They will:

• get the job done correctly

• guarantee their work to your satisfaction

Paint Color Choice

To begin your commercial painting venture you will need to choose a color that is appropriate for the area you are going to paint. Consult your contractor who will be happy to assist you in color options for your specific business.  Cool blue and green colors are typically associated with tranquility and relaxation, whereas brighter reds, earth tones and oranges are representative of energy and social gathering areas.

You can use color relationships as a road map but be willing to experiment if you want to achieve a unique look for your business.  Complementary colors are those shades that lay on opposing spectrums of the color wheel; this means they visually balance out each other with a high contrast of color that adds tremendous visual flair to the room.  Complementary colors are perfect for an upbeat office environment or contemporary business.

A neutral color scheme, which groups colors that lie next to each other on the color wheel, works very well too.  These closely related colors occur naturally in nature, so the human eye tends to find them pleasing to look at.  Colors from this palette work well if you are looking to create a relaxing environment such as a waiting room.

Painting Prep Work

One of the first things you need to have done is prep the area to be painted.  It is important to have the prep work properly done in order to ensure a perfect environment for painting.  Your professional painting contractor can assist you in this process.

Prior to painting:

• All furniture and accessories will need to be removed or properly covered
• All surfaces to be painted will have to be properly cleaned of dust, dirt or if necessary, grease
• Nicks, dings and stains will be repaired

Painting Process

During the painting process it is important to let the professionals do their job.  You will need to plan ahead to carry out your day to day operations while staying out of the way of the painters.  This is important for your safety and theirs as well as for the integrity of the job.

You will need to consider time for the paint to dry and for clean up.  There will likely be some dust and odor involved.  Allow time for this to subside and be cleaned up.  The painting contractors will be able to take care of all clean up and assist you in furniture placement so that your company can get back to business as usual in a timely manner.
