You want your commercial building to look attractive and well kept. It sends the message to the public that your business is flourishing and therefore attracts more business. However, sometimes the previous coat of paint peels, cracks, or fades.
Keeping your building in top shape means regular maintenance by a commercial painting company to ensure the greatest curb appeal for your business. Routine tasks like pressure washing and paint touch-ups help keep commercial coatings looking their best.
Let’s take a look at some of the more common problems that DANCO Commercial Painters successfully solves on a daily basis as part of our commercial painting services.
Ready to start planning your commercial painting project? Here’s what you should know!
Faded Paint
Faded paint doesn’t look fresh or vibrant; It gives a commercial building a tired look that diminishes curb appeal significantly. Consult a commercial painting company for the best advice on choosing the right kind of paint to solve this common problem.
Repainting over dull, faded paint can visually bring a building back to life, but some paints fade over time faster than others. A professional painting company can help you choose a higher grade, more fade-resistant paint. (Not to mention apply the new paint with attention to detail.)
Galvanized Surfaces
When applying paint, you need it to stick to get a smooth finish, so if the surface is a metal exterior, it can be much more challenging to get the paint to adhere properly. For the job to be successful, a primer must be applied prior to the application of any oil-based or vinyl latex style paints.
Chalking
Chalking describes loose, white powdery pigment residue on the surface of a coating. This can happen over time, alongside a loss of sheen and color. This is sometimes expected, but choosing higher quality paints can make a difference and help you avoid this issue.
Rough Surfaces
Having any roughness to the surface that is going to be painted also causes problems and can be due to old paint or the walls themselves. If this is the situation, the main priority is to smooth out any areas that are not smooth by sanding the area first before applying the industrial paint coatings.
Cracks or Holes
In most cases, small holes or cracks can be fixed easily, but if there are larger ones on the surface, they will need to be addressed before proceeding. And if they are too large, you may have to contact a professional builder to get the wall prepped correctly for the painting process.
Stains
Stains are unsightly and they lower the room's aesthetic, which is why you might be considering painting over them – they can be an issue if they are not dealt with first.
In most cases, cleaners will need to be used to remove the discoloration while at the same time ensuring the focused area is not weakened from the pressure washing. Once this is completed, your DANCO contractor can get started on creating a look you love.
Cracked or Blistered Paint
Nothing looks worse than paint that’s separated from the substrate and is peeling away, making a building look ugly and unkempt. The commercial painting contractors at DANCO can solve this type of problem for you by removing loose and peeling paint and carefully preparing the substrate for a new coat. Preparation is the key to superior adhesion that makes the paint last much longer and retain its attractiveness.
Mold or Mildew
Fungus of this type usually grows on the shady side of a building, or where one building shades another. Mold will grow on almost any surface and permanently stains the building material beneath a darker color. The commercial painting contractors at DANCO have over 33 years of dealing with this unsightly problem. After completely removing the mold, the area is treated and re-painted with mold-resistant paint to inhibit the growth of the fungus.
