Most commercial buildings have their stucco repainted every 5-10 years. This depends on a variety of things, such what type of paint was used last, or if the exterior is completely exposed to the elements.

Here are the top reasons why you should repaint your stucco exterior.

Moisture

Moisture is the biggest problem with stucco. This is why you generally see stucco exteriors in dry climates. Stucco can be used anywhere, but climates that have more moisture will require more maintenance.

Anyone that lives in a more humid climate need to stay on top of minor repairs and invest in repainting their stucco. Moisture can build up in the wood under the stucco, which is why this is necessary.

Staining and discoloration

When moisture sits on or in the stucco for a long period of time, stains can occur. Stains on stucco will look like a hazy white substance, or a dark spot. You may think that these are just aesthetic problems, it’s actually more important as you may need to repair larger areas of stucco or the wood underneath if left too long. These stains can show up anywhere, but they are more common around doors and windows, as water can pool in these areas.

Hairline Cracks

Hairline cracks are often times not really visible unless you’re right on top of them, but they do require immediate attention. If you’ve had stucco for a long period of time, there may be structural issues beneath the surface, and those will need to be taken care of before they can be painted.

White streaks

Painting over damaged stucco is a very bad idea, as you are really just hiding the problems that will eventually get worse. If you paint over white streaks (sign that you have moisture problems) on your stucco, it may look nice and new for a while, but that white streak is actually a sign of moisture damage, which needs to be fixed before you paint.

Surfaces were not prepared properly

It could be lack of experience or simply skipping steps, but some painting companies don’t prepare the surfaces for paint properly. There are many different steps painters can take to prepare interior or exterior surfaces. Please see the following:

Preparation for interior painting

After any wall hangings and fixtures are remove, professional commercial painters in Kelowna will thoroughly clean the surfaces to make sure dirt, grime, etc is removed. Anything that is not cleaned will cause the paint to not adhere to the surface properly, leading to bubbling, cracking, and chipping.

Preparation for exterior painting

The exterior of commercial buildings are made from many different materials such as wood, brick, stucco, etc. so the process for preparing these surfaces will change depending on the material used. That being said, the one thing they all have in common is that they need to be cleared of any debris before they can be painted. The best way to do this is to use a pressure washer, and they also need to be properly dried before painting.

Painters don’t use the right paint types in the right areas

Some painting companies use bad paint in order to save money, or so they can charge less than their competitors. But if the company you hired uses bad paint you will end up paying more in the end. Sometimes the paint is thinned down so that it will last longer, and while thinning paint has its purposes, bad painting companies will only do it to save money and don’t care about the quality of their work.

Painting in bad weather conditions

Professional painting companies follow certain guidelines and know when the can and cannot paint. Most oil-based paint is meant to be used at temperatures between 5 and 30 degrees, where latex paint is best used at 10 to 20 degrees. When these temperature rules aren’t following the result is poorly cured paint, meaning it will not adhere properly. Professional painters also know that paint should not be applied in air that is too humid or too dry.

Lack of high-quality finishes and amateur painter

High quality paint finishes are the result of a number of variables. Untrained or amateur painters normally don’t recognize these variables, or just choose to ignore them, which leads to an unsatisfactory result. From cleaning the surfaces properly before painting, to drying times between coats, or using the right finish, Unskilled painters don’t follow these variables and results will speak for themselves.

To avoid these mistakes, make sure to hire a Kelowna painting company with a good track record. Speak with someone that has many years of experience, many examples of their work, and good testimonials from past clients.

Size and Lighting

The first thing you need to look at is the size of your hallways. If you have narrower hallways you need to be very careful when choosing paint colors. To help open up the hallways, choose lighter colors as this makes them appear larger.

The lighting in the hallways will also be a factor. If the hallways do not have much natural light, you’ll want to make sure you choose colors that reflect light. You may want to consider eggshell white, light grey, or beige. You can also look into incorporating colors like blue or green to help brighten up the space.

Building Atmosphere

When painting the hallways you’ll want to consider what kind of atmosphere you’re trying to create in the building. If the building is more professional and clean, you’ll want to stick with cooler colors. These colors also tend to have a calming effect on people, making the building more inviting to people coming and going. But if you’re wanting the building to feel more inviting and more like home, you’ll want to choose warmer colors.

Maintenance

The last thing you’ll need to consider is the finish of the paint. The finish of the paint will determine how the hallways looks, but also how easy it will be to maintain and clean in the future. For commercial paint jobs in Kelowna, most painters will choose satin or semi-gloss finishes. Satin will work for most commercial buildings. It is durable and can withstand lots of wear and tear, but given how busy these hallways can get, you’ll most likely want to go with semi-gloss as it will make sure your hallways look great for many years.

Maintain Your Warehouse

Paint is your warehouse’s first defense from the elements that could damage its surface. Paint will help protect your warehouse from the suns rays, wind, and other types of weathering. As your paint peels it will lose the protective coating that is important for the health of your warehouse’s exterior. If you don’t act quickly and protect the exterior of your warehouse, you put it at risk of developing rust and mold, which will be much more expensive to repair than painting.

Prevent Rust

If the exterior of your warehouse is metal than you get the added benefit of durability and easy maintenance, but you’re also risking the possibility of rust. You can prevent rust from occurring by painting the metal, which will seal off the metal from any moisture that can develop.

Maintain Integrity of Exterior Material

If the exterior or your warehouse consists of block or concrete, it can be damaged over time by the sun, moisture, and other weather conditions. The benefits of using paint on concrete are: improving water and ice resistance, hot and cold temperature resistance, mold and mildew, and others.

Make a Good First Impression

First impressions are important for all businesses. Some put resources into making a good first impression at the front of the office, but end up neglecting the appearance of the warehouse itself. But having a nice looking interior is good for creating a first impression that will drive people inside.

With a nicely painted warehouse exterior, you are showing the public you care about your business and their impression, which will make them want to work with you or buy your products.

Color choices for educational facilities

Studying color psychology is really helpful when determining which colors are best for learning. For example, colors like red are known for producing more aggressive emotions and anxiety, so colors like red are mostly avoided in schools. Colors like blue, green, and yellow help promote a calming setting, while at the same time giving good energy and creativity to the students.

White is the most common color in schools and that is fine as well, as it keeps the school looking fresh and clean, and a bright surrounding helps promote positive feelings in students. Brown and tan colors also help make the students feel calm and stable.

Whatever color you choose, balance is very important. It’s best to choose a more neutral color for the main walls, and something bolder for accent walls.

Other things to consider

Scheduling a paint job for school and university can be tough. The best time to paint a school is usually in the summer, as the buildings are not used as often.

Because schools tend to be very high traffic, it is recommended you use premium paints that have a washable finish. This type of paint provides maximum durability against, bumps, scrapes, scuffs, and overall abuse from students and faculty members.

Gym floors present a few challenges in different ways. Adding logos and lines to the gym floor is a very precise process, and refinishing your gym floor is very labor intensive. Make sure you hire professionals who have experience with this type of job.

Year round maintenance

As mentioned above, schools are very high traffic facilities and the paint on the walls will always require maintenance. If you are looking to have a commercial painting company in Kelowna on retainer that is always available to touch up your facility, talk to us today about a maintenance package.

Here are some things to take into account when hiring commercial painting companies in Kelowna to paint your hotel, motel, or restaurant.

Planning to avoid business disruptions

Many wonder if they need to close down their business when having it repainted. However, with proper planning and communication with your painting company, you should be able to complete the paint job while staying open.

If it’s a restaurant, it’s not unreasonable to ask that the painting be done outside of your business hours. If for some reason that can’t be done, you can always adjust your business hours for the few days it will take to paint.

For motels and hotels, you can make it very easy and just paint certain sections of the building at a time. This way you’re still able to have guests stay at your establishment while painting the building. It’s always a good idea to block off areas that are being painted so that they are safe from the fumes, and also won’t accidentally touch wet paint.

Take precautions and follow the rules

The food and hospitality industries see a heavy amount of foot traffic from customers, so make sure the painters take extra precautions to ensure all aspects of the paint job are being done safely and professionally.

Most importantly, make sure they know how to paint certain areas like kitchens or hotel guest rooms that have heavy traffic. Also make sure that the painting company covers all furniture, appliances, etc.

Safety Measures

Safety is the most important aspect of a commercial paint job, so make sure that the painting company you hire follows all of the guidelines set by the CPCA (Canadian Coatings Regulations). This includes making sure all food is removed from the kitchen, and making sure they are using low or no VOC paints. Those types of paint reduce the smell of a new paint job where you don’t want people to smell it, like dining rooms and motel/hotel rooms.

In this article we’re going to cover the importance of painting your industrial silos and tanks.

Durability

It’s very important to protect your industrial structures, and silos and tanks can take a lot of punishment from weather, ultraviolet radiation, temperature fluctuations, damaging chemicals, and much more.

Painting your silos and tanks give an extra layer of protection from the above damaging elements. Here at Pro Service Painting, we use special coatings that provide even more protection to your equipment.

Work site safety

Large structures and equipment that have begun to deteriorate from the elements mentioned above can be very unsafe to your anyone working near them. Some industrial paints even include harmful chemicals that can be dangerous to the health of your employees, but thankfully we only use completely safe painting products.

With safely maintained and painted equipment and structures, you are benefiting your employees by providing them a safe work place which will improve productivity.

Appearance and Branding

Industrial work sites aren’t meant to look pretty, and that’s ok as they’re meant to be purely functional. But if the equipment on your work site is in bad shape, this can have a negative impact on how people see your business. If your silos and tanks look like they’re deteriorating and have cracks and paint chips, your companies reputation can take a hit.

If you have a clean and professional looking work site, people will have a good impression of your company. It will increase your brand reputation as it shows you care about the quality of your equipment.

Giving your tanks and silos a new paint also gives you the opportunity to show off your brand, as you can have the painting company include a large version of your logo that can be seen from a great distance.
