FAQ

Commercial and Industrial painting involves painting a building used for commercial or
business purposes, but both the process are done with different goals in mind.

• Commercial painting involves painting of building where clients or customers are present. But in the case of industrial painting, paint is done for machines or
  a building that needs to withstand the harsh conditions of the manufacturing
  environment.
• Commercial painting jobs are conducted using latex-paints, as the latex paint dries out quickly and the building can be used for your business. For industrial painting, the buildings are not used by most of the public but need to withstand the harsh machine conditions. So oil-based paints are used, as they tend to be
  more durable and last longer.
• Commercial Painting offers painting for the building interior and exteriors.
  Industrial painting offers painting for machinery, boats, aircraft, and structures
  such as bridges.

No, the cost to the customer is about the same. However scheduling night work is a little more difficult because it depends on painters’ availability. If the job is smaller than a week long, it might be more expensive. The main reason for that is that a night worker needs to have time off before going back to day shifts. As a result, the painter misses a work day. With a little advanced planning we can work with you to keep the painting cost reasonable.

When painting during business hours becomes too difficult, we work during evenings and weekends. With reasonable notice Efficient Painting can send a trained commercial painting crew to make this happen. Evening work starts at 5 pm and continues until 1 am. We make sure to complete any work we start and clean up for the night. When your staff starts work in the morning the only thing they notice is the freshly painted walls.

We very rarely work during Holidays and there are some good reasons for that. The most important reason is that our painters prefer to have the holidays off. Painting is a tough job physically and mentally and we welcome any opportunity for rest.
Efficient Efficient Painting painters are employees and not sub contractors. As such, they get 1.5 times their pay when they work during public holidays. This makes painting during the holidays more costly for the customer. There have been some exceptions to this when time was of the essence and painters were available to work. A few years ago we were spraying some ceilings downtown and the paint  was taking longer to dry. We ended up working during the holiday to complete the job and clean up the work area.

When the furniture is minimal and light, the painters will move it. When painting an office that is heavily furnished, different arrangements should be made. Painters should be spending the majority of their time painting as they are not very efficient movers. We ask the customer to clear the top of desks and empty any bookcases. The top two drawers of filing cabinets must be empty before painters attempt to move them. This is a common request that moving companies make. Moving loaded furniture is a safety hazard and can cause serious injuries to painters.  

We clean up all the mess we are responsible for. This starts with taking all protective measures to protect customer property. We cover desks, bookcases and filing cabinets with plastic. We move chairs and smaller furniture out of the immediate area. Carpets and floors are protected with clean drop cloths. Vinyl and carpet baseboards are masked and window blinds are moved and covered. After all this, there may still be some dust on the floor especially if we patched walls and repaired drywall. At the end of every work day we vacuum and clean the work area and pick up our garbage.
