When it comes to commercial painting projects, choosing the right contractor is essential. Painting a large commercial property can be a daunting task, but with the right contractor it doesn’t have to be. Knowing how to select the right contractor for your job will ensure that you get quality results without breaking the bank.
Research & References
Before selecting a painting contractor, do your due diligence. Ask around and look up reviews to determine which contractors are reliable and trustworthy. Additionally, ask potential contractors for references from previous clients so you can see examples of their work and make sure they have experience in similar projects. It’s also important to make sure that any potential contractors are properly licensed and insured before entering into an agreement with them.
Scope of Work & Quotes
When interviewing contractors, provide them with a detailed scope of work outlining exactly what needs to be done, including preparation such as pressure washing or sanding if necessary. Ask potential contractors if they specialize in any particular type of painting or coatings such as epoxy flooring or industrial coatings, as this is important to know when choosing a contractor for your project. Then compare quotes between multiple companies before making your final decision.
Experience & Quality
Experience matters when selecting a commercial painting contractor; look for companies that have been around for several years and know how to handle any challenges that may arise during the project. Additionally, high-quality paints can save you money in the long run; discuss paint options with different contractors and ask them what types of paints they use and why they chose those products over others.
I wanted to thank you and [the Palo Verde Painting] staff on a job well done. Your painting of our commercial building, including exterior walls, doors and mechanicals was simply first class. Not only does your crew have a high attention to detail and quality, but they also did a fantastic job working with (and around) us, and kept us informed completely during the entire process.

I like your suggestion to find a painting contractor with the right experience and tools for the job. My friend wants to try remodeling his aunt’s old summer home into something that looks like a vacation rental space. I believe that giving it a new paintjob can help him achieve that feat.
Thanks for joining the discussion, Zachary! While we focus primarily on commercial painting in this post, the same principles of research, experience, and quality will apply to any residential job as well.
I like that you talked about asking commercial painting contractors for references from previous clients to see how their job was and see if they have handled similar projects before. I think finding someone who has experience with the same type pf property will ensure the success of the job. For example, they have to be well-trained and well-versed on how to reach tall establishments and certain type of surfaces.
It was interesting to know that we should choose a commercial painting contractor with years of experience in the field. My friend wants to get their facility painted. I should advise him to hire an expert in commercial painting to ensure quality work.
