Commercial Painting in the Bay Area: Picking the Perfect Colors for Your Property

 Commercial Painting in the Bay Area:  Picking the Perfect Colors for Your Property

Think bigger than maintenance. Is it time to reimagine your property?

Painting your commercial property is an essential part of your maintenance strategy, but it can go so much deeper than that. The right colors add marketability, clear branding, value, and curb appeal. Don’t miss out on a key opportunity!

#1: Consider Your Customers

The nature and function of your property, along with your target customer, should all be factored into your color choices. Different colors resonate with people in different ways, and you’ll want to leverage that power to your advantage. For example, some may be inspired by bolder colors and accents, while there are others who would appreciate a more calming, neutral palette.

#2: Draw Attention To Signage and Branding

Carefully chosen colors can highlight certain attributes of your property and minimize others. Choose wisely, reinforcing your brand and signage while also drawing attention to any unique aspects of your building or architecture.

#3: Consider Color Psychology

Your palette can be used to evoke different emotions and levels of energy. Think through the mood you want to create, and make sure your colors support your goals. As an example, a professional office space might not be the right place for vibrant reds and oranges, making a calmer blue or neutrals a better choice. If you are painting a fitness center, on the other hand, you might want those more energetic tones.

#4: Don’t Just Play It Safe with Neutrals

Neutral colors are easy to pick, look nice, and age well, but they aren’t interesting or inviting. We recommend thinking outside the box, making your space memorable. Whether you own a restaurant or an apartment building, you should tell a consistent story with your colors that creates an appealing ambiance and reinforces your brand.

#5: Consider the Age and Style of Your Property

Certain architectural styles call for specific colors and design, making it easier to narrow down your options. You may also want (and need) to stay consistent with neighboring properties. If that’s the case, we recommend looking for ways to add your own twist to the style, maybe with a unique accent color or a bolder play on a traditional palette.

Do Colors Have You Stumped? Ask About a Professional Color Consultation

Especially when you’re considering a large-scale repaint, it can be helpful to talk to a color professional. They may open your eyes to options and ideas you never would’ve considered, helping you zero in on a perfect solution.

Customer Reviews

“M.B. Jessee painted the exterior of my Spanish house over 9 years ago, and they did such an incredible job that they are still getting referrals from me today. The paint is holding up perfectly -- there is absolutely no peeling chipping or any other deterioration. I still remember that my final walk-through list consisted of items written on one side of a 3x5 index card (and I'm REAL picky about my house!) However, when Matt and I did that walk-through over HALF the items were no longer an issue, as his team had noticed them first and they had already been resolved.”

— JoAnn Newcomb

“The finish on my kitchen cabinets had failed, becoming tacky and grimy around the handles. M B Jessee gave me a reasonable quote, far below some others, and did an outstanding job, striping the original varnish and refinishing with a new lacquer finish. The cabinets look like new. Work was done 1 day faster than estimated. The crew was extremely hard-working, considerate, and neat. Highly recommend M B Jessee.”

“Today I received a beautiful bouquet from your company. It was totally unexpected and very much appreciated--a lovely surprise. Also today, your crew finished my job. I am so pleased with all their fine work. Richard is absolutely amazing and a total delight to work with. He was also extremely helpful during the paint color process. The interior work in my home far exceeded my expectations. A big thank you to you and the crew for an outstanding job. Thank you, thank you for a terrific job!”

“I highly recommend MB Jesse Painting to anyone looking for a professional team that does an impressive job. They are on time, efficient and clean up well each and every day they are on site. They pay attention to detail and listen to the needs of their clients. In addition, they give back to the community. A Five Star team all the way around.”

— Erin Troy

“I had my wooden kitchen cabinets painted white. Anabal and Danielle were doing the job. I have nothing but praise for them. They came on time, cleaned up every day, were respective, friendly and helpful. If the rest of Jessee's crew are as great as Anabal and Danielle, this company will go far.”

— Anni S.

“The people at M.B. Jessee are great – from the painters to the office staff to Matt. Talk about leadership from the top.”

— Kevin Ames, Mark Becker Homes

“Just wanted to let you know that the crew was great to have around the house for the past two weeks. All three of them were professional, courteous, and attentive to my thoughts/concerns and were extremely knowledgeable. They paid great attention to the detail and it shows.”

— Mark & Roberta Gross

“MB Jessee painters are stellar! As a designer I've worked with numerous companies over the years, and MB Jessee is a top-notch firm. From the first phone call to the final clean up, every person is courteous, professional, and hard working. The owner, Matt, is a charitable leader who has instilled his team with integrity and honesty providing the customer with a first class experience at a fair price with a paint job that is guaranteed to last. I highly recommend MB Jessee. Thank you Matt and your STAR crew-Daniel, Rigoberto, Vicente, Edy, Pedro, and Mario, for a job well executed! Cynthia Brian, ASID, Starstyle® Productions, llc”

“Just had MB Jessee paint the interior of our house and they did a wonderful job. They tackled some crazy wallpaper as well as painted some very high ceilings and walls. The whole process was quick and they did a great job! We are very pleased. I was also very impressed by the crew. They were very personable, kind and actually took pride in the work they were doing. In one of our conversations with the lead Ricardo, he actually told me he was very proud of how the rooms had turned out. I agree sir! It turned out great and it's not often you hear someone thinking of your home like they would theirs, and putting that level of work and quality into it. That made a huge difference in how I viewed this company. Ricardo, you were fantastic and thank you for the great job, we will be using you again.”

— Jeff M.

“Richard and crew have been great, for sure. As much as I look forward to having the job done and my house back in order, I really enjoyed having them around. You should feel really good about how they represent your company.”

— Jessica Dodson

“It was a great experience working with MB Jessee. The crew was careful and thorough as they painted the house, sealed stucco cracks, repaired dry-rotted wood, stained the deck, etc. Robert, Gersson, Jose, and all of the people involved in the process from the estimate to the job completion were friendly and professional.”

— Mike C.

“Matt, Julie & Ricardo, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the three of you for the wonderful job you did in hosting the SFBA NARI Chapter Meeting on Wednesday evening. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Members and guests alike walked away with a truly positive experience. The "painter for a day" and the cookies in the paint cans were an absolute brilliant touch and received rave reviews. What a wonderful way to do such positive marketing. Thanks again for a truly memorable experience for our members and guests. You are valued as a NARI member.”

— Judy Tufo, SFBA NARI Executive Director
