Painting and coatings for schools.
Schools are repainted around the calendar: summer break, holidays and after hours, with the building ready when students return. McAllister Painting prepares, paints and coats classrooms, corridors, gyms, cafeterias, offices, doors and exteriors, with the work scheduled around summer break, holidays and after hours, with areas handed back on a set date.

What the work involves
What schools need from a painting contractor.
McAllister has painted 250,000 square feet of walls, doors and ceilings in a single school over 8 weeks, including wallpaper removal and level 5 drywall refinishing.
Like every McAllister project, schools 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.

Education
Other education facilities.
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.

Universities and Colleges
Campuses have everything from lecture halls and labs to dormitories and athletic facilities, usually on a tight summer schedule.
