Painting Business
A Smart Investment for Professionals and Facility Owners
Self-storage facility doors often come with durable Silicone Modified Polyester (SMP) coatings, designed to last up to 20 years. However, many owners wait until these coatings visibly degrade—sometimes severely—before addressing maintenance. This reactive approach leads to costly repainting, diminished curb appeal, and, in extreme cases, compromises the integrity of the finish, and possibly the door itself. As a professional paint contractor, you can change this narrative and benefit from the opportunity.
Estimating Material Requirements
Estimating the correct amount of paint for roll door repainting projects is essential for profitability. This guide explains how to calculate the actual surface area, including factors like corrugation and overspray. By following these steps, you can ensure accurate bids, avoid waste, and complete jobs efficiently. A simple paint calculator is also available to streamline your estimation process.
Things to Consider Before You Start Painting
Before starting a painting project, it's crucial to consider factors like worker craftsmanship, environmental conditions, tenant access, and the type of surface being refinished. Use this checklist to avoid common pitfalls that can lead to losing money on a job.
