We Do Much More than Painting to Make Your Job Easier.
Making Construction Simpler, One Scope at a Time
MANAGING A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT OFTEN FEELS LIKE JUGGLING TOO MANY BALLS AT ONCE. THERE ARE COUNTLESS CONTRACTS TO REVIEW, SCHEDULES TO COORDINATE, AND SUBCONTRACTORS TO OVERSEE. FROM PERMITS TO PROCUREMENT, KEEPING TRACK OF OTHER SERVICES ESSENTIAL TO THE PROJECT CAN BE OVERWHELMING. IT’S A BALANCING ACT THAT DEMANDS PRECISION AND FOCUS, YET EVEN THE BEST PLANS CAN BE DERAILED BY UNFORESEEN CHALLENGES.
THAT’S WHERE WORKING WITH A CONTRACTOR OFFERING COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. BY CONSOLIDATING MULTIPLE SCOPES OF WORK UNDER ONE RELIABLE PARTNER, YOU CAN SAVE TIME, REDUCE HASSLE, AND ENSURE SMOOTHER PROJECT EXECUTION.
AT CANTERBURY CONTRACTORS, WE UNDERSTAND HOW VALUABLE THAT SIMPLICITY CAN BE.
More Than Painting: A Holistic Approach to Building
When you hear "painting contractor," you might picture a team rolling paint onto walls and ceilings. While that’s part of what we do, it’s far from the whole story. At Canterbury, we’ve built our reputation on providing a range of services designed to meet the complex needs of today’s commercial construction projects.
Our expertise extends well beyond painting, encompassing industrial coatings, intumescent fireproofing, concrete floor polishing, and more. But it doesn’t stop there. We also offer services that other companies might overlook—services that make life easier for our clients.
From drywall and framing, shop powder coated metals, to decorative wall finishes, Canterbury brings a full suite of solutions to the table
WHILE MOST SUBCONTRACTORS STICK TO THEIR CORE TRADE, CANTERBURY’S ABILITY TO PACKAGE RELATED SERVICES, LIKE WALL COVERINGS, DRYWALL, OR WATERPROOFING, OFFERS A UNIQUE EDGE. IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT DOING MORE—IT’S ABOUT DOING IT SMARTER.
Structuring Success: Drywall, Metal Framing, and Other Services
Drywall and metal stud framing are essential to most commercial construction projects. Yet, managing a separate drywall company adds a layer of complexity to your project. Think of the extra contracts to write, additional coordination, and sequencing of trades on site—especially when integrating other services into the workflow.
Canterbury eliminates these issues by integrating drywall and framing into our service lineup. Our experienced team ensures precision and efficiency, so you don’t have to worry about juggling yet another contractor. With one point of contact for painting, drywall, and beyond, you’ll gain more control over the timeline and fewer headaches along the way.
This approach not only simplifies scheduling but also ensures a consistent standard of quality across the entire project—a detail that busy clients truly appreciate.
Turning Walls into Statements: Decorative Finishes and Coverings
Walls aren’t just functional—they’re an opportunity to make an impression. Whether it’s a sleek, modern office or a high-end retail space, the right wall coverings or finishes can transform an ordinary space into something memorable.
Canterbury offers a range of decorative wall finishes and coverings designed to meet the unique needs of each project. From textured vinyl and fabric panels to custom painted graphics, we ensure the materials match both the design vision and the practical requirements of the space.
Why It Matters:
Decorative finishes elevate the visual appeal of interiors while also providing durability.
Wall coverings can offer acoustic benefits, especially in corporate and life-science facilities.
With Canterbury handling the installation, you can count on a seamless process and a stunning result.
Finishes Built to Last: Powder Coating with Precision
Metal surfaces are everywhere in commercial construction—from railings and door frames to structural elements. While these components need to look great, they also need to withstand wear and tear. Powder coating is a practical, cost-effective solution that checks both boxes.
Canterbury’s in-house powder coating services offer a durable, uniform finish that outperforms many site-applied alternatives. This process involves applying a dry powder to metal components and curing it under heat, creating a tough, attractive coating.
The Benefits of Powder Coating:
Longer-lasting finishes with excellent resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading.
A controlled environment for application ensures consistency in color and texture.
Reduced environmental impact compared to traditional liquid paints.
By handling this service in-house, Canterbury helps streamline your project while providing the highest-quality results.
A Building’s First Line of Defense
In the Bay Area, where weather can shift dramatically, waterproofing isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity. Proper waterproofing protects structures from moisture, preventing costly issues like mold, mildew, or structural damage.
Canterbury Contractors provides waterproofing solutions tailored to each project’s unique needs, ensuring that buildings remain secure and durable in challenging conditions. Whether it’s sealing a manufacturing facility or safeguarding a corporate campus, Canterbury’s expertise ensures that CLIENTS can trust their investments will stand the test of time.
Flexibility with Purpose: The Power of a B Contractor License
In construction, flexibility is often the key to solving complex challenges. Canterbury’s B contractor license allows us to offer an adaptable approach to packaging related scopes of work.
Instead of managing multiple specialty contractors, you can rely on us to handle everything from painting and drywall to powder coating and decorative finishes.
This versatility extends to our network of trusted lower-tier subcontractors. When a project demands additional expertise or manpower, we coordinate these resources seamlessly, ensuring quality and efficiency without adding to your workload.
As Frank Gehry, a visionary architect, once said: “The best advice I’ve received is to simplify.” By consolidating services, Canterbury helps you simplify your projects, saving you time and reducing unnecessary complexity.
Efficiency at Its Best: Managing Fewer Subs, Saving More Time
Coordinating multiple trades on a project can be a logistical nightmare. Schedules overlap, communication lines blur, and one delay can ripple across the entire timeline. By bundling related services under one subcontractor, you can avoid these pitfalls.
Canterbury provides a single point of contact, so you don’t have to juggle multiple schedules or field questions from different subcontractors. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also minimizes the risk of miscommunication and costly mistakes.
How This Plays Out in Real Projects:
Improved Timelines: Bundling drywall, painting, and coatings under one team reduces downtime between trades.
Consistent Quality: With fewer subs involved, there’s greater control over the standard of work.
Cost Savings: Fewer contracts often mean reduced overhead and administrative costs.
Expertise in Every Detail: Why Other Services Matter
Every construction project has its unique challenges, and having a partner who can adapt to those needs is invaluable. Canterbury’s versatility across painting, coatings, drywall, and more means that no matter the scope, we’ve got you covered.
This adaptability doesn’t just benefit individual tasks—it ensures the entire project runs smoothly. Our team understands the bigger picture and works collaboratively to ensure each element contributes to a successful outcome.
Simplifying Success, One Contract at a Time with Other Services
At the end of the day, what our clients need most is peace of mind. Canterbury delivers that by offering a comprehensive set of services designed to make your job easier. Fewer contracts, smoother schedules, and a partner who truly understands your needs—that’s what sets us apart.
When you’re ready to take the stress out of managing your next project, consider how Canterbury can simplify the process. Let us be the partner that makes construction simpler, one scope at a time.
