The Difference Between a Home and Commercial Painter

While they may seem similar, commercial painters generally work on larger projects like office buildings and professional home painters usually just go to your house. No matter the size of your project, R Company’s commercial painter team is ready to help. 

What Does a Commercial Painter Do?

If you need a large facility painted such as a shop, or even an airport or football stadiums, commercial painters are the ones to call. Commercial painters usually have plenty of employees and equipment in order to complete large jobs quickly. This includes cherry picker cranes for high up tasks and access to premium grade all-weather. Painters will also have access to commercial paint supplies that are generally not necessary for painting homes. This is not to say that these painters do not paint homes. They simply have the equipment necessary for bigger jobs.

They begin by preparing surfaces for painting. This may usually means removing old paint, filling holes and washing walls. Commercial painters must also ensure that surfaces are not susceptible to moisture by sealing cracks and corners where building materials meet. Once a surface is clean and ready to be painted, primer is applied. Primer is selected based on the location and type of surface being finished. Professional painters must apply primer and paint at the appropriate spread rate and temperature in order to ensure the best results.

Why Choose a Commercial Painter Over a Home Painter?

Your typical home painter will have experience working with wood, siding, and other materials that houses are made from. Commercial painters, on the other hand, have wider experience with a bigger range of materials including stucco, concrete, and metal.  Moreover, businesses and other public buildings that have a lot of traffic usually require more durable paint or other protective coatings. This is necessary to the location can withstand the high wear and tear than a residential home does not generally have to deal with. A commercial painter will know what is necessary for the job to be done well and be ready to provide it.
