Your company’s building appearance helps potential clients form their initial impressions of you. If the commercial painting on the exterior is worn or ugly, it can easily cost you a customer. Here are the signs that indicate your building needs to be repainted, so you can maintain the exterior as best as possible.

How to Know If You Need Commercial Painting Services

1. Faded Color

A dull hue isn’t only a cosmetic issue, as paint also acts as a protective barrier. Fading indicates that the paint is no longer protecting your building from the elements, like heavy rainfall and intense sunlight. If your structure is exposed, it’ll deteriorate quickly.

2. Peeling Paint

Exposure to UV rays, moisture, dirt, and other contaminants will wear the paint over time. Eventually, the paint will start to fall off of the exterior. To prevent peeling paint from worsening, schedule commercial painting and apply a new coat.

3. Visible Mold or Mildew

If there’s too much moisture on your building’s exterior, it’ll encourage mold and mildew growth. If you don’t remove the substances and repaint the surface, they’ll spread and weaken the building’s integrity. If mold and mildew penetrate the indoors, they’ll expose your team and customers to irritated eyes, sore throats, and respiratory issues.

4. Dirty Surface

Clean your building’s exterior regularly to remove dirt, dust, and grime that accumulate. Although using a pressure washer is effective, the high-powered cleaner can also embed contaminants into the paint. When this happens, the only way to remove grime and boost your curb appeal is by removing the existing coat and adding a new layer.
