It’s important that the commercial painting contractor you hire is experienced and knowledgeable about jobs of various sizes. You don’t want to hire someone who doesn’t have the experience in the type of work you are asking them to do, and you don’t want to waste your money on a contractor who hasn’t done the kind of work you need to be done. Here are five things to look for in a paint contractor:
Before you start to look for a painting contractor, it is crucial to determine the project’s scope, which you are about to undertake. Take some time to determine which parts of the building you would like to paint, whether it is just the interior walls, ceilings, floors or the exterior. This information is helpful for both yourself and your contractor as they will be able to give you a more accurate quote based on this specific scope of the project. There are also a few other things that should be considered internally before starting your research.
Determine the Right Time to Paint
Painting is usually a disruptive job, as it requires your entire staff to be out of the area for the duration of the job. Take some time to determine a period when business is slower, so that your paint job can take place with minimal disruptions. This period is different for every business, so take some time to determine what works best for your company.
Adhere to High Safety Standards
The health and safety of your staff and customers are of utmost priority. When selecting the type of paint you would like to use, pick one that causes minimal health risks to people present in the space. It may be a wise idea to give preference to paints that are odourless and rated zero VOC to avoid problems for people who enter the space during or immediately after the project is completed.
Pick the Right Colour
Picking a good colour can help make the space look more spacious, grand and inviting for potential customers. If it is important to stick to a specific colour scheme based on the area or the company colours, have the colour swatch prepared and ready for your contractor. Remember, you will see this wall colour often at work to make sure you spend some time picking the colour that is right for your space!
Once you have selected the best painting contractor for the job, it is essential to get the job details in writing. This will ensure that expectations are clear for both parties, and the accountability will ensure that you get a quality job from your contractor. A written contract will also protect you against future liabilities and provide protection in case anything should go awry. There have been all too many horror stories of disappearing contractors, but a written contract can provide peace of mind for you.
