It’s always nice to move into a new workspace – everything is clean and a more comfortable place to work. However, over time, almost unnoticed, the space becomes “used”; Scratches and dirt can appear on the walls, and this can have a negative impact on the workplace.
There are many studies that show how the environment can affect an employee’s ability to work. Something as simple as wall color has been shown to affect productivity, concentration, and the amount of time spent at workstations. Fewer accidents occur in brighter workspaces and the need for additional lighting is reduced.
A simple fresh coat of paint can help achieve many of these goals—increased productivity, safety, and reduced costs—in a very cost-effective manner.
The benefits don’t stop there. Clients, suppliers and investors take note of your workplace. The more professional appearance of a well-painted space will have a positive effect on their perceptions and their desire to do business with your company. If you own the space and are trying to sell or lease it, a new layer of can increase the value of the property.
Now how do you take care of your painting needs and run your business at the same time? Hiring a professional commercial painting service can alleviate many of the headaches that come with repainting your workspace. They can offer advice on which colors will work best and how to get the job done with the least disruption to your business.
Finding the right commercial painting service will be easier if you look for the following:
An Established Business – Many painting services come and go and don’t care as much about the job they do. Request customer testimonials and see examples of the company’s work. Established companies want to make sure your needs are met and that you are happy with the work; this is how they get more business.
Enough staff to get the job done correctly and in a timely manner. For jobs big or small, you don’t want 10 people painting a 250-square-foot office; or two people painting their warehouse. You need to know that the job will be done quickly, efficiently, and in a timely manner.
Free Quotes – If they know what they are doing, they will be able to accurately estimate costs without too much effort and stick to the prices they quote.
Quality Materials – Many suppliers will use inferior quality paints to save money. Make sure that the paints used are of high quality, durable and washable; you don’t want to do this again too soon.
Painting your workspace can benefit productivity, reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, and increase property value. The right company will do the job for a reasonable price and keep business interruptions to a minimum. It’s clear that the benefits of repainting your workplace far outweigh the costs.
