Commercial Painting Projects and Tips for Summer

May 21, 2017

painting projectsBusiness owners in Oregon demand the best for their customers. We all know that making a great impression includes investing in the upkeep of your facilities. 

But commercial painting projects aren’t always a major overhaul. There are many ways to do a touch-up on your existing paint job and get great results. 

Too many business owners associate a painting project with a major disruption to their operations. They see dollar signs flying out the window and customers who are displeased with the upheaval large painting projects create.  

But there are a few touch-up jobs that look great, won’t take long, and can be completed for a reasonable price.

Let’s get your commercial enterprise looking great before summer starts. Here are three small touch-up jobs that make a big difference: 

1. Exterior Painting Projects 

Spring is one of the best times to complete an exterior project for your business. All indicators show a successful first quarter. 

With low unemployment and a solid economy, many Oregon businesses are looking to reinvest in their facilities. 

But spring also marks a great time to perform exterior painting because of the mild climate. 

You can rest assured that spring exterior painting will be a solid, lasting investment. The temperature is just right to maximize the life and longevity of the paint application.

2. Flooring 

Interior and exterior flooring can both benefit from a quality sealant applied in the spring. This doesn’t just beautify and update your spaces. 

A sealant can make your facility more durable while fighting off fungus and microorganisms. Epoxy is a great choice to protect against spills and provide slip protection as well.

Using spring projects to pay close attention to your floor provides safety benefits while preserving your commercial space. Plus, it looks great. 

3. Pay Attention To Your Roof 

We survived a winter filled with blizzards, rain, and even tornadoes here in Oregon in 2016-2017. It’s a great time to ask how your roof is holding up.

Even in the case where there has been little to no damage you can head off the effects of our vicious winter season by performing paint projects this spring. 

These projects could range from a touch-up of paint to a sealing effort. But there is little doubt that your assets could be at risk without performing a roof maintenance this year. 

A commercial painting expert is sure to help you identify areas of concern and create a small project to ensure the longevity of your roof. Your insurance, insulation, and facility may all benefit from this type of attention this year. 

Make sure you’re getting the best support when it comes to commercial painting.

Creating a welcoming, clean, and safe environment is central to maintaining healthcare and retirement homes in the Willamette Valley. These spaces are more than buildings; they’re where residents and patients find care and comfort. So, every detail in the physical environment, from the lighting to the layout, should reflect your commitment to their well-being. One key yet often overlooked detail? Interior painting. When done thoughtfully, it goes far beyond aesthetics—it shapes the atmosphere, reinforces safety, and contributes to a sense of care that’s felt by everyone who walks through the door. Understanding the Needs of Healthcare and Retirement Homes It goes without saying: healthcare and retirement facilities have unique painting needs that go beyond aesthetics. High-traffic areas experience regular wear and tear, and frequent cleaning can cause paint to degrade faster than in typical environments. Additionally, maintaining a sanitary and safe environment is paramount. This is why painting should not only be about beautification but also about durability and hygiene. Seasonal painting schedules allow healthcare and retirement homes to address their most critical areas—like hallways, communal spaces, and entryways—at the right time, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum effectiveness. Seasonal Painting Considerations It’s all about having a predictable maintenance plan, simplifying your to-do list and keeping your facility looking its best throughout the year. 1. Spring/Summer: Refreshing the Exterior and Common Areas Spring and summer are ideal seasons for tackling exterior painting projects. The mild weather conditions mean paint will dry faster, and there’s less risk of moisture interfering with the application. Also consider brightening up communal spaces, such as dining areas and lounges. This can lift spirits and provide a fresh, inviting atmosphere. Seasonal colors like pastels or light neutrals can help create a calm and pleasant environment for residents. Summer into early fall is an ideal time for exterior painting too. The lower chances of rain and consistent temps allow for larger projects to be completed faster and with less interference from the weather. 2. Fall/Winter: Focus on Interior Updates The cooler months are ideal for tackling interior projects. During fall and winter, healthcare and retirement homes often operate at a more predictable pace, making it a good time to schedule interior painting updates without significantly disrupting daily routines. Winter is a great time to refresh patient rooms, hallways, and bathrooms with more durable finishes that can withstand regular cleaning.
