Interior Office Painting Cost
The cost of hiring a commercial painter or painting contractor for your commercial building depends on a variety of factors. First, you have to take into account the size of the project, as this will determine the amount of paint needed, the number of painters and the amount of time the job will take. Painting interior surfaces of even one small room on your property can take a good amount of primer and paint. In order to determine the amount of paint and primer you may need, use a paint calculator.
Once you know the amount of paint and primer that you need for your commercial interior paint job, you have to decide the kind of paint to use for the room(s) you want to update. At the higher end, paint can cost between $30 to $60 per gallon (many industrial coatings look best with higher quality paint). Primer, on the other hand, comes to about $7 to $15 a gallon. The quality of both priming and finishing paint is critical to consider, as there’s nothing worse than needing to repaint because of a cheap paint choice. It is essential to budget the highest quality paint possible, as higher quality paint will assuredly look better and last much longer. It is also important to note that if you were to DIY your paint job, you would have to pay for painting supplies as well, including and not limited to:
- Brushes
- Tape
- Drop Cloth
- Paint Trays
- Paint Rollers
Hiring a professional commercial painting company for industrial painting services means you do not have to deal with collecting painting supplies or losing access to a room in your home for an extended period of time. When hiring professional painters and professional painting contractors, most of the budget goes towards paint and a professional labor force to get the job done quickly and with a professional finish. Here are some ways a professional can help handle your interior commercial painting project:
- Drywall Repair, Tape & Texture
- Wallpaper Removal and Installation Services
- Warehouse Ceiling Painting
- Epoxy Flooring Systems
- Low-VOC Painting
- Design Services and Paint Color Selection
Painting Labor Costs
Local commercial painters may charge a flat fee for painting work, or they may charge by the hour. When researching commercial painting services, ask commercial painting contractors to include a time estimate in their comprehensive estimate of the total price. A high quality paint contractor will provide a time estimate and stick to it to ensure quality service. Having a comprehensive estimate of all of the costs and how the budget is being employed is vital because it ensures that the commercial painter is not taking advantage of you and is providing the highest quality work for the price.
Exterior Painting Cost
When painting the exterior of your commercial property, you should know that some exterior surfaces cost more to paint because they require specialized equipment and paint. In general, painting commercial exterior surfaces is going to cost more than an interior room, simply because the workspace the paint contractors have to cover is much larger.
In determining your budget, you should look into the proper preparations needed for your specific property. For example, painting a stucco exterior may cost the most amount of money because the prep work needed is extensive and includes cleaning and filling in cracks. The paint options for stucco paint are also limited as some paint will chip or peel depending on the particular climate. Painting stucco is one of the priciest exterior paint jobs.
Here are some areas typically included in an exterior painting service:
- Electrostatic Painting
- Concrete Tilt-up Buildings
- Graffiti Removal & Anti-Graffiti Coatings
- Line Striping and Bin Marking
- Design Services and Paint Color Selection
It is still advised to use high-quality paint on your exterior, as it will have to withstand the elements, and of course, should look good. It is also worth noting that exterior paint should always be done with two coats, so make sure to take into account that the amount of paint you purchase will need to cover the exterior surface twice when budgeting your painting project. Keep in mind that one gallon of paint covers about 400 sq ft, so in order to cover a 2000 sq ft space twice, you will need around 10 gallons of paint.
Now, when budgeting, you may use a lower cost paint, around $30 a gallon, that comes out to about $300 for just paint alone. Make sure to hire a top-rated commercial painting company with top-notch painting professionals, because they will have a verifiable track record with previous clients, and will likely provide the best painting job. At Wright Paint, excellent work is our standard.
