Commercial painters near you

Ways to keep business running like normal

Your business does not have to be disrupted by commercial painting services. Normal hours and services can continue as usual when you plan accordingly.

• Prepare. Schedule any commercial painting services during your business' "downtime," whether that means on the weekend, mornings, or during a certain season.
• Save time. Clean gutters, clear away debris and complete any repairs that could slow painters down.
• Alert your workers and neighbors in advance.
• Speak to the painters about their plans. For commercial exterior painting jobs, it is possible they could paint the back of the building, where there will be no customers, during business hours and the front of the store after the business had finished for the day.
  
  

If you are unable to prevent all disruptions, there are still other methods you can use to ensure your business is not negatively affected. For instance, schedule other repairs or services during this period, or offer customers a discount for current or future services as a way to entice them to excuse the mess.

 

Reasons to hire an insured commercial painter

A common misconception is that uninsured commercial painters are cheaper than using insured commercial painting companies. However, many will suffer the costs that come with choosing uninsured commercial painting services. Here are some of the protections an insured commercial painting company provides:

• Liability: The company will be held responsible for any damages that occur. Accidents involving neighboring businesses, customers, or workers will not fall on you.
• Standards: Insurance is a sign of other good qualities of a professional commercial painting company. If the company cares about your protection, they will most likely also be up to date on government standards and regulations.
• Damages: Spilled paint can ruin your business's flooring. Repairs for such damages will be covered.
• Warranty: If, for some reason, the paint job is not satisfactory, many insured companies offer a warranty that protects you after the job is completed.
  
  

If there is a certain insurance policy you require, speak with the company before signing a contract to be certain they are willing to provide it.

 

How to select an exterior color

Selecting an exterior color for your business or office is often more time-consuming than many would think. Commercial painting companies offer a wide variety of options for exterior paint. Consider these methods to narrow down your color range and make a choice.

• Check your lease agreement or contact your landlord to determine any regulations on paint color.
• Observe other nearby businesses. Consider if you want your business to stand out or blend in with the other buildings on the block.
• Match with the already established roof or trim if you are not painting those as well.
• Consult the painter. As someone who provides commercial painting services, the painter should know what colors are popular or long-lasting.
• Test a color or two. Paint swatches on a hidden spot. Observe how their appearance changes as the light shifts throughout the day.
• If you are unable to decide on your own, ask your employees for their opinion.
• Consider what your customer will be drawn to. If your business seeks customers or clients who are bold, you can use a bold color to attract their eye to your business.
