What Are The 5 Main Qualities To Look for In A Commercial Decorating Service?

Choosing the right professional painting and decorating service provider matters to the overall quality of a construction project.

Working with an experienced contractor can help make project completion smoother, while ensuring compliance and helping build a solid reputation as a developer.

In this article, we’ll look at the most important qualities to look for when comparing commercial decorating services.

1) High Capacity

Because the needs of commercial projects are complex, you want to make sure the contractor you choose has enough capacity in terms of staff, equipment, and availability for the entire duration of the project. Otherwise, you risk facing delays, which are costly in both financial and reputational terms.

2) Local Operation

Where a contractor is based matters in commercial decorating projects. Firstly, a local service provider is likely to be flexible, provide more or fewer decorators, or be the correct type as your project requires.

Secondly, you will save on travel and fuel expenses, which some contractors add on top of their fees if they have to provide a service outside of their usual area of operation.

Thirdly, they will have good contacts with local suppliers ensuring they avoid delays and save you money.

3) Ample Experience

Always ask for examples of previous work, making sure the contractor has experience in commercial projects of the same scope as yours. Painting and decorating jobs vary in their level of difficulty and complexity and choosing a company without relevant experience could result in a sub-standard job or even in the need to get everything redone.

Also, an experienced contractor will know exactly which equipment and tools they need for each project and will have them handy, avoiding delays and wasted time.

4) Alignment Between Cost And Quality

Prices can vary significantly depending on the scope of each project, but the cheapest quote isn’t always the best option. Sometimes, lower costs can only be offered at the expense of lower quality materials (such as low-grade or basic paint), which could jeopardise the entire project.

Also, estimates should be easy to understand and account for every aspect of the painting and decorating project. Transparency and good communication are strong signs of professionalism. Working with an open and honest company can help you manage your resources better and stay within budget.

5) Commitment To Skills Development

A professional commercial decorating service will take skills development seriously and ensure all their staff are knowledgeable and qualified. Things to look for in this respect include professional accreditations, employer awards, and reviews from previous commercial customers.

While up-to-date industry-specific skills are a must, remember to enquire about whether staff are qualified in health and safety matters too.
