Avoiding Common Problems with Commercial Painting Projects

Posted on May 10, 2023

When hiring a professional painting company to give your Northwest Florida commercial property a fresh look, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. You can avoid some potential problems to ensure a smooth project by hiring the right company for your project.

Common problems to avoid on commercial painting projects:

  1. Get a solid estimate/quote: Though once a project takes off, there is always some potential for small changes here and there, getting a ballpark figure is essential. A professional who is experienced and knowledgeable of the current Northwest Florida market will be able to get close to an accurate figure on a total cost estimate when calculating supplies, paint, labor costs, etc.
  2. Don’t settle for either poor-quality paints or the wrong type of paint. An experienced, professional company won’t skimp; they will use high-quality paint best suited for your buildings’ exterior surface. Different paint types are best suited to adhere and weather the elements better than others, for example, vinyl, aluminum, or brick.
  3. Don’t allow the skipping of repairs and restoration. Be sure the painting crew is trained and equipped to inspect cracks and other damage before painting. A company that paints over these is not credible. Check ratings and reviews before hiring a painting company.
  4. Hire professionals who communicate, are on time and consider your customers. Communicate your expectations for the project’s completion. Insist on a timeline. Discuss noise control, blocking off exits and entrances, and moving office items back to where they belong. Ensure the painting crew does an impeccable clean-up.
