When looking for a painting contractor there are lots of considerations to make to ensure you find the right one for you. In this article we're going to look at the top 5 ways to find the right painting contractor to ensure your commercial building or office space project goes according to plan.
Forward Planning
The most common mistake we see companies make with their painting projects is not planning ahead, to ensure they find a good contractor. Don't leave your project to 3 weeks before to start looking for quotes. Any good painting company will be booked up for 3 to 6 months in advance. There's a reason they are booked up for such a long time and the same reason why people are willing to wait. They know the wait will be worth it. Plan ahead to avoid disappointment.
Advice
Discuss the various options to see if there is an easier and cheaper way to complete the project. Maybe the contractor would prefer to finish the walls before the skirting boards are added. Maybe large areas can be sprayed to save money and reduce time. Discuss paint options and maybe look at more durable paints. Ask for feedback and information from the company, they are the experts and should be able to assist you through some of the decisions.
Reduced impact
If you're looking to refresh your existing company space, the problem we come up against is keeping the company operational, while allowing for the areas to be painted. Sometimes customers prefer to move staff and paint rooms one by one. Other times it is possible to have the work completed out of hours or during holiday. This greatly reduces impact but, can increase cost a little. A good option if you're looking to minimise the impact to the business.
Professionalism
Unfortunately not all painting contractors are equal. Get quotes, look at their work, check their reviews and go with your gut instinct. you're looking for a detailed orientated company who offer a high quality finish. If you receive a vague quote which takes a week to get sent to you, the chances are they might not be the right company.
Don't use the builder
If you're on a new project and leaving everything with the builder, the chances are the decorating won't get mentioned until the week before it's going to be started. By this time it's too late to find someone and you're stuck with a builder doing an average job. Take control and like we said in the first point, get quotes and plan ahead of time. This way you'll get a perfect finish and make the best of all the hard work and money that has been spent on the project.
There’s a lot to consider when it comes to commercial painting. Taking the time to find the right painting contractor can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth, stress-free process. Your business’s appearance is a reflection of the quality and professionalism you provide. Make sure it speaks volumes by partnering with a contractor who delivers exceptional results!
