In St. Joseph, MI, warehouse painting comes with its own set of challenges due to the region’s cold winters, lake-effect snow, and fluctuating temperatures. The freezing temperatures and moisture from the nearby Lake Michigan can cause exterior paint to crack, peel, and wear down faster, making regular maintenance important.

Rust and corrosion on metal surfaces are also common concerns in the area. Inside, warehouses need tough, durable coatings to withstand the daily wear and tear from equipment, as well as temperature changes throughout the year. CertaPro Painters® of St. Joseph provides expert solutions tailored to these local climate conditions, ensuring warehouses stay protected and look their best year-round. Here are signs it is time for your warehouse to get a paint update:

1. Colors are Off

Even without complete failure, paint will tell you it’s time. The colors fading are a slower sign that it’s time to consider a paint job. The pigments naturally lose color over time, and this can be further leached by UV rays, chemicals and usage. 

2. Visible Deterioration

Paint on floors and walls will show you it’s time to repaint. Look for signs of failure like cracking, peeling, bubbling or missing paint. Any of these imperfections are a sign the paint is failing and no longer protecting the substrate below. Once these show up, moisture is being permitted to get into the walls and cause bigger, more expensive problems.  

3. Problems with the Floors

The majority of warehouses use floor coatings to create safe and slip resistant surfaces. They are usually used in conjunction with line striping to: 

• Improve aesthetics.
• Protect substrates from chemical, mechanical and environmental problems.
• Promote a safe work environment with floor markings.
• Organize and label areas of the warehouse permanently.

Wear and tear on floors is going to occur. If there is efflorescence, cracking and concrete spalling, it’s time to begin a new coating process.
