Commercial vs. Residential Painting: Key Differences Clients Should Know
While both fall under “painting,” the realities differ, especially for clients:
Scale and access: Commercial projects often involve large surfaces, machinery, or restricted access. Planning for lift equipment, staging, or occupied spaces is essential.
Safety standards: Working around tenants or industrial areas requires strict protocols and prior coordination.
Materials and specs: Commercial jobs often demand high-performance coatings: anti-graffiti, abrasion-resistant, or quick-drying products with clear documentation to meet corporate or regulatory standards.
By contrast, residential painting focuses more on colour appeal, trim detail, and fewer logistical constraints, yet still needs quality for long-term value.
