One Vendor for the Full Scope: Most tenant improvement projects involve painting, drywall repair, and minor carpentry — all in the same space, on the same timeline. Highmark handles all three under one invoice. No coordinating multiple contractors. One call, one crew, one handoff.
Office Tenant Improvements
When a new tenant moves in, an existing tenant refreshes, or a lease renewal prompts a space upgrade — Highmark handles the painting, repair, and finish work that makes a commercial space feel new and ready to occupy.
Full Suite Repaint — Move-In Ready — Complete office suite repainted in preparation for a new tenant — walls, ceilings, trim, and any accent elements. Neutral or custom palette per tenant specification.
Accent Wall & Brand Color Application — Feature walls, conference room accent colors, and brand identity colors applied — tenant's color scheme executed precisely.
Executive Finish Upgrade — Higher-end finishes for client-facing spaces — premium paint lines, Level 5 skim coat prep, and fine trim work for boardrooms and executive suites.
Lobby & Reception Refresh — Lobby and reception areas repainted and repaired — the most important first impression for any business address.
Conference Room Overhaul — Conference room repainted, whiteboard walls installed, projection surfaces addressed — fully prepared for the next tenant.
Break Room Refresh — Break room and kitchen area repainted with moisture-appropriate finishes and surfaces repaired from previous occupant wear.
Drywall Repair — Post-Tenant
Tenant move-outs leave drywall damage. Mounting hardware, cable runs, furniture scuffs, and general occupancy wear all require repair before the next tenant can take the space. Highmark repairs, textures, and paints — all in one scope.
Mounting Hardware Hole Repair — All holes from picture hooks, monitor mounts, signage anchors, and TV brackets filled, sanded, and finished.
Cable Run Patch — Cuts in drywall from cable or data runs patched and finished — common after a technology-heavy tenant vacates.
Impact & Scuff Damage — Furniture-impact damage, scuffs from equipment moves, and door-swing damage repaired throughout the space.
Large Panel Replacement — Sections too damaged for patching cut out and replaced — properly taped, finished, and painted to match.
Ceiling Repair — Recessed Lighting — Ceiling openings from removed recessed fixtures or speaker installations patched and finished.
Full-Space Damage Documentation — We photograph and document all tenant damage before repair — useful for security deposit reconciliation.
Leasehold Improvements & Build-Out Support
Beyond turnover repair and repainting, Highmark supports commercial landlords and tenants with the finish and repair elements of leasehold improvement projects — the work that happens after the general contractor hands off.
Finish Painting — New Construction — Final coat painting after construction — over fresh drywall, new millwork, and new trim. Coordination with GC handoff schedule.
Touch-Up After Trade Work — Paint touch-ups after electricians, plumbers, and other trades complete their work — the final step before tenant occupancy.
Trim & Millwork Installation Support — New baseboard, door casings, and accent millwork installed and painted — the finish carpentry that completes a commercial build-out.
Cabinet & Built-In Installation — Break room cabinets, reception millwork, and built-in storage installed — functional improvements included in a TI package.
Floor Prep — Paint Removal — Paint, adhesive, and surface material removed from concrete floors in preparation for new flooring installation.
Final Clean-Up Painting — Last-pass painting before keys are handed to the incoming tenant — the standard we would want to walk into ourselves.
Retail & Restaurant Tenant Improvements
Retail and restaurant tenant improvements move fast — the sooner the business opens, the sooner revenue starts. Highmark is experienced working on accelerated TI timelines alongside GCs, electricians, and equipment installers.
Storefront & Entry Preparation — Front-of-house painting and repair completed before signage and fixtures are installed — proper sequencing with other trades.
Dining Room Build-Out Painting — Restaurant dining room painted and finished — including accent walls, feature ceilings, and specialty finishes for upscale concepts.
Kitchen Area Wall Repair & Paint — Commercial kitchen wall surfaces repaired and painted with appropriate commercial-grade finishes rated for food service environments.
Retail Floor & Fitting Room — Retail floor area, fitting rooms, and stockroom painted — often on a very compressed timeline before fixture installation.
Brand Color Application — Franchise — Franchise location built out to brand color standards — we work from corporate paint specifications.
