Benefits Of Honolulu Commercial Painting Jobs Over Residential

Usama Ijaz • February 22, 2022

One of the top priorities of a painter is to have a steady income and versatile tasks, and it's possible to do commercial jobs instead of residential ones. You'd be shocked how much the coats of commercial paint can do for you. There are several advantages of commercial painting over residential one, and we'll go through each one today.


Benefits of Commercial Painting 



Less Seasonality


For starters, it is less seasonal, especially in areas with frigid winters. Stuff has to be painted when they need to be painted. It makes no difference if it is snowing. It makes no difference if it's Christmas. In fact, some clients, such as manufacturing firms, prefer those improvements to be made during the holiday season when their plant is closed for holidays and repairs.


Larger Projects


Second, commercial projects are typically larger. Is it simpler to organize and manage a $30,000 commercial project or several $3,000 home projects? Exactly. Their size makes it easier to expand team sizes as required, which might help you raise your painter count. 


So, when you recruit a new apprentice or level 1 painter, they can be paired with more experienced painters and given more than enough duties to educate them on a big commercial job.


Increase or Reduce Crew Size


These are also jobs where the team size can be increased or decreased to satisfy other project requirements without jeopardizing the current project. 


Many projects can be sped up or slowed down without causing the consumer any problems. Nobody is looking after you. The folks you work for have more important things to accomplish than keep track of your headcount. Everybody is happy as long as you meet your goals. 


Furthermore, pricing is not as important in purchasing decisions. Money is not as tightly held in the commercial sphere. The majority of the people you will be working with do not invest their own money.


It does not prevent them from purchasing a new automobile or taking a relaxing vacation. It is planned and expected to be spent. 


That's all!


There will be no "we can do this for half the money and spend the rest at Disney World" antics. It is a far more stable market, with strong transactions and consistent results.


Capital Budgets & Maintenance Budgets


Many of your customers have capital and service budgets. These are estimated to be used.

A corporation understands that upkeep, remodeling, and expansion are necessary to keep them running and growing; thus, they budget for these. To keep going. Remodel. Also, broaden.


And it's not rare to see these people rushing about at the end of the year, wanting to spend their cash, and you should be more than delighted to take some of it. It's a use it or loses it situation. They are obligated to spend it!


Commercial clients have various criteria for determining a good customer experience and a quality job. The end product's quality is not evaluated in the same way as a living room.


This is not to argue that the standard is significantly lower. I believe the applications are distinct. Commercial projects are frequently located in high usage locations where durability may take precedence over aesthetics. Service may take priority overlooks.


High End


But don't tell me that commercial painters aren't great painters. I like it when painters brag about being "High End." I believe that high-end is more for them than for the buyer.


Is the procedure of painting drywall and doors in an office any different from a home? Calling yourself the “High End" is, in my opinion, entirely pointless for the majority of people.

We wouldn't have Chevrolet if all had to be "High End." We have to provide just a little more than the customer expected, regardless of the surface or who the customer is.


And I would argue that the commercial client is simply expecting better customer experience than most home clients. They want the service they expected while coping with the public, employees, employers, and grumpy subordinates who are irritated and suffer headaches from the odor of whatever you are applying to the walls.


If you can do facility or property managers appear good with little or no backlash and a speedy turnaround at a reasonable price, trust me when I say they won't be getting three bids for their next job.


You've just made it easier for the facility management to decide that you're the ideal pick for painters. These people do not want to go out and solicit multiple quotes every time they require a service. They want to contact a trustworthy contractor. Be that contractor.


Frequent & Long-Term Customers


Another advantage is a repeat customer. A satisfied residential customer who has had their entire interior or exterior painted will not call you again for several years. On an exterior, there could be as many as eight.


So, you did an excellent job. Everything went perfectly. And you won't hear from them again for another eight years? Bummer. A property manager can bring you big initiatives regularly. It's similar to a fruit tree.


You labor hard to grow and nourish the tree, and once it bears fruit, it bears fruit again and again and again. It takes a long time to start producing fruit, but it continues to do so once it does.

So, What Are the Challenges?



Commercial buildings will almost certainly wish to see limitations far greater than you were instructed to have in your domestic re-painting company. I've seen everything from 2 million on the low end to 5 million on the high end.


Consult your insurance broker, but these limitations can be easily attained by adding an umbrella to get you to the specified limit. Extra training in equipment such as lifts and product training on epoxies or high-performance coatings may be required.


Safety training and attention will be prioritized, as will better communication and paperwork about the project moving parts.
