Why Should You Consider Painting Your Commercial Property’s Exterior?

Is the exterior of your commercial property looking a little less than what you would call “professional”? Is your retail or office building peeling? Are the colors starting to look seriously dated?

Getting the exterior of your commercial property painted can be far more important than you think. It can help increase productivity, perception, revenue, and customer retention.

Not enough to convince you?

Let us help you understand!

If the exterior of your business is peeling, ugly, or in some other poor shape, you could directly be affecting your customer’s perception of your business. You have probably heard the saying that “Perception is Reality” and this is really quite true. People today may be better at not judging other people based on appearance, but businesses are judged on a whole different level. If someone has the slightest thought that your commercial property looks tacky and run down, then your business is also tacky and run down. With a fresh coat of paint, you can easily get your business looking top-notch again without spending big dollars.

Commercial exterior painting will also help protect the building from the elements such as water. When the paint is peeling and cracking, water seeps into the wood, concrete, or whatever substrate you have and causes premature decay. A simple paint job can save you tens of thousands of dollars of additional repairs to your building. Preventative maintenance is worth every penny.

While you could probably take a DIY approach to paint your commercial property, using a professional painting contractor has major benefits. For one, a real professional will be able to provide you with a labor warranty on top of the paint manufacturer’s warranty. They will know how to prep the building for the paint to ensure a long-lasting coating life as well as be able to complete the project in a fraction of the time with little disruption to your daily business. Plus, if your building is a high-rise, a professional commercial painting company will have the tools and equipment to complete the job safely.

There are a ton of benefits of painting the exterior of your commercial property. But if you want a reliable, high-quality painting that saves you more money in the long run, consider hiring a painting specialist near you.
