A professional and quality paint job can make all the difference in sprucing up your commercial site. Simply by painting both the interior and exterior can draw attention to your business and shows that you are detail oriented.
Clients and other consumers of your services or products will make a quick evaluation of your business premise based on your visual presentation. If the exterior looks seedy or run down with a weathered exterior or peeling paint, you could end up losing customers. In the commercial real estate business this is known as curb appeal.
The same applies to your interior so you want to everything possible that will give that extra edge. Presentation is everything and a simple paint job using an appropriate colour scheme can help you develop your brand.
There are a lot of commercial painters but just about anyone can hang out a shingle and call themselves a commercial painter. A quality paint job requires more than just a few rollers and cans of paint. It is vital you do some checking and research the ones you select to bid on your job as they need to be treated the same as any other contractor.
Here are some tips to help you find the best commercial painters in Calgary for your business. Some of the key questions you should ask include the following:
1. What are their business qualifications?
Commercial painters require a business license with the City of Calgary. They are also required to have a contractor’s license through the province. Additionally, you also want to ask them if they are insured and what kind of coverage they carry. It also shows they are especially conscientious if the company is bonded as well.
2. What are their professional qualifications?
A quality commercial painting company is both detail and quality oriented. They should be experienced not only at the management level but they should also have experienced painters on their staff. You also want to know that they have a means to manage every aspect of the project, and know how to use the work specs to fulfill your expectations and direction.
You also want to ensure they have proper supervision so that each section of the project is inspected and meets the job requirements that you have specified. You also need to ask about the products they are using so that you are getting the best quality and most suitable paint for different surfaces.
3. Is the cost competitive?
One key question you ask a commercial painter is whether they have accounts with the best paint manufacturers. You want to avoid a contractor who uses short cuts and inferior products which will negatively affect the end result or deteriorate far sooner than anticipated.
4. What about deadlines?
You want a contractor who can guarantee they will meet all your deadlines to complete the project on time. A professional contractor has good communications skills and will keep you apprised of any problems and how the project is progressing.
A quality paint job can make all the difference if the contractor knows their products and takes the time to prep well. Inferior paint products can begin to peel and break down quickly which means you might to incur that expense much sooner than anticipated. As always, you should ask a lot of questions and follow up on their references before choosing a Calgary commercial painter.
