Commercial Painting Company in Boston, MA

To an average person, painting is painting. Just buy enough paint, apply it to the drywall, and everything will start looking afresh. But then, it’s not as simple as that. When you are ready to embark on a painting project, understanding the differences between commercial and residential projects might be helpful. 

Quantity of Required Paint – Generally, most commercial painting projects are usually larger than residential painting. Because of the relative difference in size, commercial projects often require a higher quantity of paint. Besides, it would help if you kept in mind that the quality of the paint will also affect the amount needed to complete each project. If you resort to low-quality paint, more coatings will need to get the desired result. 

Painting Project Management – Commercial painting projects may involve multiple stakeholders. For example, there is always the need to consider client and employee concerns. Sometimes, the project might disrupt business operation processes during the execution. Because of the potential disruption, higher levels of planning and efficiency are required for most commercial projects. You are probably dealing with a single stakeholder for residential painting projects – the homeowner. 

Services Provided – The diversity of commercial painting services is often wider when compared to residential projects. With commercial properties, building surface designs are rarely the same. Those differences in design influence the need for extra or special services to suit the uniqueness of every business need. For instance, interior painting for a manufacturing facility may require different equipment and special services. Some of the services that make commercial projects include: 

• Waterproof coating 
• Epoxy coating 
• Roof coating 
• Metal door painting 
• Line stripping 
• Masonry coating 
• Stenciling 
• Concreate ceiling repair 
• Joint expansion sealing 
• Brick waterproof coating 
• Sandblasting 

Project Scheduling – Most businesses are known to be open within traditional work hours on weekdays. During those hours, painting a commercial property may obstruct normal business operations. To avoid this, scheduling the work outside the conventional hours, weekends, or holidays seems perfect for most businesses. On the other hand, we can carry out residential painting on any day, including conventional work hours. Depending on the client’s needs, the Boston Painting Company is known for flexible scheduling that suits our clients and their current priorities. 

Execution Risk – When you think about the differences between residential and commercial painting, the risks involved in project execution are rarely the same. In the context of commercial painting, a slight disruption of an established workflow may affect operating performance, supply chain management, and company reputation. Such potential effects are related to the interdependent nature of client relationships and employee performance. 

If your employees are not performing at their normal pace due to painting project-related disruptions, such disruptions may strain your company’s relationship with other stakeholders. Besides, environmental safety compliance is another dimension of execution risk. 

These are some risks that are rarely involved in a residential painting project. In specific terms, there are no potential disruptions to make you worried. Before and during the process, we ensure that the painters strictly follow all government regulations.
