Top 5 Maintenance Interior Painting Jobs Businesses Tend to Overlook

Interior Maintenance Painting Jobs to Consider

1. Specialized Coating Application

You might think that “paint is paint,” but there are countless paint products that differ in composition and intended purpose. Experienced commercial interior painters can tell you all about the various products they might use for walls, ceilings, machinery, and other specific surfaces. Some businesses don’t know that there are specialized, high-durability coatings for walls and equipment that provide significant protection without sacrificing beauty. These specially-engineered products resist moisture, abrasions, chemicals, and more.

2. Floor Paint

If you’re trying to enhance your interior’s appearance, it can be easy to hone in on walls and other surfaces that are constantly in view. However, it’s important to keep your floors in mind, too. Not only do your floors contribute to your interior’s overall look -- they also serve as the foundation for all your foot traffic. As such, if these floors aren’t well-maintained, optimized, and/or properly protected, your business, employees, and customers may suffer. The job of commercial floor painting contractors is precisely to make your floors safer, more durable, and more beautiful via special coatings like epoxy, urethane cement, polyurea, and more.

3. Routine Cleaning

Though cleaning isn’t a commercial painting job, per se, it is an essential step for protecting your interior coatings from damage and deterioration. If you don’t routinely dust, vacuum, and wash your painted surfaces, they will more quickly lose their color and show signs of wear and tear. Regular cleaning will also allow you to remove scuffs and stains to maintain a fresh appearance.

4. Topcoat Sealing

While quality paint products are protective and durable in their own right, sometimes it pays to go the extra mile and apply an additional topcoat/sealer after the initial coats have dried, especially if your business experiences a lot of activity. A topcoat will provide a harder finish that protects the surface from impact and prevents moisture from contacting the underlying paint and substrate. Commercial painters may also apply topcoat sealers to lock in the underlying paint so it’s less likely to chip or peel away from the surface over time.

5. Caulking

Most interior painting services take care of caulking before painting, but it’s important to make sure your contractors include this step in your estimate for additional accountability. Overlooking caulking is a major mistake, as even small breaches in your trim, corners, and edges can allow moisture, pests, and other unwanted materials to enter your business. A quality caulk job should hold up for about five years, but it’s a good idea to have your caulking inspected and redone every time you touch-up your interior surfaces.
