Challenges of Commercial Painting
Commercial painting jobs come with a unique set of challenges. Companies that specialize only in residential painting often struggle to manage these challenges, no matter how much experience they have. That’s because the company simply doesn’t have the infrastructure necessary to conduct large-scale projects.
The scope of a commercial painting project far outstrips that of even the biggest residential jobs. A painting company must be able to put together a far larger team of employees — and manage them correctly to ensure the work proceeds at a proper pace. The company must also be experienced in scheduling varied work tasks, inorder to reduce unproductive downtime.
Commercial painting also requires a far more extensive set of tools than residential painting. In addition to ladders, many commercial jobs require the use of scaffolding and/or aerial work platforms. Power washers are essential for cleaning outdoor surfaces prior to painting, and high quality paint sprayers prove vital for tackling the increased surface area of many commercial walls.
Most residential painters are only familiar with painting a select number of building materials, with wood, siding, and stucco being the three most common. Commercial painters, by contrast, are routinely required to paint other materials, including steel, aluminum, and concrete. Ensuring attractive, lasting results when painting such materials requires knowledge and experience that residential painters seldom possess.
Finally, even the paints used in commercial projects differ from those of residential jobs. Instead of traditional paints, contractors often use industrial coatings, which contain additives that give the paint an extra degree of protection against weather, corrosion, and other causes of age-related damage. A commercial painting company must possess a wealth of knowledge about the various types of industrial coatings, as well as the different additives used.
Repainting a commercial structure is a large undertaking, and you must do everything possible to ensure that you get the best results for your money. Begin by vetting a number of different companies, carefully checking the credentials of each one. A reputable service provider like Gallo Paint & Wallpapering will be more than happy to provide a list of references for you to contact.
Also, be sure to ask the right questions when interviewing various companies. In particular, find out if the company performs all of the work themselves, or if they subcontract certain tasks out. Commercial painting projects often also require capital repairs, which many painting companies are not prepared to undertake themselves.
Gallo Paint & Wallpapering also operates as a licensed contractor, with their own team of expert craftsmen and carpenters on staff. As a result, we can complete many of the repairs involved in commercial painting projects ourselves, rather than farming them out to subcontractors.
In addition to being commercial painting experts, Gallo Paint & Wallpapering has the experience to undertake a range of other projects, including:
