Evaluating Painting Contractors for Coquitlam Strata Property Maintenance

Evaluating a painting contractor for strata property maintenance on the Lower Mainland, such as in Coquitlam is slightly different than considering painting contractors for residential projects, although the painting contractor may happily do both. In today’s blog article we want to discuss the considerations when choosing a painting contractor for a strata property.

Due Diligence

A strata council should be doing some due diligence when choosing any kind of contractor. The strata council is going to be spending money that potentially belongs to several different owners of the property, and this may be a commercial building where the paint finish is of utmost importance for those conducting business.

What this means is the strata council should choose a contractor with plenty of experience, experience with the scope of the project—which may be much bigger than a residential home, acquainted with the area, such as Coquitlam, and working on commercial properties.

Equipment and Staff

One question that the strata council will or should ask is if the painting contractor has enough equipment and employees to do the painting project in a timely fashion. Painting one big building or several is different from painting one little house.

Familiarity with the Area

Familiarity with Coquitlam and the Lower Mainland is important, too. For example, paint performs differently in the heat of the city with our damp climate and high winds. What kinds of paint does the contractor like to use for commercial projects?

These are all questions that would be asked of a contractor who is being considered for a commercial or strata project. Painting can be an important part of strata maintenance, so establishing an strong, ongoing relationship with the right contractor can save the strata council lots of money (and headaches) down the line.
