When it comes to professional painting services, the difference between commercial and residential projects can be vast. Understanding what sets each one apart is essential for anyone looking to hire a commercial painting company. We only offer commercial services, and our team at AW Painting & General Contractors is well-versed in the differences between commercial and residential painting services. Here are just a few aspects that set us apart – and why it’s essential to work with commercial painting experts (and not residential painters) when you’re remodeling your business.

Scale of Work

Some homes are certainly larger than others, but most residential painting jobs are still relatively small in scope. Commercial projects, on the other hand, often require a much larger scale of work. Businesses can have multiple stories; many rooms or hallways could need to be painted with intricate designs and special finishes; and outdoor spaces may require special treatments too. It takes much more time, resources, and personnel to complete a commercial project than it does a residential one. That’s why you should always choose a professional commercial painting contractor with experience in commercial projects when tackling large-scale work.

Safety Regulations & Standards

Even when working with professionals, residential painting jobs may have different safety regulations and standards than commercial work. Residential jobs may require basic safety protocols, such as having proper ventilation or wearing a face mask. Commercial painting jobs, however, often require additional measures to guarantee the safety of workers and customers alike. Examples include anti-slip floor treatments; fire-retardant finishes; paint that’s compliant with VOC standards; and more.

Employees & Customers

A business or other commercial facility has a lot of people coming in and out throughout the day. That’s why it’s important to make sure all painting jobs are completed in a safe and efficient manner so customers don’t have to worry about any potential hazards from paint fumes or hazardous materials. Our commercial painting contractors have years of experience working around customers and employees, and we know how to keep everyone safe. We can also work around a business or commercial facility’s operating schedule, so our services don’t disrupt the normal routine or get in the way of productivity.

Insurance & Licensing

It’s important to make sure any painting contractor you hire has the appropriate licensing and insurance for their job. Generally, both residential and commercial projects require a business license, liability insurance, and workers’ compensation insurance. However, commercial jobs may often require additional specialized permits or coverage, depending on the type of work being done and the customer’s specific needs. AW Painting & General Contractors always have the necessary licenses and insurance to do commercial work.
