As an owner of a commercial property, keeping your building’s paint properly maintained is very important. Without proper maintenance, paint can start to peel away, leaving the wood bare and susceptible to rain, weather, and insect damage. This can cause the wood to rot and, in turn, endanger the structural integrity of your building. Your building will no longer be safe for you, your employees, or your customers, and that's extremely bad for business. The constant seasonal change of temperature and moisture build-up, especially in spring and summer, also creates a conducive recipe for mold. Mold and mildew will slowly eat away your wood and could cause stairways, beams, and building structure to collapse. Keeping the structural integrity of your commercial building is vital for your business. How Often Should Your Buildings' Paint Be Maintained? Your...

The roof of your commercial building is just as important as the foundation.

Drones, defined as "unmanned aircraft or ship guided by remote control or onboard computers," are becoming more than just high-tech toys.

The Current State of Painting Drones Disney Research has developed the PaintCopter , a painting drone that uses 3D mapping to accurately apply paint. Apellix's Worker Bee is a similar project, an autonomous painting and cleaning drone born out of a homeowner's frustration with the difficulties of painting his house. Both the Worker Bee and the PaintCopter are still in development. The drones currently on the market are used for surveying sites before and...

One of the biggest painting projects that should be tackled routinely is warehouse painting . Many may find this to be an unnecessary job, as these buildings are not highlighting quality décor and are often storing unsightly heavy equipment and machines. However, these ceilings should be painted for structure preservation and lighting. Warehouse Ceilings Should Be Painted The ceiling of the warehouse is a critical part of the structure. The paint on the ceiling acts as a seal, preventing the interior of the warehouse from environmental damages. For example, warehouses that reach high temperatures from equipment and machines should paint their ceiling to protect it from the heat. Warehouse ceilings are usually several feet higher than the average ceiling, making them prone to take the biggest effect from the heat as it rises. Lighting is also...
