Four Colors To Avoid on your Commercial Exterior

All business owners know that appearances are incredibly important when it comes to the success of your company. Here at Pro 1 Painters, our commercial painters know that using the best exterior paint is crucial to achieving the look you desire. It is important to note, however, that the paint color also plays an extremely important role. Today we will discuss four paint colors to absolutely avoid when it comes to the exterior of your business. These colors have tested poorly time and time again, so when the time comes for a new coat of paint, remember this!

How to Choose the Best Exterior Paint

Exterior painting

If you are struggling to choose the best paint for the outside of your business, our professional painters are always willing to offer an opinion! Some colors work better than others for your commercial space. Here are the four colors you should avoid:

#1 – Yellow

It has been discovered that many people don’t like the color yellow. So, if you’re trying to entice new customers to visit your commercial space, yellow may turn them away! While yellow can be used nicely as an accent color inside your space, on the outside it should be avoided. If there is yellow in your logo, limit the outdoor use to your signage.

#2 – Black

Black can be expertly used in a modern setting, but it should not be overdone. A nice black and white combination can give a sharp look to your business; however, the white should be accentuated. Not only is white fresh and inviting, but it is also easy to keep it looking sharp with regular pressure-washing.

#3 – Red

Red is a color that can cause stress and anger. It also can be harsh on the eye. Any shades of red or pink should be altogether avoided, as they are not sophisticated and most likely won’t invite new customers to your business.

#4 – Green

Light green can be used to create a calm, welcoming environment, but other shades of green should be avoided. Olive green and lime green are not pleasant to look at and would not invite new customers. If you are using light green, be sure to accent it with a nice contrast like a navy blue or a crisp white.

Trust Our Exterior Painters

So what do we recommend? Grays, whites and creams, and blues all create excellent backgrounds for a variety of logos. They will make your business look sophisticated and polished. This could definitely have a positive effect on your profits.

Whatever color you decide, our experts will refresh and transform your commercial space. When you hire Pro 1 Painters, you are hiring professionals with the highest standards for quality. Before any painting project, we will listen to exactly what you are looking for. We will make note of your budget as well as when you would like the project completed. It is our goal to consistently complete our projects on time and under budget.

This is my second time using Pro 1 Painters. So, yes, they are good. This is the second room I've had the popcorn ceiling scraped and painted and walls painted. There is no way around it, scraping a popcorn ceiling is a messy job but they kept it contained. This time my first contact was with Marissa, the production coordinator. She was very... pleasant. helpful, and professional. Her voice sounds like a smile. Seab came out to see what needed to be done. He was very friendly and professional. He did all the measurements and listened to what I had in mind and made suggestions where necessary. He got the estimate to me promptly. Jaime and Ruben scraped the ceiling and painted. They are real pros. I can't believe how smooth they got the ceiling. It's beautiful. This is an old Fairhope house, so after the ceiling dried, even though they had done two coats, yellow came through in some places. So I called Marissa and in a matter of a few days, Jaime and Ruben came back and painted it with Kilz and repainted. Jaime and Ruben were great .... good at their job, worked hard, very pleasant, no swearing and no smoking.I thought the price was very reasonable, not cheap, but for what I got very reasonable. It's the old adage, you get what you pay for.In a few months I hope to tackle more rooms and I'll be calling Pro 1 Painters.Judith Robertsread more

Pro 1 Painters did an excellent job on doing interior and exterior painting on the Fort Morgan beach house. I had the exterior trim and interior touch up along with having the porch floors finished with a coating. Pro 1 was able to adjust their schedule to our needs since we also had a couple of exterior doors replaced and the recent storms we... had put my schedule for repairs behind in getting the doors hung. Pro 1 was able to return and finish up painting the doors once they were hung.My only complaints were a cut in the screen enclosing the back porch. Probably cut when the crew was finishing the back porch floor. Easily repaired but it was left unfixed. There also were some splatter marks on the exterior which was minor but touch up could have been done. I recently had the landscaping renewed and the crew did not take any due care to protect the landscaping.Overall, a happy customer and the complaints are easily taken care of. I do endorse Pro 1 Painters for your next painting project.read more

Ours was a particularly hard job, 1000 sf great room with 20' ceiling, lots of trim, doors, windows, etc; and lots of issues, like sheetrock cracks, backed out nail heads, etc. The Pro1 crew tackled the job like champs, keeping the mess to minimum, using the best paint products, making great sheetrock repairs, and applying the paint in crisp lines... with little to no slosh over. We are very pleased with the final job and the Pro1 personnel, especially Jamie, the job manager, and his crews. All the Pro1 staff (beginning/end) acted in a professional and courteous manor. We would be pleased recommend Pro1 to anyone.read more

I will use them for... interior painting next.read more

We were able to schedule the work the same week I called. The team did a wonderful job of correcting a very rough concrete finish. They have a good color selection for the finish they applied to our sunroom and patio floors. The men performed the work in a very timely manner, and the result is beautiful. We highly recommend Pro 1 Painters for a... guaranteed beautiful floor finish that will hold up for many years and be comfortable underfoot.read more
