The interior and exterior of your facility are what make the first impression of your business. Many don’t realize that if you don’t do preventative maintenance painting, it can result in a poor aesthetic, can cause expensive damage or repairs needed down the line, and overall facility downtime. None of these issues help to make a good first impression.
Let's explore the benefits of preventative maintenance painting and how it can benefit your facility.
When a potential or existing customer drives by your facility or sees pictures online, preventative maintenance painting is what will stand out. If the paint looks drab and unkempt, clients may relate the lack of aesthetic appeal to how you do business. If the paint has a fresh, clean appearance, customers will see that you run an orderly, successful business.
It is important to focus on exterior painting and interior painting maintenance. You always want your exterior to look its best because it adds curb appeal, surface protection, and long-term value. Proper exterior painting and preventative exterior painting protects against moisture, energy loss, pests, and premature decay. Without proper exterior painting maintenance, water will damage your siding and corrode it, allowing heat or air conditioning out of the building and pests in.
Before implementing interior or exterior painting, proper surface preparation steps need to be taken. This could include power washing and sandblasting to remove dirt and refresh surfaces, refreshes grimey surfaces, and extends the life of the paint.
Interior painting is just as important. It adds style and sets the tone for customers and employees walking through the facility. It also is important to choose the right paint and make sure it is applied appropriately when being applied for the first time or done as a preventative measure. Keeping up with preventative maintenance painting can help mitigate issues and protect from future damages or repairs.
Not doing preventative maintenance painting can result in serious damages that can add up over time. For example, rust can occur, and if the rust is not taken care of, that could lead to concrete issues. Paint coatings help to slow the water and oxygen from getting to the metal surface. Once it reaches the metal, corrosion, or rust, appears. If the rust is not treated properly, this can lead to issues with your concrete, an expensive and time-consuming fix. You do not want to end up having to replace all your concrete. By doing preventative maintenance painting, you can alleviate rust and concrete issues while avoiding facility downtime.
