Your Business Deserves to Look as Professional as You Are

This ambitious ceiling painting and wallcovering project in Annapolis, Maryland covered more than 60,000 square feet of exposed ceiling and thousands of square feet of interior walls, trim, and doors. DN Contracting delivered a complete interior painting package over the course of three months, transforming a large-scale commercial property into a polished, modern environment ready for tenant occupancy.

The project demanded precision, coordination, and efficiency—especially with the exposed ceiling portion, where over 700 gallons of paint were applied using specialized spray equipment to achieve an even, consistent finish across vast open areas. The cost reflected a premium commercial-grade execution that included drywall prep, trim detailing, and specialty finishes like Scuffmaster coatings and designer wallcovering installations. Despite its complexity, DN Contracting completed the job on schedule and within budget, ensuring quality and safety standards were met at every stage.

The client approached DN Contracting after experiencing multiple challenges with previous contractors on earlier phases of the project. Their main concerns were uneven paint application, overspray issues on exposed ceilings, and subpar wallcovering installation that detracted from the high-end finish they envisioned. They needed a partner who could not only handle the sheer scale of the work but also deliver impeccable craftsmanship under tight timelines.

From the very first walkthrough, DN Contracting understood the technical requirements. Our team developed a detailed execution plan that balanced efficiency with precision—particularly for the 10-day exposed ceiling phase, where the slightest mistake could affect lighting and visual uniformity across the open space.

Throughout the project, communication was constant. The client appreciated DN Contracting’s transparency, progress updates, and proactive adjustments when design specifications evolved mid-project. By the end, they described the experience as “the smoothest construction phase of the entire build,” crediting our attention to detail, adaptability, and consistent results across every surface.

By project completion, the space was completely transformed. The exposed ceilings, once dull and industrial, now had a clean, uniform finish that elevated the entire interior’s look and feel. The expansive walls carried smooth, consistent color with crisp trim lines. Designer wallcoverings provided a luxurious contrast to the neutral base tones, giving each zone a distinctive identity while maintaining cohesion across the property.

The client was impressed by how DN Contracting’s crew coordinated multiple crews simultaneously—painters, wallpaper installers, and finish specialists—without compromising quality or workflow. They praised the efficiency of the ceiling phase, especially completing over 60,000 square feet in just 10 days.

Their feedback summed it up perfectly: “This was the professional finish we’d been waiting for.” The final product met both aesthetic and performance expectations, leaving the client confident that the coatings and finishes would hold up beautifully under daily commercial use.

For DN Contracting, this Annapolis project is a showcase of what can be achieved when expertise, teamwork, and precision meet at scale—a testament to our commitment to doing commercial work right, every single time.
