Tips For Choosing Paint And Painting Your Commercial Building

Your office building should look clean and fresh so your employees are happy with their workplace and so you can make a good impression on your clients. Keeping your building clean often means you need to paint the walls every few years. Here are some commercial painting tips for choosing paint and having it applied.

Choose High-Quality Paint

You may want to watch your budget when painting your building, but it may not be a good idea to buy cheap paint. High-quality paint takes fewer coats, covers better, and lasts longer than cheaper paint. 

You may not want to change colors since commercial buildings tend to go with white or neutral colors, but you still have a choice when it comes to the paint's sheen. If you had a hard time keeping the walls clean before, you might want a paint with a glossier sheen so the walls are easy to wipe down.

Make A Plan For Painting Day

Commercial painting is more difficult if your offices are open seven days a week. It's best for the painters to work when the offices are empty. Your commercial painter may work on weekends and after business hours so they don't disrupt your employees. However, if your employees work 24 hours a day and seven days a week, you may need to move your workers around to free up part of the building.

Before work begins, the painting contractor will help you devise a plan for painting your building with the least amount of disruption. That could involve moving your workers from room to room until all the painting is finished.

Prep The Walls And Paint

The first step in commercial painting, whether it's done inside or outside, is to prep the walls. This might mean filling in holes, scraping off old paint, repairing drywall, or removing stains. The walls should be clean and smooth before paint is applied so the paint adheres well. The contractor will decide whether to use primer to cover the old paint or use paint that has primer added.

The contractor may use a paint sprayer to paint the exterior of your building, but the inside will probably be painted with brushes and rollers. The contractor will probably send a large enough crew that the work can get done quickly. In addition to cleaning the walls and painting, the contractor may also move desks and other furniture to the center of the room. However, if computer equipment, printers, and copy machines need to be moved, you may want to move those yourself to make sure they stay safe.
