Commercial painting companies will all tell you that the best way to keep look of your business looking its best is a fresh coat of paint. Commercial painting is a little different than residential as it is happening at your workplace, and may make the regular day to day tasks a little more difficult. Here are some tips on how to make this process as easy as possible.
Create a project list
Creating a list of your paint project will help to keep things organized. Make sure to write down all the surfaces that need to be painted, the things you liked or disliked about the old paint job, as well as your budget and project cost.
Choosing the colors
Make sure you speak to your commercial painting experts to determine the best colors for your business. Do a walk through of your business with them to determine which walls are getting which colors, as well as the trim.
Prepare your employees
As mentioned above, your daily operations will change when the paint job is being done. Make sure all members of your staff are aware of the project, when the painters will be there, and what parts of the building they’ll be working in.
Make sure your employees know that they’ll need to move any personal items out of the way of the painters, and it may be wise to ask them to help move some office furniture around.
Repairs
If you notice some of the walls in your business have been damaged in any way, ask your painting company what repairs will need to be done before they start painting. Some commercial painting companies will take care of these repairs for you.
Perform a final walk-through
On the first day of painting it is always a good idea to do a final walk-through of your business space to ensure it is ready to be painted. Also make sure to inform the painting crew of any safety issues they should know about, and try and free up some parking spaces for them outside your business.
