Commercial Painting

Renovate Your Local Milwaukee Commercial Space Over the Holidays

Posted on November 13, 2024

Hiring a painter for your commercial space can seem daunting. While you realize commercial painting can really update a tired space, you may be worried about it disrupting your normal business hours. Our commercial painting crew of Milwaukee offers options to avoid disruption of your normal business operations. We’re willing to put in the time during off hours and over the holidays when your business is already closed!

In addition to our flexibility with scheduling, our crew of experienced painters at CertaPro Painters® of Milwaukee have put together some guidelines to help you navigate your commercial painting project over the holidays. 

Look for Painters Who Have Experience

It’s important to hire a seasoned pro for your commercial painting project. College kids or all around handyman offers might have the braun, but do they have the experience to complete the job. Since you’re representing your commercial property, you’ll need someone who has worked in commercial properties.

Commercial spaces also have different requirements than a residential painting job. Surfaces and materials mean an alternate skillset is in order. A professional commercial painter will be able to provide beautiful, long-lasting results. 

Determine Their Reputation

Experience and reputation are not one in the same. A company can have a long standing history of work but what do their past clients have to say? There are several ways to gauge the reputation of a painter. Start with online review sites. In addition to their own sites, try sites like Home Advisor, Thumbtack, or Google My Business for a wide range of reviews, both positive and negative. This will help you get a good metric on the work they provider does. 

Communication Should be a Priority 

Communication on any project of this magnitude is imperative. When you contact the company, you should receive a quick response. Businesses are not expected to maintain lines 24/7 but you should hear back in a timely manner. 

When talking back and forth with the company, you should feel as though the responses are professional and informed. Are the representatives treating you with respect and professionalism? A reputable company will be happy to spend time discussing your project.

Get a Few Estimates

An estimate can be a key indicator for the type of service you can expect. You should avoid any estimates that are scribbled on the back of a business card or done over the phone. An estimate usually involves a visit from a team member to discuss your project needs, review the condition of the property and go over expectations. You will have an opportunity to be involved in the process from this point forward. Normally, if a written estimate is not given to you at the appointment, it is sent over shortly after.

Review and Judge the Price

Cost will always be a factor in choosing a commercial painter. Be wary of extremely low offers. To get these low costs, providers could be using unlicensed contractors, subpar supplies or questionable practices. Low offers tend to result in less than quality outcomes and no guarantees.  Experience, quality and licensure all cost and will result in higher estimates. You will get what you pay for. This doesn’t mean that you should choose the highest bid either. Costs do not mean the company has the required licenses.
