How Often Should Commercial Buildings Be Painted?

A dull building exterior can leave a bad impression. While it is not necessary to repaint, you’re building every year, you must conduct regular cleaning and painting to ensure it looks good.

You can consider Body Corporate Painting Brisbane for your commercial building painting requirements.

How Often Should You Repaint Your Commercial Building?

Ideally, it would help to repaint your commercial building every 5-10 years. This timeframe depends on the quality of paint used and how well the building is maintained.

You may have to repaint the building sooner if it suffers damage due to rain, harsh winds, or sunlight. You can extend the life of your building’s paint by:

  • Using the right kind of paint to suit the environment outside
  • Prepping the surface well before painting
  • Fixing any underlying damage to prevent future problems
  • Using good quality paint that requires minimal care
  • Regularly clean and maintain the structure to prevent excessive dust and dirt build-up.

Signs Your Commercial Building Needs to be Painted

While it is essential to paint your commercial building, it can get tricky to determine when to take up the painting project. Here are common signs that indicate your building needs to be repainted:

Paint Peeling Off

The first indicator that your commercial building may require a new look is the peeling paint. The exterior of your commercial property is as important as the interior in making an impression on prospective clients. If your building’s exterior walls are dull with paint coming off, it would be good to repaint them.

Colors Fading

If your building is exposed to harsh sunlight, then the ultraviolet rays from the sun can degrade the paint.

Typically, deep and vibrant colors will fade faster. You may have to paint your commercial building every two to three years if your building is exposed to harsh sunlight.

Chalking

Chalking is the formation of a chalk-like powder on your building’s surface. This usually occurs due to weathering and leads to the degradation of the binder.

While minimal chalking is normal as the paint gets old, excessive chalking can make your building’s exterior look discolored and dirty.

Mildew and Mold

Mold and mildew affect your building’s appearance. It also creates a potential health risk for anyone coming in and out of the building. Black spots and dark stains on the exterior walls of your building are indicators of mildew and mold growth.

Environmental Damage

Being exposed to harsh weather conditions like snow, ice, rain, and high humidity can affect your building’s paint.

Damaged exterior paint will not protect your building from the elements and can lead to other issues like leakage.

Tips to Paint Your Commercial Building

Here are a few tips for painting your commercial building to make it look good:

Find the Right Company

Finding the right company to paint your commercial building is critical. Ensure the company you select is licensed and insured. Check for past work and references from old customers.

Ask the company if they have handled projects as large or small as yours. Before hiring them, understand their process, ask about payment methods, and make sure they are fully aware of the project’s scope before hiring them.

Working with a painting company like Body Corporate Painting Brisbane will ensure your commercial building painting is completed on time.

The company specializes in corporate painting and will ensure quality work. They offer exterior and common area painting, color advice, maintenance, inspections, and cost consulting.

Pick the Right Color

The colors of your building should complement your brand. Color can impact employee mood and productivity and make an impression on your customers.

Every color has its benefits. You can even speak to color consultants who will guide you on what color best suits your company.

Ensure Your Building is Up to Code

Check if your building is up to code before starting the paint job and get any damage repaired.

Ensure everything in your building functions properly. You don’t want issues to crop up just after you are done with the painting.

Consider your Budget and Scheduling

Determine how much you are ready to spend on the painting of your commercial building. Budgeting will guide you and ensure that you don’t burn your pockets.

Schedule the painting to affect the work minimally. You might have to inform your employees and customers about the painting and ask them not to visit the building on certain days.
