Since the majority of commercial property owners spend most of their time within a building, it is easier to think about internal maintenance and to notice paint issues inside. However, the building's exterior is just as important. When it comes to exterior commercial painting, the two biggest factors are appearance and protection.

Why Commercial Exterior Painting Is Important

Your building's exterior often creates a first impression with people. They may drive by and see it, and the look of the building may prompt them to stop or compel them to keep driving. The same is true with online searches. Many people today look for a company online and click on the map photos to see pictures of the location. If your building's exterior is unattractive or has peeling paint, it can send a negative message about service quality, product quality and even customer care. You can use exterior paint to reflect your brand and its image. For example, if you have a new company with a brand that emanates positive thinking and cheerfulness, you may choose coordinating bright colors for your building to convey that message. Never underestimate the aesthetic power of a high-quality paint job and colors that are chosen carefully.

Another reason why exterior paint is important is because it helps protect the structure. A high-quality paint that is applied properly can create a protective seal that helps prevent moisture from seeping in. If water seeps in, it can cause discoloration, water damage behind the walls and mold growth. Since these issues can be costly to fix as they worsen, exterior paint should be considered a necessity.

 

When Is It Time for New Paint?

The paint on your building does not have to be peeling or severely cracked for a new application. In many cases, exterior paint is good for up to seven years. However, some factors may shorten that projection. One factor is changing weather. In Minnesota, the humidity of summer and the freezing winter moisture can shorten the life of exterior paint. If you are unsure about when your building was painted last or when it needs to be painted again, call for an assessment from a professional.
