Painting and coatings for movie theaters.
Theaters need dark auditoriums, bright lobbies and finishes that hide wear between cleanings. McAllister Painting prepares, paints and coats auditorium walls and ceilings, lobbies, corridors, restrooms and exteriors, with the work scheduled around overnight after the last show, auditorium by auditorium.

What the work involves
What movie theaters need from a painting contractor.
Dark dryfall ceilings and acoustic surfaces are handled with the right products and methods.
Like every McAllister project, movie theaters work runs through planning, preparation, application and quality control. The planning stage settles access, hours, containment and products with you or the general contractor. Preparation is matched to each substrate so the finish has something sound to hold on to. Application follows the product data sheet and the specification, and every area is checked before it is handed back.
McAllister works as a subcontractor to general contractors on new construction and build-outs, and directly for owners and facility managers on buildings that are already in use, across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Related projects

Retail storefront painting
Retail exteriors painted outside trading hours for a grocery store, a cinema and an electronics store, with lifts staged so the doors opened on time.
Entertainment and Recreation
Other entertainment and recreation facilities.
Arcades
Arcades are dark, busy and full of equipment, so finishes are chosen for durability and the work is planned around the machines.
Auditoriums
Auditoriums have tall walls, ceilings and seating that need lift access and careful protection.
Basketball Courts
Gym walls, structure and court areas take balls, bodies and constant activity.
Bowling Alleys
Bowling centers mix a concourse, lanes, a bar and arcade areas, often open late.
Casinos
Casinos run around the clock, so painting happens in small, contained phases with no interruption to the floor.
Commercial Bathrooms
Public restrooms need finishes that survive humidity, cleaning chemicals and constant use.
Country Clubs
Clubhouses, pro shops, locker rooms and dining rooms call for a higher level of finish, delivered around members.
Golf Simulators
Simulator bays need dark, non-reflective finishes and durable walls that take the occasional mishit.
Museums
Gallery walls are repainted constantly between exhibits and have to be flawless under gallery lighting.
Playgrounds
Playground structures, shade canopies and surrounding buildings take sun, rain and children every day.
Splash Pads
Splash pads and wet play areas need slip-resistant, water-tolerant coatings and structures that resist constant wetting.
Stadiums and Arenas
Stadiums and arenas are large structures with concourses, seating bowls, suites and back of house, painted between seasons.
