Painting is vital to the look of any business, as they say first
impressions are lasting impressions. The right look and feel of how your
business is reflected from the inside or outside can leave a lasting
impression on new clients or returning clients. In this regard it is best
to use the services of a professional to get the job done effectively and
efficiently. Before going out and hiring the services of a commercial
painting professional every business owner should consider the following
before hiring the services of one:
*Knowledge: This is a very important aspect to getting what you are
paying for. There are many textures, paint, and styles that a good painter
will know about. A good painter will know what kind of paint to use, when
to use it and how to use it. These things are not to be taken lightly
because you dont what to have to pay for the same job to be done twice.
*Clients: The customer base of a commercial painter will tell you a
little bit about that company and how they are going to perform. Obviously companies who use these services will go to the best in the industry so a company's client list will help you understand how well the quality of work is going to be.
*Professionalism: Is important because the professionalism of a company will not only be reflected in their quality of work but will also be a direct reflection of your company because it is a direct reflection of the type of people you employ. For example, a commercial painting company that can maintain a clean work environment will directly affect how your business if viewed by customers and clients.
*Reputation: This is the cornerstone of any business to business
relationship. Finding out whether or not the painting company is worth it.
Reputation and the old adage "my word is my bond" can go along way for a business to maintain a long lasting customer-client relationship. A good reputation will go a long way.
*Safety: Painting is by no means a safe profession. There are many aspects to painting safely such as ladder safety, respirator safety, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and so on. You must ensure that a painting company follows all the rules of safety standards.
Painting isn't as simple as taking a paintbrush and slapping some paint
on a wall. It takes meticulous care and a large amount of attention to
detail. Good commercial painting professionals know that painting is an
important job not only to build their reputation, but also to help build
the reputation of the company for whom they are painting.
A good quality paint job is important for businesses because it leaves a
lasting impression on clients or business professionals. Painting should
not be underestimated and only a fully qualified experienced commercial
painter should be hired for such a job.

Residential Painting Safety Tips
Although painting does not seem entirely dangerous, especially if you are painting a single room with a roller, there are some things you need to consider before you begin painting. Paint is a highly toxic liquid that can cause harm to eyes and skin and its fumes can cause harm as well. By using appropriate ladders, respirators, safety glasses and masks painting becomes much less dangerous.
Using the Right Ladder: If you are painting an area that you need to use a ladder, it is important to not only select the right ladder for the job but setting it up as well is crucial to having no injuries.
When you are setting up your ladder, you want to make sure you are on a level hard surface. If you are setting up outside on dirty or soft grass, get a sheet of plywood to put under the legs of your ladder. You also want to make sure that you do not stand it up too close to the wall. A good rule to follow is placing the base of your ladder out 1 foot for every 4 feet of the height you are working with. If you have your ladder placed 16 feet in the air, your base should be 4 feet out from the wall.
Choosing the right ladder is critical as well. If you are just painting an interior and you are only 10 feet up, use a step stool instead of a ladder. If you are working with a tall ladder, make sure the upper and lower section overlap a good amount to provide a sturdy structure. You want to make sure you have a long enough ladder as well if leaning up against something. You will want to have 3 feet sticking above the space it is leaning on.
Wear Goggles: I know you might feel stupid wearing goggles but you would feel even worse if you got paint in your eye and had to get it flushed at the hospital. Im not talking a big old pair of goggles, clear eye glasses will work too!
Look Cool in A Disposable Mask: If you are working on a big painting project, especially indoors, you will want to get disposable masks for whoever is working around the paint. These will help you from breathing in dust, paint fumes and other odors.
Don't take a residential painting job lightly. Following these tips will help keep you and other painters from becoming injured on the job.
