(Newswire.net—July 25, 2013) Wesley Chapel—The differences between commercial and residential painting work is much more than meets the eye. However, although they both apply paint6ing in much the same way, the differences are very distinct. Size for one is a major difference. The amount of space to be painted and the overall project involved is larger. With this size differential comes equipment and labor force to accommodate the scope of the work. Coordination of multiple contractors is also a much bigger undertaking when a commercial job is done. A commercial painting contractor generally has a lot more capacity and employees to facilitate the job. Often times, a residential painter is the only contractor on the premises.
The residential painters will tend to work Monday through Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm while a commercial painter is not afforded that lu7xury since most businesses will now want to suffer interruption during working hours. Commercial painters also offer a wider array of services that involve their projects because of the businesses and corporate image that must be portrayed. Sandblasting and electrostatic painting with epoxy flooring and faux finishes might be called upon by the commercial client.
E&R shared their thoughts about approaching their pricing mechanism for various jobs as well. With square footage as the most easily determined metric, the quotes and proposals are pretty scientific. Many contractors will quote a job differently without measuring. The size of the room space is one approach but the height of the ceilings can also make the difference between being profitable and not.
The other differentiating factor is the liability coverage and inherent risks that come with a commercial job due to the size of the space, magnitude of the work, and time restraints and requirements to completion. Employees that must work in more challenging conditions and circumstances can in and of itself, pose obstacles that can interfere with the results of a good commercial paint job.
