As trusted contractors, we would like to give you several helpful tips to significantly improve the results when painting commercial buildings.
Attention to detail is a must when it comes to large surfaces, specific aspects of paint application, and brand colors. Here are several tips on how to ensure your exterior painting project is successful and eye-catching.
1. Make sure the exterior of the commercial building is clean
Just like preparing for commercial interior painting, pressure washing the exterior of commercial buildings can help reduce overall painting and professional maintenance expenses.
Painting over any dirty, chalky or dusty surfaces should be avoided. Not only does this make the exterior look uneven and rough, but the new coat of paint will not adhere as well. A great and true professional will clean the surfaces before and after painting.
2. Consider the weather
Weather conditions, such as wind, rain and snow, influence commercial exterior painting. However, it should be noted that it is not just harsh and unpredictable weather conditions that can affect the success of renovations.
Some types of paint behave differently at different temperatures. For example, oil-based paint adheres best to walls between 40° and 90°F, while latex paint works best between 50° and 85°F. It is important to choose the right time for your project.
3. Meet high safety standards
Exterior painting of commercial buildings requires compliance with safety regulations.
The painters and contractors involved must use safety equipment and be insured, and the safety of tenants, employees, and customers must be taken into account. Always choose a nontoxic and odorless paint that poses little or no health risk to everyone involved.
4. Make sure the contractor has all the necessary equipment
Unlike residential painters, commercial painting contractors typically have the necessary equipment ready at all times. Always check that contractors are licensed and insured, as this can significantly impact the safety and quality of the services they provide.
5. Make Sure All Exterior Branding Is Sharp
Make sure all your brand colors are spot on and all your advertising materials, such as banners, logos, and more, are also professionally addressed and painted.
Consistency in branding is essential for both your customers and your employees.
