The Benefits of Exterior Commercial Painting

Get a free quote
Painting

What goes on inside a commercial building is essential to the success of a business or organization. But the exterior of a commercial building also requires attention and care to function for years to come. Painting the exterior of a commercial does more than just brighten up the appearance of the building. It can also protect the exterior from wear, damage, and exposure.

The benefits of painting your business building are significant. Just think, your business image is an important part of your success. You wouldn’t show up to a meeting wearing a faded and frayed shirt, and you shouldn’t let your company do the equivalent by showing a faded, peeling paint job. A good paint scheme can help you present a positive and inviting image that appeals to customers, employees and passersby.

This article will explore the benefits of exterior commercial painting and how to prepare for this sometimes daunting task.

Color Influences Your Mood

Improving company morale is one of the biggest hidden benefits of painting your business building. Didn’t know that was possible?

Studies show that color affects your emotions and more; it can encourage physiological reactions such as increased metabolism and blood pressure. As a communications tool, it can influence your mood, elicit a certain reaction or response, and signal or encourage action (like making a purchase).

Here’s a look at some basic colors and the feelings they inspire:

  • Red: Intense, energetic
  • Orange: Warm, exciting
  • Yellow: Friendly, uplifting
  • Blue: Calming, trusting
  • Green: Relaxing, refreshing
  • Gray: Cool, steady, strong
  • Black: Regal, formal

The concept of feng shui acknowledges the usefulness of colors. They are part of the practice’s overall goal of creating a balanced work or living space. 

Interior Paint

Depending on the type of business you have and what you want to accomplish, color can help you achieve your goals. For example, blue is a good choice for a spa, while red fits a gym. Yellow is inviting in a retail environment, and gray and blue are perfect for attorneys and other professionals. Even different shades of the same color can evoke different feelings, and mixing two colors in a complementary design can give you the benefits of both.

Why is Exterior Paint Important?

Painting the exterior of your commercial building is an investment in your property. Adding paint does more than simply change the appearance of your building.

Choosing the right color scheme for your exterior depends on the style of your building, where you are located and whether it is regulated by city codes. Regardless of color, it is imperative that you maintain the look of your building and that includes the paint. In addition, faded, chipped or peeling paint should be repainted as soon as possible.

Here are some of the most significant benefits of exterior commercial painting.

Protection

Commercial building exteriors come in a variety of materials, including wood, metal, or concrete. Regardless of what material a commercial building’s exterior is made of, it requires protection that a layer of paint can provide.

The exterior surfaces of commercial buildings deteriorate over time without protection. There are several problems this type of building faces, including:

  • Aggregate expansion that occurs when concrete absorbs water
  • Corrosion from water that seeps into the walls and reaches the metal framework
  • Chemical damage that happens when building materials are exposed to natural elements in the atmosphere

Paint prevents exterior surfaces from absorbing moisture and forms a seal between the building’s walls and the outdoor elements. The result? Less chance of mold, corrosion, and other damage.

Less maintenance

You may spend a lot of time and money cleaning the exterior of your commercial building. Painting the exterior walls can make it significantly easier to keep the building looking fresh and clean. A high-gloss paint provides a surface that is easy to wipe clean, allowing you to spend your energy on more important things.

Better customer impressions

Imagine your commercial building as though you’ve never seen it before. Are there stains, crumbling concrete, or visible dirt covering the exterior? Your customers will use what they see to form a first impression of your business. A dirty or neglected exterior may make them wonder how much care and attention you give to other aspects of your business.

A fresh coat of exterior paint can improve the appearance of your business. Your customers will form a better first impression of your business, and you’ll convey your attention to detail to anyone passing by.

Prepping for Exterior Painting

Painting the exterior of a commercial building can be intimidating. With so much area to cover and prep to do, you might feel overwhelmed. Hiring professional commercial painters is often the best bet if you’d like to save time and have the job done right the first time.

If you do choose to handle the painting job yourself, here are some helpful tips:

  • Clean the entire exterior of the building to remove dirt, grease, and mold by power washing, scraping, and sandblasting
  • Use proper protection for anyone painting and all surfaces near the building
  • Look ahead at the weather forecast and plan to paint when the weather is likely to be dry and warm

An exterior commercial painting project is an investment of time and energy that is certain to pay off down the road. Take the time to do it right–or hire a professional painting team that can.

Owner & Managing Member at Colorado Painting

Originally from Texas, I’m now thrilled to call Colorado home! Life at our house is full of energy, with four kids, a dog, a cat, and a rotating cast of fish (turns out they’re not the easiest pets to keep alive). Thankfully, my wife Erin and I somehow manage to stay afloat. I’m a proud graduate of Vanderbilt University and have been fortunate to live and work across the country, gaining valuable experiences along the way. When I’m not working, I enjoy making the most of Colorado’s beautiful outdoors, catching up with friends and family, following sports, especially European football, and exploring Boulder’s fantastic craft beer scene. I’m passionate about supporting our team members, whom we proudly refer to as Partners, in delivering top-tier customer service and achieving outstanding results. Looking forward to the opportunity to work together!
