5 Signs That It’s Time To Update Your Commercial Property

 

The exteriors of a commercial building are more likely to degrade and lose their pristine finish as opposed to residential buildings. The common causes for this dirty and worn appearance are location, exposure to city pollution, natural elements like weather, and graffiti. 

A commercial renovation to update your property is advisable when you notice bubbling or flaking around the edges. Additionally, the growth of mildew on the exteriors indicates the need for repainting as a preventive measure. Here are some of the signs signifying that your building is ready for a facelift.

1.     Visible mildew and mould

Pro-longed exposure begins to degrade the paint of your buildings. One of the most prominent signs of this is mildew and mould that begins to grow and spread as an outcome of excess moisture. 

2.               Fading paint

Another sign that indicates the need for a re-paint is fading. If you have used poor techniques or low-quality paint, fading occurs much faster. The cause of fading is UV rays that break down the chemical bonds. Therefore, it is suggested that you choose a paint with added protection for external walls. You can take the assistance of professional painters to select the right paint that provides longer-lasting colour and protection, making your building appear brand new. 

3.               Pressure washing damage

Many commercial buildings undergo pressure washing for maintenance. It is an inexpensive and quick way to keep your walls welcoming and clean. However, in the long run, there’s a downside to pressure washing. 

Water can reach under the walls damaging the plaster, wiring, and insulation. It cannot be removed and will eventually damage the paint and surface. 

4.               Blistering or bubbling paint

When the paint’s adhesion loses from the underlying surface, it leads to blistering or bubbling of the exterior paint. A commercial painter can help you remedy this bubbly texture. 

5.               Rebranding the commercial property

Apart from the other signifiers, you may feel the need to revamp the branding of your premises. Repainting your building helps to attract more walk-ins and better highlight your business and its brand.
