Painting commercial buildings can be a complicated task because of the sheer size and height of these buildings. So when you want to give a new look or refurbish the building by giving it a new coat of paint, you need to look for a painter who can undertake a high risk job like this. You need to do some research to get an idea of painting companies that can accomplish the work.
When you find a potential company for commercial painting Brisbane, you need to check whether they have proper insurance up to date and licensing required to work in your region. Liability insurance is essential as it will cover any injuries to their employees during the project. Also, it will provide a cover for your building if there is any damage to the property. So you need to check whether all the legal requirements for a company are there before you give them the job. Because of the high risk nature of this job, you need to be diligent when it comes to checking their experience. They may be working at a large height and use scaffolding or abseiling equipment to keep them stable enough to paint. You should ask about the type of projects they have done and whether they match the scale and complexity of your building.
What you can do is ask for photos of their completed work with a description of the building. You can also check for buildings they have painted in your local area so that you can drive by and get an understanding of the scope of the projects they have done. You simply cannot go to residential painters for this task as it requires higher safety standards because of the increased risk factors. The company should have the right equipment and the tools to carry out the work. At your initial meeting, you can ask about what equipment they will use and what their process is when it comes to completing a project such as this. Make sure you ask them about the safety protocols in place when it comes to the safety of their employees, occupants of the building, passersby in the street and also the safety of the building.
You can also contact local business owners for recommendations of commercial painters. When it comes to a commercial painting job, the timeframe is very limited. You need to have the task completed as soon as possible. This is why it is so important to stress the timeframe that you want it done and check with the painter whether they can work according to that. Ask whether they have taken other projects that need to be completed before yours. If they have a very busy schedule, it is best to check with a different painter. The painting fees should be discussed early on as this will differ from company to company. Once you have a list of potential companies, you can ask them to visit the site and give an estimate on the fees as well as the timeframe. You can then compare the estimates to see who has given a more reasonable price. But the quality of the paint and equipment used should be taken into account.
