Schnoll Painting

What Schnoll Painting does

Schnoll Painting Corp. is a fourth-generation, family-owned commercial, industrial, and institutional painting contractor headquartered at 3151 Weikel Street, Philadelphia, PA, founded in 1954 and operating for over 70 years across the Delaware Valley region. The company provides a unified suite of painting and coating services — including commercial painting and decorating, interior and exterior painting, industrial coatings, wallcovering, faux finishing, specialty coatings, intumescent fire-retardant coatings, LEED-compliant coatings, and surface preparation via power washing and sandblasting — combined with flexible evening and weekend crew scheduling to minimize disruption to client operations. Differentiating technical credentials include NACE Level 1 Coating and Lining certification, LEED coatings applicator status, 30-hour OSHA certified journeymen, and full insurance and bondability.

The business operates on a project-based, quote-driven revenue model, with custom estimates generated per project and contracts awarded through direct enterprise sales to property owners, facility managers, general contractors, and project managers. Its customer base spans more than ten verticals — healthcare systems (Fox Chase Cancer Center, AI Dupont Hospital, multiple university hospitals), banking (TD Bank, Wells Fargo, Key Bank, Citizens Bank), retail (Home Depot, Target, Walmart, IKEA, Lowe's, Best Buy), hospitality (Four Seasons, Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, Sheraton, DoubleTree), sports venues (Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, Xfinity Mobile Arena), gaming (Parx, Rivers, Harrah's), education (Drexel, Temple, Wharton), and corporate headquarters (Comcast One/Two, AstraZeneca). The company is a participating MBE/WBE contractor and leverages a strategic partnership program with other certified MBE/WBE firms to compete on diversity-mandated public and private projects. The company has earned ten consecutive GBCA Awards for Excellence and is led by President and sole owner Michael Thurman, supported by a CFO with CPA credentials and a VP of Estimating and Project Management with formal structural coatings training. There is no disclosed revenue, no external funding, and no parent company.
