A new exterior paint job can offer long-lasting benefits for your business. However, if there’s already a coat—or multiple—on the surface, professional paint removal may be required prior to the application. Here's what you should know about whether this service is necessary for your building. 

How to Tell if You Need Paint Removal

A clean, flat surface is necessary to achieve a high-quality paint finish. Removal processes like dry ice blasting can quickly make the wall level and smooth, a necessary step if the base layer is chipped or peeling as a result of age or exposure to the elements. The treatment can also rectify poor paint jobs from the past by stripping away the previous layers. 

Paint removal is also useful if the old solution contains unwanted chemicals. For example, lead was once a common ingredient in paint. However, exposure to the chemical can cause lead poisoning, resulting in several physical and mental ailments. As such, removing paint containing such elements can keep employees and customers safe and help you remain in compliance with building codes.

How a Fresh Coat Benefits Your Business

The outside of your building is one of the first features a person will see when walking by or entering your establishment. As such, new paint can revitalize your business by instantly improving the appearance of the exterior and even modernizing the look of an old building. This refreshed look can attract the attention of passersby and impress any clients visiting your location. 

A fresh coat of paint also provides an opportunity to build brand recognition. Simply mimicking the company's colors or logo on the exterior can increase consumer awareness of your business.
