Stephanie G. Mathis Studies show that people make judgments about businesses in a fraction of a second. A dirty or worn-out hotel or restaurant can make a bad impression on customers and ruin their experience. To attract and keep loyal customers, you need to keep your establishment looking professional, clean, and tidy.
We have experience painting hundreds of hospitality facilities, and we know how to get the job done right and efficiently.
This is a collection of our lessons learned so that painting jobs are easier for everyone.
To Minimize Downtime, Schedule Work
It is expensive to have downtime. A professional commercial painting company can work around your schedule.
You can arrange for a painting crew to come in off-hours to paint restaurants. This could be overnights or early mornings. You may be able to break down the project into several days if it is too large to complete in one day. You can also open an hour later than usual to allow the painting crews to clean up.
You can accommodate guests in hotels or other hospitality establishments while keeping certain parts of your building open. To keep guests from getting into the work area, you can leave it open while you complete the job in stages. If possible, you may want to schedule work in the off-season.
Remember that preparation is key to the quality and efficiency of any work. It takes time to protect and cover furniture, floors, counters, and other items. It takes time to prepare walls by taping, sanding, and priming.
To avoid frustration, let customers and patrons be informed about any upcoming work.
Select High-Quality Products
Use only high-quality paints. Although it may seem tempting to save some money by using lower-quality paints, this will end up costing you more long term. Paints that are cheaper wear quicker and tend to age faster. This can cause a decline in the appearance of your hotel, restaurant, motel, or other hospitality business. You may also have to repaint it more frequently.
High-quality commercial paints are more durable and more resistant than inferior products. It will look fresher and more beautiful for longer. This is particularly important for hospitality businesses where interior surfaces can get more wear.
High-quality products will last longer in Arizona’s intense sun, resist moisture and weather damage, as well as better resist rain, wind, and sandstorms.
Choose Low-VOC Paints
The new paint smell is created by volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Standard paints can emit fumes that last for days or even weeks. Sometimes, the fumes can become almost unbearable. While it may not pose a problem to a building’s exterior or interior, diners don’t want to be exposed when they are eating. Choose low-VOC or zero-VOC paints and finishes if you are in the hospitality industry.
Select The Right Types Of Paints And Colors.
Picking the right color will reflect your company’s personality and set the tone. You will also need the right paint finish. Flat paints, for example, are more susceptible to fingerprints and dirt. Semi-glossy and glossy finishes are easier and more resistant to stains. However, they can also highlight imperfections.
To make informed decisions about colors, work with your commercial paint company. To create a beautiful and appealing appearance, you will likely mix gloss levels and choose an accent and primary colors.
Colors can have an impact on how customers and clients perceive your establishment.
