Painting and coatings for museums.
Gallery walls are repainted constantly between exhibits and have to be flawless under gallery lighting. McAllister Painting prepares, paints and coats gallery walls, ceilings, lobbies, corridors and exhibit structures, with the work scheduled around between exhibitions, often on short notice.

What the work involves
What museums need from a painting contractor.
Level 5 drywall finishing and precise color matching are the standard for gallery walls.
Like every McAllister project, museums 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.

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.

Specialty Finishes
Textured, accent and high-durability wall finishes for lobbies, corridors, retail floors and offices, chosen for appearance, cleanability and the traffic the wall will see.

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.
Movie Theaters
Theaters need dark auditoriums, bright lobbies and finishes that hide wear between cleanings.
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.
