BLOG From Prep to Perfection: A Comprehensive Guide to Commercial Exterior Painting Oct 04, 2024

If you’re looking to give your commercial building a fresh new look, then exterior painting is one of the best ways to achieve that. A well-painted exterior can not only enhance the aesthetics of your property but also protect it from harsh weather conditions. At Drake Mallard Inc., we understand the importance of a professionally done exterior paint job, which is why we have compiled this comprehensive guide to help you through the process, from prep to perfection.

Preparation is key when it comes to painting the exterior of a commercial building. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and long-lasting finish. The first step is to inspect the building for any damages such as cracks, peeling paint, or mold. These issues should be addressed and fixed before painting can begin.

Next, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt, dust, or debris. This can be done using a power washer or by hand, depending on the size of the building. Once the surface is clean, any loose paint should be scraped off, and the area should be sanded to create a smooth surface for the new paint to adhere to.

After the surface is prepped and ready, it’s time to choose the right paint for the job. When painting the exterior of a commercial building, it’s important to use high-quality, durable paint that can withstand the elements. At Drake Mallard Inc., we work with top-of-the-line paint brands that offer a wide range of colors and finishes to suit your specific needs.

Once the paint is selected, the actual painting process can begin. This should be done by professional painters who have the experience and skills to achieve a flawless finish. Multiple coats may be required, depending on the color and condition of the surface. Our team at Drake Mallard Inc. takes pride in our attention to detail and craftsmanship, ensuring that every project is completed to the highest standards.

After the painting is done, it’s important to properly maintain the exterior of the building to ensure the longevity of the paint job. Regular cleaning and inspections can help prevent damage and keep the paint looking fresh for years to come.
