5 Tips for Commercial Painting

Taking on a commercial painting project needs to be approached strategically to avoid down time and complications. Paint on the walls of your business set the tone for those clients visiting you. Updating the paint in your commercial space is a necessary albeit big investment into your company.

In addition to a good painting project, the right services (such as pressure washing, caulking and prep work) make your property look brand new. As you think about your commercial exterior painting project, follow these five tips to ensure a high return on investment.

1. Consider the scope

Scope creep is real when it comes to painting. While walking the project with the estimator, it’s easy to add on repairs and painting leaving you with an astronomical estimate cost. Talk about what really needs to be painted and what would be nice to be painted. Some companies offer discounts on larger projects or during slower times of the year. Consider your business cycle and select the periods when painting will cause minimum inconvenience to your commercial activities.

2. Choose the right color

Colors can make buildings look more attractive or appealing to customers. Even updating to a fresh coat of the same color creates a fresh and clean look on the building. For particular usage, certain colors are more appropriate for use. The same goes for exteriors. Some climates are more tough on vibrant colors. Using a color consultant can help you avoid costly issues with your paint.

3. Adhere to high standards of safety

Safety comes into play in work areas of your commercial property. This includes items like anti-slip flooring, safety paint on areas with vehicles and more. This minimizes health risks on your property and allows you to focus on your work.

4. Consider additional services

Painting companies, like CertaPro Painters, offer more than just painting the walls of your commercial property. Our crews can add on services like preparation, repairs, restoration and more. Inquire with your estimator if your project might need these services to ensure your painting turns out perfect.

5. Choose the right contractor

Picking a painting service provider should leave you at ease with the project. Experience crews will provide you with paperwork on insurance and certifications following local laws. This protects your property, your investment and anyone in the jobsite.
