Is it painting time already? How can things become so messy in just a year? Well, that’s how the hospitality business is, or is it? Most people ignore one fundamental when hiring someone for their painting project: are they even up for the task?
This may seem irrelevant and pretty childish, but the truth is that you can’t rely on unprofessional labor and demand high-quality, long-lasting results at the same time. Unprofessional laborers are bound to deliver subpar and inconsistent work.
If you’re in the hospitality business, you’d probably agree that the looks of your place are just as important as anything else about it. Normally, you wouldn’t judge a book by its cover but for a hotel, people will base their decisions more or less on the visuals.
You don’t want scraped-off paint, or uneven coats, or the constant nuisance of unskilled painters – you want results that inspire and last, without all the hassle. This article will sum up why you should look for professional painters when handling your hotel’s painting project.
Are Professional Painters Expensive To Hire?
Before we move on and discuss professional hotel painting and why only commercial painting services can offer adequate results for your place, let’s get one thing out of our systems: the cost. The only argument that people have managed to muster up for their defense of hiring unskilled workers is that they cost less.
We won’t lie to you. If you take a couple of quotes from painting professionals for hotel projects, you’ll see that unskilled workers do indeed demand a slightly smaller sum. However, when judging the cost of a painting project, you need to assess the big picture as well.
Ask yourself this: how long will this painting project last?
Professional painters always assure their clients that when they put a coat of paint on, it is there to stay. If you get a job well done and the paint stays on for longer, don’t you think that you saved up money instead of losing it to constant repainting and getting unsatisfactory results at the same time?
In the long-term, the cost-effectiveness of a professional painting project will make it a much better option in terms of expenditure than the work of an unskilled laborer.
Thus the cost of professional painting services should not deter you, explore your options, get a couple of free quotes and see which company offers the most reliable services for a justifiable sum. Don’t rush it because your hotel’s reputation is at stake here.
Now, let’s explore WHY you need to hire professional painters rather than unskilled workers.
5 Reasons To Hire Professionals For Your Hotel Painting Project
Here’s why you need only professionals to handle your work and no one else:
Neat Finish
As mentioned earlier, a hotel’s reputation is heavily affected by its looks. You should ensure that every inch is flawless in appearance and that there are no imperfections whatsoever. Unskilled workers not only create a mess with every painting project but won’t be able to deliver a smooth finish as well.
The final touch of any painting job should be consistent and neat. Painting professionals ensure this by using sophisticated tools like painter’s tapes and by the virtue of their experience in the field. You can also save yourself from the trouble of cleaning up afterward because they’ll move all the moveable items and cover up those that can’t be moved.
Thus a professional painter will ensure that you get the best possible service, and a neat finish is step one of this goal. Moreover, you’ll save up on repainting costs if your first project worked out satisfactorily. Most people have to hire professionals after they’ve given unskilled workers and their flawed technique a run. You can avoid this waste of money by making an informed decision.
Flexible Schedule
There are no off-hours for hotels. This is one of the biggest challenges to address when going for a painting job. You can’t risk upsetting the serenity of your place by having painters busy at work where guests are supposed to feel at home and have their privacy assured.
However, the areas most frequented by guests are the ones that see the most deterioration, such as hallways. Workers with inflexible schedules won’t do in such cases. Instead, you’ll need professionals willing to exert themselves whenever you feel so.
You decide the schedule and the plan, and professional painters will adhere to it – it is one of their most appealing qualities, and this way, you’ll keep disturbance at a minimum.
Properly Equipped
Another major issue with unskilled workers is that they assume, in their ignorance, that a paintbrush is all that they need to get stuff done. That’s far from the truth. A painter must not only have an assortment of brushes (even the smaller ones for fine finishing) and rollers, but also wear appropriate clothing, and have other pieces of equipment such as painter’s tape, cover sheets, and so on.
You can judge by the look of the people who show up at your hotel’s doorstep, whether they deserve your project or not. If they’re properly equipped, neat and tidy, and well organized, you can rest assured that they’ll do a fine job.
Of course, none of this can be said for unskilled workers.
Knowledgeable About Paint Products
No two paints are the same. You can’t expect a one-fix-for-all when it comes to painting because all paints have unique properties. The interior and exterior of your hotel will undergo a different set of challenges. For instance, your hotel’s interior will not have to face severe UV radiation or rainfall, but the exterior will.
Thus, it makes no sense for you to use only one type of paint to address such a wide range of environmental pressures. You’ll have to go for tough and weather-resistant type paints for your hotel’s exterior and something gentle for the interior.
You also need to consider the color selection because colors have a language of their own, and our minds respond to them involuntarily – you don’t want to send the wrong message.
Professionalism
Lastly, you need professional behavior for your project. Loud noises, unnecessary disturbances, lewd language, and other forms of unprofessionalism have no space in the hospitality business. You can expect professional painters to be at their best behavior throughout the painting project and thus maintain the good name of your hotel.
That’s pretty much it about hiring professionals for your hotel painting project, and hopefully, you’ll give it due consideration.
