Paint and Your Commercial Building: When is it time to paint?

Knowing when it’s time to paint your commercial building is valuable to help you be more proactive in preserving your assets and managing the aesthetics of your space. Our team would like to share some tips you can use to help you recognize when it’s time to paint your property.

Consider how long it’s been since you painted

Considering how long it’s been since you painted your commercial building is a good place to start when determining if it’s time to paint. If you’re not sure when the last paint project was, you might go back to your company records to see when that type of project was budgeted for and executed last. Typically, if you identify that it’s been more than 7-10 years since your last painting project, it may be time to invest in the physical well-being and visual aesthetic of your property again.

Examine for potential damages

Examining for potential damages outside or inside your building is also a helpful step you can take to recognize whether your building needs to be painted or if areas of repair are needed. Some examples of things you can look for include:

Blistering Paint

Mildew

Chalking 

Efflorescence

Peeling

Check to see how the color looks

Sometimes colors can fade over time depending on the amount of direct sunlight your building gets regularly, which is why it’s important to check to see how the painted colors look on your building periodically. In Indiana, specifically, your building may experience these effects more in the spring, summer, and early fall months. With richer, non-faded colors on your commercial property, you can also ensure that your brand is being better represented to your customers.

Think about your brand

Thinking about your brand in relation to your building can also offer a unique opportunity for your business to expand how you share your brand promise and story. By aligning the visual representation of your building with your brand, your business can gain the ability to provide others with something that is recognizable and unique to your messages. It’s also important to consider any rebrands that have happened since your last commercial painting project because there may have been adjustments to your core messaging, style, and color palette.
