Painting projects can be complex and costly. In recent years, industrial facilities have put aside more space in the budget for maintenance. Yet, facilities managers often hesitate to commit to a large-scale painting project. When they do move forward, they often find the RFP process to be slow and complex. Some vendors overpromise and under-deliver, leading to problems in the future. When the project is done right, it adds a lot of value – but when it’s done wrong, it can hurt your business for a long time to come. After reading this article and applying the insights we teach here, you’ll be able to ensure you do a great job for your company.
We at Preferred, Inc. – Fort Wayne understand that a major industrial painting project can be a daunting task. With that in mind, we’ve developed a step-by-step guide that breaks down every aspect into manageable tasks. We leveraged nearly 40 years of experience in challenging industrial paint projects to develop every portion of this guide. The material covered has been informed by feedback from hundreds of satisfied clients.
Getting the return you expect on your painting project requires clarity of your goals from start to finish. Yet, until now, there’s been no comprehensive resource to make this possible. Industrial painting is a crowded industry, and not every contractor will be right for you. We believe that every client should have the opportunity to make an informed decision. We are confident that, with the help of our guide and the included resources, you’ll be equipped for lasting success on your painting project, even if you have never needed one before.
