Wilton Manors, Broward County

Commercial painting in Wilton Manors

Wilton Manors has shaped Wilton Drive with Main Street Design Guidelines adopted in 2006 and an Arts & Entertainment District, and in 2025 it adopted a Public Art Masterplan that proposes murals. A commercial wall on the Drive is part of a street the city has designed on purpose.

The city's Resolution No. 2025-074 states that community planning initiatives produced a lively Arts & Entertainment District and that the 2006 guidelines have contributed to an enhanced Wilton Drive environment. It adds that building codes adopted in 2023 further encourage public art in certain types of private development. The resolution follows ordinances adopted in August 2024 and September 2025.

We did not find a published rule on how private murals or commercial color changes are approved. A building on the Drive may be a candidate for public art, so the owner should know whether a wall is part of that plan before it is painted over in a plain field color.

Romco starts with Community Development Services: does the repaint need review, and does the wall touch the public art program. Then the work plans around foot traffic and evening trade on the Drive, with early starts, short closures for each storefront, and masking that protects sidewalk seating. If a wall is slated for a mural, the base coat and primer are chosen with the artist's surface in mind.

Questions

Commercial painting in Wilton Manors

Does Wilton Manors encourage public art on private buildings?

Yes. Resolution No. 2025-074 says building codes adopted in 2023 further encourage public art in certain types of private development, and the masterplan proposes murals.

What does commercial painting cost?

Every job is quoted from a walk of the building, or from photos and drawings when they show enough. The number depends on the surfaces and their condition, how much prep and repair they need, the coating system, the access each elevation needs, whether people stay inside during the work, and what approvals come first. We do not publish rates, because two buildings that look alike rarely are.

What about lead paint on an older building?

Paint applied before 1978 can contain lead. Federal EPA rules on renovation, repair and painting cover work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 housing and in child-occupied facilities, and where they apply the work is done by a certified firm with lead-safe practices. We check the building's age and use before the scope is written.

How long does a commercial repaint take?

A schedule comes after the walk-through, not before it. The schedule depends on the size and condition of the surfaces, the repairs found once washing is done, the weather, the access method, any board or color approval, and the hours the building allows us to work. Once those are known, you get a sequence with the dependencies named.
