Based in Norfolk, Virginia, we’ve earned a reputation for high-performance coatings, dependable crews, and project execution that aligns with the priorities of property managers, maintenance directors, and facility engineers.
We bring decades of painting experience and hold an SSPC QP1 certification—a mark of excellence in surface preparation and coating application.

Expert Exterior Painting Services Across the Mid-Atlantic
Our team delivers high-quality exterior painting services throughout Norfolk, Richmond, and the broader Mid-Atlantic region. From coastal commercial properties to inland industrial parks, we understand the environmental stressors buildings face in this region—from salt exposure and humidity to UV degradation and freeze-thaw cycles.
We’re not just a painting contractor—we’re a long-term service partner for property managers who need more than just a fresh coat. We help you protect your building envelope, extend the life of structural materials, and meet appearance and safety standards without disrupting your operations.
Why Professional Exterior Painting Matters
For commercial and industrial buildings, exterior painting is about more than looks. It protects your assets, reduces long-term maintenance costs, and plays a role in compliance. Peeling coatings, rust, and mold can lead to safety issues, citations, or early failure of critical materials like steel, concrete, and masonry.
The right exterior coating system helps:
Resist water intrusion, mold, and mildew
Block UV damage and color fading
Prevent corrosion on structural steel and metal exteriors
Improve tenant and visitor perception
Maintain property value and professional appearance
At Caligari Gerloff Painting, we assess the condition of your existing coatings, recommend systems based on exposure levels and building materials, and complete your project using proven products from leading manufacturers.
SSPC QP1 Certified for Industrial-Grade Exterior Painting
As an SSPC QP1-certified contractor, we meet strict quality standards set by the Society for Protective Coatings. This certification confirms that our team is trained and equipped to complete exterior painting projects in industrial and high-risk environments—including infrastructure, utility facilities, and secure government sites.
It also means we follow verified procedures for:
Surface Preparation
Using methods like abrasive blasting or pressure washing
Environmental Protection
Through containment and proper waste disposal
Project Documentation
And quality control inspections
Coating Application
By brush, roll, or spray depending on the structure and product
Jobsite Safety
In active or hazardous environments
This level of certification sets us apart from general commercial painters and gives property managers confidence when hiring us for mission-critical projects.
