Painting or re-painting a commercial building is a great way to restore the glory of the building. Unfortunately, large-scale commercial painting exercises are often quite expensive, a factor that discourages a large number of commercial building owners from undertaking much-needed paintwork.

The good news is that commercial painting services do not have to cost you a fortune. There are various innovative ways through which you could bring down the cost of your commercial paint job. Discussed below are a few of these innovative saving techniques.

Hire An Established Painting Contractor Or Company

One of the best ways to save on commercial painting costs is to hire the services of an established and reputable painting company or individual contractor (depending on your preference). It goes without saying that this will cost you more than what you would pay for a little-known and relatively inexperienced painting contractor or company.  However, an established painting contractor or company is bound to enjoy great work-based relationships with suppliers of paint products. They can therefore negotiate for discounted rates on painting supplies on your behalf thereby saving you great sums of money.

In addition to this, established contractors and companies often have the financial capacity to buy paint supplies in bulk. This also qualifies them for great discounts, which easily translates to a cheaper commercial paint job.

Taking your time to identify and hire the right painting contractor or company can save you a significant amount of money.

Undertake Preparations On Your Own

Another practical way to save on the cost of commercial painting is to undertake some of the preparation activities on your own.  A painting contractor or company charges you for more than the actual application of paint on the walls and other surfaces. For example, the contractor will charge you for scrubbing walls and getting rid of old paint from the various surfaces. You can bring down painting costs by preparing surfaces to be painted on your own. This reduces the amount of work involved in the paint job, thereby reducing the cost of labor.

In the same breath, you can save by undertaking to dispose waste from the painting on your own instead of leaving this duty to the company or contractor. This is especially applicable in situations where the waste from the commercial painting exercise is non-hazardous.

Remember the two saving tips discussed above the next time you wish to undertake a commercial painting exercise. For more information, contact a business such as Glendening Painting Services.
