If you’ve built a solid residential bath, countertop and cabinet refinishing business, expanding into the commercial market might be your next smartest move.

Commercial refinishing opens the door to new opportunities, bigger clients, and more revenue, and the work is often more straightforward than you’d expect.

Why Expand Now?

Property managers, hotel chains, and apartment complexes are constantly looking for cost-effective ways to maintain their units without the disruption and expense of full replacements. That’s where you come in.

By offering commercial refinishing services, you position yourself as a valuable partner to businesses that need reliable, repeatable results.

The Real Advantages

Let’s talk about the benefits that matter:

  • ✔ Larger Paychecks – Commercial jobs often involve multiple units or large-scale projects, meaning more money per job and less time spent chasing individual leads.
  • ✔ Recurring Contracts – Many businesses need ongoing work. Think of regular updates to hotel bathrooms or unit turnover in apartment complexes. These relationships lead to long-term, steady income.
  • ✔ Less Picky Clients – Unlike residential jobs where homeowners may fixate on every detail, commercial clients prioritize efficiency and consistency. They need the work done right and fast.

What You’ll Be Working On

Commercial refinishing usually focuses on high-traffic areas that need frequent updating but minimal downtime. This includes:

  • ✔ Bathtubs
  • ✔ Shower stalls
  • ✔ Tile floors

These surfaces wear down quickly in commercial spaces, but refinishing them is faster and far more cost-effective than replacement.
