Commercial painting
Painting hotels and lodges in Shivpuri: finishes that survive guests and weather
What hospitality buildings need
- Facades that look fresh to arriving guests
- Room walls that can be wiped after every checkout
- Corridors and staircases that take luggage knocks
- Work scheduled in the off-season or room by room
Planning the job
- Paint exteriors between October and March, before the tourist peak if possible.
- Do rooms in batches so the property keeps operating.
- Use one shade palette across rooms so touch-ups are simple.
- Record shade codes for every area.
Maintenance between repaints
Keep a small stock of each shade for touch-ups after guest stays. Clean exterior dust after the dry season. Fix leaks quickly, because a damp patch in a guest room costs more in reviews than in paint.
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Planning commercial painting around business hours
Commercial buildings lose money when they close, so the painting plan should fit the business. Survey the building first and list areas that can be done while open, such as exteriors, back areas and storerooms, and areas that need closing, such as customer floors and rooms. Use water-based, low-smell products indoors, cordon off work zones, and agree working hours with the contractor in writing. Ordering the full quantity in advance, by area and shade code, avoids delays that stretch the disruption.
What a good painting quote should include
- Areas covered, with measurements
- Surface preparation, repairs and waterproofing
- Products, shade codes and number of coats for each area
- Working hours, safety measures and clean-up
- Timeline and payment stages
