Commercial Painting Projects Need A True Painting Expert

Commercial Painting Projects Need A True Painting Expert

www.mastersprofessionalpainting.com | (740) 756-7800

Columbus commercial painting projects need additional skills than other painting projects. The structures and equipment require special cleaning, preparatory and coating materials. This is especially true since industrial equipment is often exposed to a variety of corrosive elements, both natural and manmade. Contractors need to have the knowledge to pair the right coating with the job, to ensure the longevity and protection of the finished product.
As with all projects, the devil is in the details. Proper planning helps provide good outcomes – meaning no detail is too small or can be overlooked. For instance, a silo used for food storage presents its own set of challenges. The interior walls need to be thoroughly cleaned with a cleaner that is safe to use around food products. All residue has to be completely eliminated before any coatings can be applied. The coatings also have to be approved for food storage and contain no harmful elements.
Interference with day to day business also has to be kept to a minimum. It’s rare that a company will completely close to have painting done. At Celtic, we work closely with management to make sure project impact on daily business is as low as possible. Here again, this means careful planning. We know where – and how – to protect areas outside of the immediate project.
For example, imagine there’s a pump room that needs recoating. The equipment is showing signs of rust, huge areas of old paint have flaked off and the floor is grimy with oils and dirt. Prep work, including sealing off the room from other busy areas, starts the job off. Stripping away years of grit, oils and paint keeps the job moving. Depending on the type of material being painted, primers, sealers or inhibitors are applied to lengthen the life of the finishes. The walls are where the painting process begins, followed by the equipment and the floor finishes off the project.
Masters Professional Painting has the knowledge, experience and training to consistently get your Columbus commercial projects done correctly the first time. Call us at (740) 756-7800 to get your industrial painting started today.

Epoxy Flooring Is A Solution For High Traffic Areas

Epoxy Flooring Is A Solution For High Traffic Areas

www.mastersprofessionalpainting.com | (740) 756-7800

Areas that see high traffic can be particularly brutal for floors. This could be somewhere such as a busy hospital that might see thousands of feet traverse its hallways each day or an industrial plant that must endure the added burden of forklifts and pallet jacks as well as numerous footsteps. Following some basic floor maintenance strategies can help your floor last longer while still looking fantastic.
1. Clean Frequently
At least daily, sweep the floor to remove dirt and debris. You should also follow this step if you are going to be mopping. Be sure to spot clean as soon as possible after a spill. Choose a cleanser based on the type of material that your commercial floor is made from. Otherwise, you could strip the shine from it, leaving it dull and dingy looking.
2. Cover It Up
In order to protect your floor in high traffic areas — or if you notice that particular part of the floor is becoming quite worn — consider adding some type of material to cover it. Carpet runners or rubber mats can provide some protection in this case. Using these, however, will increase your maintenance time and costs. In addition, because they are covering high traffic areas, you will likely need to replace them often.
3. Have Epoxy Applied
By far the easiest and most effective way to maintain your high traffic area is to have epoxy professionally applied by Masters Professional Painting. Durable enough to withstand anything that your commercial space can throw at it, epoxy floors are also affordable and resistant to chemicals, spills and stains. Because commercial businesses are all different, adding epoxy allows your flooring to be customized to meet your needs. Anti-skid line striping, as well as color coating help designate safe and hazardous areas, for example. In addition to making your floor stronger and easier to maintain, epoxy gives it a pleasant and shiny surface that looks as good as it lasts.

6 Reasons To Hire Masters Rather Than DIY

6 Reasons To Hire Masters Rather Than DIY

www.mastersprofessionalpainting.com | (740) 756-7800 | (386) 562-2605

Do it yourself is great! You get to be creative, try new things and hopefully save money. But when is DIY a bad idea? When should you seek professional help instead of trying to do it yourself?
Here are 6 reasons you should hire a Columbus commercial painting company instead of trying to complete a project by yourself.
SAFETY
If you hire a commercial painter you can rest easy that your cousin Bob wouldn’t fall off a ladder and come to you with his hospital bill. Professional painters are experienced and trained on how to safely plan and execute a paint job. The Pros have systems and protocols that a novice painter will not have.
TRUSTWORTHY
Whether it’s your home or office you can rest easy knowing Texas Professional Painters are indeed professional. You can trust our team to take care of your home or business. Don’t put yourself at risk of being a cautionary tale, hiring from sketchy online sites and inviting strangers into your home or business with no known association with any professional organization just to save a few bucks. Hire a company you can trust.
QUALITY
Don’t worry about bad surprises when you hire a commercial painter. You can expect a beautifully done, professional job. Not just attractive to the eye but properly prepared, painted and finished with long term quality in mind. Hiring a professional will give you peace of mind that the job will be done right. No streaks, random uneven areas or roller marks. They know what they are doing!
MONEY
Often people decide to do their own painting in hopes of saving money but how much money does it really save you? When you hire a professional you aren’t investing in painting materials you’ll never use again, for example, painter’s tape, drop cloths, buckets, brushes, paint rollers, and refills, paint trays, paint buckets. Nor do you have to worry about renting and transporting larger supplies you may need.
Most professional companies offer a written estimate for the work you want to be done so their won’t be any of the guesswork in figuring out how much the job might cost. Also, work done correctly will last longer. An armature job may need to be redone sooner than a professionally done one. Let’s be honest, don’t forget the money you’ll save buying pizza and beer for your buddies if they offer to help.
TIME
What is your time worth? Even if you discover that it is cheaper for your to buy paint and supplies then to hire a professional, are you including the value of your own time? What could you do in the number of hours you spend on the job that would take our team of painters less time to do? Why book your calendar for days of painting when you could let us do the heavy lifting for you?
INSURED
If something goes wrong with your paint job you can find comfort in the fact that the painting company is insured to make it right. Their insurance should be able to provide your property with protection from anything that happens to it during the painting process. Do not hire a company that is not licensed and insured!
If you are looking for a Columbus painting company for your interior, exterior, commercial or residential space, give us a call to setup your free onsite estimate and see how we can get you started today.

Epoxy Flooring Options From Masters Professional Painting

Epoxy Flooring Options From Masters Professional Painting

www.mastersprofessionalpainting.com | (740) 756-7800

In contrast with more conventional flooring options such as tile or concrete, the epoxy flooring options offered by Masters Professional Painting are chemically engineered to offer a wide array of advantages, including being fluid-applied for a nearly seamless, monolithic surface. Some advantages of this include:
-Hygiene. Self-adhesive tile or tile and grout floors are inherently comprised of a network of seams in the floor surface that can trap dirt, grime, spills, and microbes. Luxury vinyl plank or sheet flooring relies on heat-welded seams that are prone to cracking; the breached surface is one more place for bacteria to build up and proliferate. In contrast, fluid-applied flooring systems virtually eliminate these seams, making it easier to disinfect the space and maintain a more sanitary environment. Some epoxy and resinous finishes can also be formulated with antimicrobial agents that inhibit the growth of microbes throughout the depth of the flooring.
-Durability. In heavy traffic, the edges of individual floor tiles can present weak spots prone to fracturing or crumbling. Seamless epoxy flooring systems avoid having weak spots that are prone to fracturing and crumbling, as is common in tile floors. Resinous finishes may be installed at different thicknesses and can incorporate strengthening elements, such as special powders, aggregates and other additives, that furnish superior resistance to abrasion or puncture damage and outstanding compressive strength for heavy loads.
-More cost effective. Epoxy floors can be installed to yield similar visual and functional characteristics as granite, terrazzo, stained concrete, and other designer options for just a fraction of the cost. Additionally, resinous floor surface eliminate the need special upkeep, with no need to wax, buff, or regularly treat the flooring system once installed. Heightened durability means less frequent replacement and repair costs, and at the end of its long usable life, the old resinous flooring system need not be removed. It can be simply recoated with another decorative epoxy system or serve as the substrate for the next choice in floor covering. This can great lower replacement time and disposal costs.
-Better for the environment. In addition to reducing the waste associated with floor replacements, many epoxy floor coatings and similar resinous finishes can be made in part with recycled materials. They can also protect the environment surrounding the facility. Auto shops, industrial plants, and other facilities make use of dangerous chemicals and toxins that must be disposed of carefully. In the event of a spill, without the proper floor coating, the porous surface of the bare concrete slab would absorb the substance, allowing it to accumulate and eventually seep out into the surrounding soil and water. The same can happen with flooring systems possessing cracks or grout lines that provide an entry point for dangerous chemicals to enter into and leach through the slab. A properly selected and installed seamless epoxy floor minimizes this risk with its impermeable, nonporous surface that isolates toxins on the surface, allowing them to be properly cleaned up and disposed of.

Misconceptions About Epoxy Flooring For Columbus Businesses

Misconceptions About Epoxy Flooring For Columbus Businesses

www.mastersprofessionalpainting.com | (740) 756-7800

Columbus, Ohio epoxy floor coatings are an incredibly strong, durable and long-lasting flooring solution used by a wide range of businesses and facilities in Columbus, Ohio. The versatility of epoxy floor coatings and their infinite designs make them the top flooring solution for both industrial and commercial spaces. They are commonly used in retail stores, automotive showrooms, industrial warehouses, and restaurants and can be applied to both existing and new concrete floors.
Let’s take a look at some of the common misconceptions surrounding epoxy floor coatings:
Misconception #1: Epoxy Floor Coatings Have to be Reapplied Every Few Years
A professionally installed epoxy floor in Columbus, Ohio is incredibly durable and will last for many, many years. Epoxy floor coatings from Masters Professional Painting are very strong and can withstand heavy foot and vehicular traffic and resist wear and tear from heavy machinery and equipment.
Misconception #2: Epoxy Floor Coatings Are Expensive
While getting a professional epoxy floor coating for your Columbus, Ohio business may seem expensive, it’s a cost-effective and long-lasting option. If you opt for a cheaper concrete coating or choose to install epoxy on your own, you will end up paying more money in repairs and maintenance in the long run. Epoxy floors also save you money because they require very little maintenance. They are resistant to abrasions and chemical spills, and you can simply use a mop to wipe up any that falls on the floor. An epoxy floor is definitely worth it.
Misconception #3: Paint Is Just as Good as an Epoxy Floor Coating
While epoxy can resemble paint before it’s applied, they are two very different substances. A coat of paint will not protect your concrete floor from residue or chemical stains, nor will it resist wear and tear. Unlike paint, epoxy bonds with the concrete surface to create a seamless, durable resin coating that will protect your concrete floor from damage

Columbus Commercial Painting Ideas For Your Business

Columbus Commercial Painting Ideas For Your Business

www.mastersprofessionalpainting.com | (740) 756-7800

3 Reasons to Consider Commercial Painting in Columbus
If you are a business owner in Columbus, you may want to consider having the interior or exterior of your building painted. Painting your commercial establishment has a number of benefits. Let’s go over the three best reasons you should consider hiring a commercial painting company, like Masters Professional Painting.
Reason #1
First impressions mean everything. Recently, I was watching a TV show where a couple wouldn’t hire a certain lawyer. Their reason? He looked like the type of lawyer a guilty person would hire. It had nothing to do with his skills as a lawyer or even his track record in court; it was all about appearances!
A fresh coat of paint can go a long way in freshening your business’s appearance. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lawyer or a mechanic or a hair stylist or any other business out there – if your establishment looks run down, people will automatically assume that your products or services aren’t very good.
A well-groomed building also means you can charge more. When your office looks nice, it automatically attracts the kind of customer or client willing and able to spend more money with your company. So, if you’re itching for bigger contracts or more product sales, you need to consider painting your space.
Reason #2
Employees like to work in a comfortable environment. A run-down work space means employees will be less productive, less helpful to customers, and less likely to stick around. If your employees don’t feel satisfied in their work space, you’ll be constantly hiring new people. A high turn-over rate means more time and money spent on interviewing and training, which means less money to grow your business.
Even if your employees are content to work in a less-than-ideal environment, getting a fresh coat of paint will show them that you actually care about their comfort and attitude. So, new paint isn’t just about making a good impression on clients!
Reason #3
Lastly, paint is a really powerful, relatively inexpensive tool for branding. Color is memorable, so choosing a bright color that stands out in a sea of grey and beige office buildings can help people remember you. However, just as importantly, you need to think about what certain colors say about you. Let’s say you have the option of hiring one of two lawn care companies, almost identical in price, experience, and quality. If one has an office building that is freshly painted in green and white, while the other is a drab building with chipping black paint, which one would you hire? What about an accountant? Would you rather hire one in a purple polka dot office or one in a classic navy office? What about a party store that’s painted brown or a dental office that’s painted red – how do you feel about those businesses?
There are not necessarily right or wrong answers to these questions. The point is that you need to think about what your paint color says about you. Most of the time, what’s on your exterior and interior walls doesn’t really reflect your business. So take a moment to think about the first impression you want people to have and how you can use a little paint to help you achieve your business goals. The experts at Masters Professional Painting have had many years of experience in commercial painting and can guide you through the process of choosing the best colors and use of paint to enhance the image of your business.

Parking Garages and Decks
Columbus, Ohio parking garages and decks are essential for building construction and urban planning, and they need to be protected from damage from water, sunlight, weather and de-icing salt.

Epoxy flooring is also slip-resistant, which will prevent people from slipping and falling in the event of rainy weather.
Warehouses and Factories

Should you spill something on the floor, it can simply be wiped up with a mop and soap and water.
