It depends on scope, access, and whether your building is occupied. A single tenant suite might take a few days. A full common-area refresh in an occupied Class A building could take several weeks, phased around tenant schedules. Building exteriors typically run two to eight weeks depending on square footage, height, and prep requirements. Timeline estimates are built into every proposal so you know what to plan around.

Yes. Most of our commercial work happens in occupied buildings, and a significant portion runs during off-hours, weekends, or in zoned phases that keep your tenants and operations moving. We handle tenant notifications, courtesy signage, and any property-specific communication requirements.

Yes. MB Jessee is an approved vendor with many individual property management firms across the Bay Area. If your property uses a specific vendor management system, we can typically enroll or update our profile quickly. Insurance certificates and additional insured endorsements are standard.

All MB Jessee field staff receive OSHA training. Our crews are certified for aerial lift, scissor lift, and boom operation, and we follow fall protection and respiratory protection protocols on every project. We are also Summit Safety Certified, a third-party safety qualification that includes independent review of our safety program, training records, and field practices.

No. Every MB Jessee project is staffed with our in-house W-2 employees. That means consistent crews on your property, one point of accountability, and no rotating unfamiliar workers in your occupied buildings.

Yes. Wallcovering installation and removal, decorative and specialty finishes, and finish carpentry are all part of our in-house capabilities. For commercial repaints where wood repair or dry rot remediation is needed before painting, our carpentry team handles that scope rather than requiring you to coordinate a separate contractor.

Two warranties apply to every MB Jessee commercial project:

• Contractor workmanship warranty (5 years). MB Jessee warrants labor and materials for a period of five years from substantial completion. If paint failure appears within that period due to our application, we supply the labor and materials to correct it at no cost. The warranty excludes consequential damages and issues outside our control, including normal wear and tear, structural defects, moisture intrusion from other sources, and damage from settlement or accident.

• Manufacturer coating warranty. The coating system itself carries the manufacturer's warranty (Sherwin-Williams, PPG, Benjamin Moore, or the specified manufacturer). Duration varies by product and typically runs from 5 to 25 years on high-performance systems. We provide the product data sheets and manufacturer warranty documentation in the project closeout package.

Warranty terms are documented in the proposal so you can review them before we start work.

Yes. MB Jessee is California-licensed (Lic. No. 702138), bonded, and carries general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can provide insurance certificates and add additional insured endorsements where required.

We work with in-house color and specification support, and we also coordinate directly with owners, architects, interior designers, and property management design standards. If your property has an approved color palette or brand standard, we work within it. If you're starting from scratch, we can walk you through options.

Yes. For qualified prospects, we can arrange a reference call and, in many cases, a walk-through of completed work at a Bay Area property. Contact us and we'll match the reference to the type of property you're planning to scope.

A walk-through is the best place to start. We come on-site, look at the scope, and follow up with a written proposal that names products, methods, timing, and any coordination requirements. You can reach us at (510) 655-7000 or use the request form below.
