arrives.
Do you work on VA and government healthcare projects?
Yes. McAllister has completed exterior coating work at the Nashville VA Medical Center and the Sonny Montgomery VA Medical Center, and interior and exterior painting at the Bennie G. Adkins State Veterans Home in Enterprise, Alabama.
What products do you use in patient areas?
Products are submitted for approval and selected for low odor, cleanability and the facility standard. Where a specification exists it governs; where it does not, we recommend systems proven in healthcare interiors.
