6 Reasons It’s Time to Repaint Your Commercial Building

Painting a commercial building can seem like a big task but it’s necessary part of owning a business. CertaPro of Far North Texas has years of experience painting commercial buildings of all sizes. In this post, we are going to go over all the reasons it might be time to repaint your commercial building.

1. Modernize Your Business: Probably one of the most common reasons business owners decide to repaint is to indicate that their business is changing. Modernizing the exterior or interior of the commercial space shows the public and employees that the business is staying with the times. It also indicates that the business is changing to keep up with modern aesthetics and other competitors. It’s important for commercial buildings to reflect the feel of the community that surrounds it. Repainting is one way to show the community that your business is modernizing and here to stay.

2. Protect Your Building: Depending on the area and building exposure to the elements, repainting a commercial space might be necessary as a method of protection. If paint is peeling, chipping or showing other signs of wear and tear – it is probably time to repaint. Business owners want to ensure that their commercial investment is protected and when paint comes off it leaves the walls and interior exposed to weather, pests and other outdoor contaminants. It’s also a great idea to update paint as new types come out that can protect against UV rays, sun exposure, high wind or rain and seal against molds.

3. Maintain Property: Repainting is also very important to maintain the property as an investment. Commercial buildings can be expensive real estate and to keep up with the ever-changing market it’s necessary to maintain their value. Repainting at regular intervals will not only protect the space but it will also protect your investment. Repainting the building keeps up the maintenance needed for when you are ready to sell and want to get top dollar for your property.

4. Rebrand: Similar to modernizing, maybe you are completely rebranding or renaming your company. You want to make sure that your building reflects the change especially to the public. Buildings that change color or change their appearance to look more unique usually get more foot traffic. They also are more memorable to the consumer and other businesses. Painting the building can make rebranding an easier and efficient way to indicate to the community about your exciting change.

5. Paint Damage Repair: On average exterior paint for commercial buildings only lasts 5-7 years so it can be easy to see some paint damage after time has passed. You might see chips, blistering, bubbles and flakes start to show even with the most resistant paints. Once you start seeing these signs, it’s unsightly and reflects negative on your business. Also, some areas or communities, have rules and regulations that require repainting after a period of time.

6. Improve Employee Experience: This is especially important for interior commercial painting. Studies have shown that employees that feel at home in their workplace are more likely to stay long term. A simple way to improve coworker moral is to invest in their workspace and make it feel more welcoming. By utilizing paint colors, you can create an ambiance in the space that helps people feel more at home. You can do this by adding dimension to the space like with an accent wall or vibrant accent color. This compliments your brands helps both employees and visitors immerse themselves into your business.

Whether you decide to pick new colors or stay with your traditional design, repainting your commercial space will provide your building with a professional and fresh look. By repainting you are investing in your property and your business. Showing that you care will be impress current clients and be inviting to new ones. You’ll also be maintaining and protecting your building from damage and repairs. In addition, the new paint will boost employee morale and display your brand to the community.
