Go with the Professionals for Your Commercial Needs in Northwest Florida: Exterior Painting Challenges
Posted on March 31, 2023
What does your storefront say about your business? Does it shout out, “Business is thriving!”? A well-kept, properly maintained exterior keeps your building’s curb appeal fresh and inviting. It makes a statement that you are growing and doing well. However, if it has been years since you have done any upkeep, and the building has cracked, peeling paint, dingy and stained walls, this sends a message that business has seen better days and “We’re barely hanging in there.” If it’s time to update your business’s exterior, there are some challenges to be aware of, and professional painting services like CertaPro Painters® of Northwest Florida know best how to tackle them.
Exterior Painting Problems:
- Fading- Especially when exposed to many UV rays, over time, fading is typical. Choosing fade-resistant paint of a higher grade will fade less over time.
- Mold and mildew- Mold growth is a common challenge because it tends to grow in shady and damp areas. It can stain the surface beneath the paint, so removal is necessary.
- Stains- Discolorations are not only displeasing aesthetically but can continue causing problems if simply painted over. The stained area must be removed with specific cleansers and sealed before painting.
- Cracked and peeling paint- The professionals at CertaPro Painters have expertise in removing these areas, properly smoothing, and preparing the surface to prepare it for proper adhesion of your new paint.
- Chalking- This challenge is what looks like a chalky, powdery substance sitting on top of the exterior paint. The binders may have broken down so that pigment is being released, and this is possibly due to inexpensive paint or the wrong type (interior paint used on the exterior, etc.).
