We do a lot of Office Painting in Toronto. In quite a few of our Commercial Painting Toronto projects, we paint at night, after the offices are closed. Sometimes we have the opportunity to paint during the day, when the office staff are at work. One of those projects was with Grasshopper Energy Corporation.
They had just moved in to their new office space in January. Most would agree that it looked rather dull. All the walls, doors, door frames and side-lites were the same colour. Benjamin Moore’s Snowfall White was the choice for the main colour, which was quite the job, as it took three coats to cover, so 18 sidelites became 54. Fun it was, I know, I did them. Sweet Pea was the accent colour, which we colour matched from their Logo. In the end, the painting created the illusion of a larger office space and it was so much brighter. What a pleasure it was to Paint the Offices at Grasshopper Energy Corporation. A lot of times, in the hustle and bustle of today’s business world, you can find noise, chaos, tension, and other discomforts within a busy office environment. Not at Grasshopper you wouldn’t! The staff here were a team, they were like one big happy family. These guys loved going to work…and it seemed like they never wanted to go home….if we were painting late into the evening, they were still there! What a nice Office Painting Project that was. Change your colours, we want to come back!

Commercial Painting Services was asked to paint the office space of a growing company located in North York. This space had to be painted during the weekend and some evenings.
A crew from Ecopainting was assigned to complete the project. The customer was happy with the results and they were very accommodating to the painters and their schedule.
The only initial difficulty was getting a colour to compliment the company colours. Simply picking a colour off company literature or business cards does not translate well to architectural paint. The painters tested different blue colours before proceeding and at the end a visit by the customer to Boyd’s decorating (local dealer) ended up being very helpful. The end result was a very pleasant and cool colour from Benjamin Moore to compliment the main light grey colour.

The importance of preparation work before painting has been universally accepted.
Trade organizations, industry standards, painter contractor’s websites, they all confirm manufacturer’s recommendations that preparing the substrate is of paramount importance.
The Toronto Commercial Painters working for COMPASE will prep surfaces properly.
You can be sure they never painted over skunks before.

Spraying Industrial Ceiling
Trench Limited is a specialized manufacturer of high voltage electrical equipment. In their Scarborough location they were in need of turning some of their storage space into usable office space. The ceiling and part of the walls had to be sprayed. We used the services of Painters for Hire. They are a painting contractor based in the Toronto and GTA area. The walls will be painted an off white colour and the floor will be painted by Ecopainting with Para Paints floor enamel.
Painting any industrial space is usually great value, as the transformation is quick and almost overnight. It is mostly done without any shutdown of the specific area becoming necessary.
Should your facillity require a similar facelift, call COMPASE at 416 479-0131. Their Toronto Painters will be happy discuss your needs.

How much impact can your Toronto Painters have on your business?
Colour is often talked in terms of decorating the interior of homes. In fact, colour is very important to the branding, marketing even the operation of a commercial facility.
In retail of course, colour can affect the behaviour and purchasing decisions of the customer. The following pictures can attest to that

Colour used wisely in office space.
There are many reasons for painting the company offices. Some times the walls look tired and boring. That office gray-beige look, however functional and safe, it is not very inspiring. Another reason for painting the office space is the condition of the walls. They simply need to be maintained and kept-up clean and bright.
So it is time to bring in the painters. Depending on the size of the facility or the condition of the surfaces, re-painting can take 2-3 days or sometimes weeks. There are two approaches to doing the work. Your office painting contractor can do most of the work during after hours or during the weekend. The downside of this is that the whole process can take longer. Also scheduling time with most reputable painters can be difficult, as most people don’t like to work weekends and that includes their painters.
Another alternative is to have most of the work done during the day. However difficult that may seem initially, a good painting contractor can work alongside your staff without much interruption of the company’s work-flow. One benefit is, that work can be completed in a shorter period of time. The other is the staff morale and excitement generated by the whole process. Sharing the space temporarily with painters and watching the work progress is a great water cooler topic. The pink and purple comments overheard endlessly, the novelty of desks and filing cabinets being moved around or the new people in the cafeteria adds to the whole experience.
The new generation low pollution paints available reduces the risk of paint fumes in the workplace.
There are also eco friendly painters specializing in Office Painting and use less toxic paints to make the experience as bearable as possible.
