What Exterior Maintenance Painting Does for Your Company Culture

Commercial exterior painting maintenance should be a priority investment in your business. In our decades of providing commercial exterior painting services for Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia facilities, PAINTech crews have seen firsthand the power of regular painting and maintenance. Here’s what it can do for you.

How Regular Painting and Maintenance Can Help Your Company Culture

Improve Curb Appeal

Wear and tear on exterior paint finishes is normal, due to the buildings’ constant exposure to the elements, and to temperature fluctuations. If exterior paint falls into disrepair or deterioration, potential customers, clients, and vendors will notice before they even make it in the door to do business.

And your teams will take note, too. If you say you take excellence seriously, but let your building exterior go on looking rundown and unkempt, your employees and partners will sense a gap between your stated values and your real company culture.

Keeping commercial building exterior painting updated and maintained, on the other hand, sends a message of cleanliness that’s welcome and inviting to everyone you work with and work for. Not to mention it upholds property value, both by maintaining a pleasing appearance and keeping the underlying structures in better shape over time.

Help You Stand Out

Whether you’re reopening, rebranding, or launching a new product or service, including some exterior painting refreshes in your rollout can add that extra “wow factor” that makes your business stand out. Simple things like trim painting, touch-ups, or repainting your entryway will go a long way toward turning heads and complementing the changes you’re making to your services.

Keep Your Building Healthy

Exterior paint deterioration and damage is an eyesore, but there’s more at stake. Any deterioration in your paint finishes makes your walls more vulnerable, which could increase discomfort and health risks related to:

  • Mold and Mildew: When moisture gets in through your exterior walls, unchecked damage could cause mold and mildew to spread. That could trigger illness and discomfort throughout your workplace.

  • Airborne Allergens: Similarly, airborne allergens like dust, pollen, and spores are going to cling to your walls over time. And they can make their way in through any compromised spots in your exterior.

  • Pests: Bugs and other pests can sneak in through even the smallest cracks and crevices. Keeping exterior paint and caulking maintained across your facility exterior is a must to prevent them causing annoyance and spreading dirt and germs through your building.

Your company culture no doubt includes wanting people to have a pleasant experience while working for you or doing business with you. This is a lot easier if no health hazards are making their way inside through damage in your exterior paint.

If it’s been a while since cleaning those exterior walls, hiring a pressure washing or local sandblasting company can get surfaces cleaner of debris and more ready for improvements than cleaning those surfaces by hand.

Show Your Commitment to Safety

Along with improving aesthetics, boosting morale, and making a good first impression, keeping your commercial facility painting projects up to date demonstrates a commitment to safety.

This is particularly true in your parking lot. If your asphalt line striping has faded to the point of being unclear or significantly less visible, you could have backups, confusion, and even accidents in your lot. Line striping and other parking lot wayfinding should be clear and well kept year-round, so the parking lot stays full but orderly, without posing unnecessary liability issues for you as an owner or facility manager.
