4 Tips to Better Manage Your Next Commercial Painting or Repair Project

Managing commercial painting and repair projects can sometimes be unfamiliar territory, especially if you’ve never handled a project with that specific scope before. To help you better manage your next commercial painting or repair project, our team at CertaPro Painters of Indianapolis would like to share 4 tips you can use.

1. Make sure you select the right project partner and materials

Selecting the right project partner to paint or repair your commercial buildings is critical to ensure that the work you receive is high quality and can provide you with long-lasting results. When determining who to work with, it may help to ask questions or for examples of similar previous projects they’ve worked on. Then you can compare your options so you can make an informed decision before choosing a partner.

It’s also important to make sure the materials you’re planning to use on the interior or exterior of your property are suited to the personalized needs of your space. Specifically, think about nuances like the type of surface you’re planning to paint and repair or the general weather conditions in your area. If you’re unsure about what materials might work best, this is where your project partner can help by providing you with their industry expertise.

2. Prioritize communication

Prioritizing communication throughout your project from start to finish is another tip you can use to better manage your next commercial painting or repair project. All of our processes come standard with tight communication but if you’re unsure what to expect, here are some examples of where you can specifically prioritize communication with your project partner:

Planning. In the planning stage, you can use communication to help you ensure that every step of your project is coordinated and operations move more efficiently.
Implementation. Throughout the implementation of your project, you can use communication to make sure you get the certainty you deserve and are always aware of the next steps.
Completion. In the final completion stage of your project, you can use communication to ensure that everything has been painted or repaired to your satisfaction.

The type of commercial facilities you manage and the specific project you’re completing may influence the scope of communications needed.

3. Schedule periodic inspections

If your commercial painting or repair project is on a larger scale, you may want to schedule periodic inspections throughout the completion of your project. Taking this additional step is beneficial to help you identify any quality concerns earlier on and have them taken care of immediately, rather than at the end.

Specifically, this strategy can be useful if you’re managing a commercial painting or repair project for a condo community’s homeowner’s association or an apartment complex. We regularly consult with condo community board members who prefer to complete certain the scope of work in phases to address the greatest need first.

4. Maintain high standards of safety

Maintaining high standards of safety during the completion of your project is not only important for your painting and repair partner, but also for any workers or residents who might be present. This can be especially important for retail businesses, multi-family living complexes or communities, and many other commercial spaces.
