Large commercial buildings are a statement of success for all businesses and corporations alike. But let's be honest; they’re a lot to maintain. That’s why you need trusted professionals who can keep things functioning and looking as they should. Recently, Williams Professional Painting had the privilege of taking on yet another large-scale commercial project and we want to share a little about the process and results

What Makes Commercial Painting Unique?

Like most big commercial paint jobs, this project involved more than just a bucket and brush. Here's a glimpse into what large commercial painting jobs include:

• Preparation and Repair: Large commercial structures are active places and involve a lot of moving parts. This means sooner or later accidents happen and wear and tear begin to show. This job was no exception. Before we were able to roll on that satisfying fresh paint we took the time to carefully repair and prepare any damaged drywall, chipping paint, and rusty iron. This is crucial to a quality finish!
• Diversity of Projects: Commercial painting usually means multiple kinds of painting all going on at once. Being a professional painting company we’re prepared to paint pretty much any surface– from the basement to the roof and anything in between. And on this latest commercial project we did just that (all of it). We took care of the concrete utility areas, hallways, business rooms, and even up to the structural roof beams!
• Large Scale Painting: This was a big job, and large businesses can't afford to have scaffolding and drop cloths around forever. Thankfully Williams Professional Painting is equipped with a stellar team and years of experience. It's only a crew like that who can get jobs done promptly without cutting corners.

Protective Roof Coatings: Why it's Important

One of the most significant aspects of this commercial paint job was the exterior metal roof coating. This is more than just a cosmetic upgrade; it's an investment to prevent costly wear and tear. Here’s why:

• Corrosion Resistance: One of the primary reasons for applying protective coatings to metal roofs and beams is to prevent corrosion, a natural process that deteriorates metal as it reacts with oxygen and moisture in the environment. Corrosion can lead to structural weaknesses, leaks, and eventual failures, posing safety risks and necessitating costly repairs or replacements.
• Enhanced Durability: Protective coatings also contribute to the enhanced durability of metal structures by providing a hard, abrasion-resistant surface. This resistance is particularly beneficial for roofs and beams exposed to harsh weather conditions, mechanical wear, and frequent maintenance activities. By mitigating surface damage, these coatings help maintain the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of the metal, preventing premature wear and tear.
• Energy Efficiency: In addition to protective functions, certain coatings can improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Reflective paint coatings are designed to reflect ultraviolet and infrared rays from the sun, reducing the heat absorbed by metal roofs. This reflection helps maintain cooler interior temperatures, reducing the need for air conditioning and thereby lowering energy costs.
