Why Your Business Needs a Professional Paint Job

May 28, 2017

Paint JobFor business owners in Oregon who need painting services, it isn’t enough to hire a contractor and hope for the best. Your paint job can’t be based on the lowest initial price. 

Unfortunately, there is so much at stake when it comes to hiring a paint contractor that many business owners don’t take into account. 

Before you hire a fly-by-night company or a small, inexperienced painter to handle your commercial needs it’s important to consider overall value. 

Doing a cost and benefit analysis will often reveal that low price amateurs are more costly in the long run.

Make sure you understand why your business needs a professional paint job. 

Here’s why:

1. Zero Disruption To Business

You call a contractor and start work. They put down the tarps, tape the windows, set up the ladders and start painting.

Then something happens. Your contractor disappears. 

With commercial paint projects, you can’t afford to risk the possible disruption to your business an amateur could bring.  

A professional contractor can work around your schedule as well as your busy times. What’s more, you can rest assured they will get the work done on schedule. 

When you hire an established professional with positive references and great customer reviews you know there will be zero disruption to your business. 

2. A Paint Job Should Protect Your Assets 

Painting for a commercial enterprise isn’t as simple as beautification. You’re also investing in the preservation of your business assets. 

A non-professional paint job won’t last long. And it won’t provide the same level of protection. 

After the vicious winter of 2016-2017, it’s more important than ever to assess the damage to your facilities and correct them right away. 

A professional will give you peace of mind that you’ve invested wisely.

3. You Can’t Afford The Liability 

If you hire an inexperienced firm you may be footing the bill for injuries and safety issues. If your job is done by an amateur with no attention to OSHA rules and regulations you could be liable if an injury takes place onsite. 

Worse still, is the liability for the safety of your employees and customers. A non-professional may not have a certificate of insurance.

Are you willing to take on the safety and insurance liabilities of a small company while they perform services for you? Your initial cost savings could be from a lack of insurance or safety precautions. 

A professional will have you (and them) covered every step of the way. 

4. You Need To Get It Right The First Time 

Hiring the best commercial painting company means getting it done right. 

You can’t afford ugly mistakes. And you can’t handle the hassle of bringing an amateur back in to correct their faulty work. You may even have to shell out the cost of hiring a second contractor if you don’t get it right the first time.

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.
