Why Quality Commercial Painting Services Matter
Commercial painters tackle everything from interior graphics to safety-regulated surface coloring. They add a literal splash of color to your business’s interior that few other services under the facility maintenance umbrella can. While commercial cleaning services add that much-needed sparkle to your interior and exterior, and janitorial services keep everything used day-to-day clean, painting services create the bright framework for them to operate on.
If you’re in the market for such services, you might be tempted to hire the first painter that appears on your internet search, barring any other type of research or thought. Your time is strained these days, and you have much on your plate as a business owner.
Research takes a lot of effort – an effort you might feel is better spent on the monthly budget or one-on-one with clientele.
Hiring a Quality Commerical Painter Matters
It’s important to do your research because who you hire as a commercial painter matters for many reasons!
Their Work is Relatively Permanent
That’s the point of commercial painting – it adds to your business’s appearance instead of simply maintaining it. These services create a lasting indent on your business’s interior or exterior, one that’s difficult and costly to get rid of. Pick a quality commercial painter, or risk an eyesore becoming part of your business’s image until it’s repainted.
They Help Ensure Worker Safety
If you’re hiring for more industrial-related concerns, your commercial painters do more than make your environment look nice – they ensure the safety of your workers.
Bright colors applied strategically help your workers to stay alert and pay extra attention where necessary, preventing heartbreaking accidents and, in some cases, saving your business from a negligence-related lawsuit. Make sure the commercial painter you hire is of quality, or you’ll potentially pay the price.
They Help Inspire Pride
Commercial painters' work helps your employees take pride in your business. Each day, when your team enters your building, they must be filled with determination and company pride in order to tackle the day ahead. Dreary workers are not productive ones, after all!
A splatter-filled, off-model wall graphic is no way to inspire your employees, but a vivid, clean-lined one is. What kind of finished facility do you want? Hire a commercial painter who can get you there.
As you can see, commercial painters do more than take a paintbrush to canvas; their lasting work can be integral to your business’s ongoing success. To maximize the positive impact of that success, it’s important to choose an experienced painting company.
Don’t worry, it won’t require hours of research – you’ve already found the perfect fit with The Firm Facility Services!
Ways to Tell You Found a Great Commercial Painter
Even if you choose to work with The Firm, it’s important to know how to tell that you have hired a great commercial painter. Here are a few ways to tell.
They Ask the Right Questions
It is important for commercial painters to ask questions in order to understand the job scope fully. That way, nothing is missed during the process, and the final product is something you can be proud of. Asking questions demonstrates experience and gives you peace of mind that the painter will do their best work.
They Have Certifications
It’s helpful to ask your commercial painter if they have any certifications. These certifications can show that a painter strives to improve their skills and wants to perform the best job possible. If you aren’t sure what certain certifications mean, just ask! The painter would be happy to explain.
They Provide References
As a customer, you should always ask if a painter has customer references, which can help you get an idea of the kind of work the painter can do.
They’re Licensed & Insured
Another thing you can do as the customer is ask a painter for their licenses and insurance information. Any painter worth their salt has insurance to cover on-the-job accidents. This is important because you do not want to be liable if a painter gets hurt on your property.
What to Look for in Commercial Painting Services
What specific services might be covered under the term “commercial painting?” Again, all maintenance services firms are individuals, but a few common things you might expect from a commercial painting company are:
They Can Work While Customers Are Around
Depending on the extent of the commercial project, many commercial painters must do their jobs while customers and employees are still in the building. If the task is too big or logistics become a problem, the business might need to close down to give the commercial painter time to work safely.
They Can Paint Graphics
Commercial painting businesses like The Firm know the importance of a professional, cohesive appearance. For this reason, some industry professionals also specialize in painting graphics, both inside and outside businesses.
The primary goal of commercial painting is to enhance the appearance of any given firm, and painting logos or other brand-affirming images is a great way to achieve that goal.
They Work With Commercial Businesses
Generally speaking, commercial painters tend to work with businesses that deal with commerce, selling the items that industrial businesses produce. A notable example of a commercial business is retail stores.
Since the primary goal of commercial painters is to create a pleasing brand image for customers, they often work in businesses wherein first-hand interaction with said customers occurs.
What About Industrial Painting Services?
In contrast to commercial painting, firms that offer industrial painting are often tasked with painting industrial firms and equipment. Therefore, the durability and longevity of the job weigh a little heavier on the industrial painter’s mind than how brand-affirming the final product is.
This doesn’t mean that industrial painters have little concern for aesthetics; It just means that since the safety of the business’s employees hinges on the quality of the painter’s work, that that painter concerns themselves primarily with functionality.
The lines that separate industrial painting services and commercial painting services are blurry. As stated above, don’t hesitate to ask your potential hire questions! However, many industrial painters:
Paint for Safety
OSHA regulations say that all workers legally require a safe place to do their jobs. Brightly painting metal catwalks, rigging, high-rise equipment, and storage tanks can warn workers to watch their step. Industrial painters often handle these safety-related jobs.
Paint With Extremes in Mind
While commercial environments are relatively sheltered to ensure customers' comfort, industrial environments can be subject to anything from temperature extremes to repeated mechanical abuse.
The industrial painter must consider the environment a little more than the commercial painter and adjust the type of paint and color used accordingly.
Paint in Industrial Settings
Industrial businesses tend to deal with production and manufacturing and find themselves needing painters that can help create a safe, efficient work environment – hence the need for industrial painters. An example of an industrial setting is a factory.
