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

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

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

“Awesome work by highly experienced, professional painters. They were: Conscious about the amount of time it would take. Ours had a lot of pre-work and took 3 weeks. Accommodating when we added a few last-minute changes Understanding when a heatwave hit and we remove some of the plastic sheeting over windows, which they had to put back up the next day. Accessible, especially the on-site crew (Hi Jose & Victor!) -- always answering questions and checking in. The end result is a perfect paint job that makes our 94-year-old house look brand new. I would definitely hire MBJ again”

“MB Jessee just finished our exterior and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The foreman (Pedro) and lead painter (Ricardo) were incredible to work with: they communicated scheduling clearly, Ricardo was a joy to be around every day, the showed up early every day, were incredibly tidy and did great paint work. The final walkthrough experience was incredible. Pedro pointed out items I missed demonstrating a clear desire to complete another quality project. I highly recommend them. As others have noted they definitely aren't the cheapest but you quickly realize that you're getting what you pay for. The 3-year guarantee is also a nice touch since there are likely touch-up items that will show up after the job is done.”

“My entire experience with MB Jesse was very professional. The crew were very friendly and super accommodating of my ridiculous schedule and geriatric pets in the house. The finished product, which was pretty much my entire house, far exceeds my expectations. Would definitely work with them again!”

— Heather Jordan

“I want to express my thanks for a job well done. The rooms look great and there is no problem with any marks on the all the trim, floor, carpet, etc. The paint job is lovely. I also want to express my thanks for the level of professionalism the foreman showed in running the job. He was very attentive to any changes I needed to make, was extremely careful in getting the faux paint color and effect correct. Thanks so much for a job well done.”

— Suzan D’Arcy

“Our paint crew did a great job and the foreman, Gersson was exceptionally great to work with. He was always available to answer questions, good at problem-solving, very patient, kind, and highly professional with great customer service. We definitely recommend this company, and Gersson and his crew.”

“Hello Matt,Just another notice of thanks to your wonderful crew, Rigoberto, Javier and John. They did fantastic work, with Rigo providing meticulous and conscientious attention to the details and excellent woodwork finishing, as evidenced by the beautiful fireplace. Javier did a fantastic job in the bathroom especially, it looks "brand new," and John always does quality work, both with the interior and exterior. I can tell they care about what they do. Rigo's "punch out" was very thorough, too. I will call again when I need some more work and will definitely recommend your company and fine crew. I also felt as a homeowner, I could leave my house in their good hands during the day and that took a lot of worry from me, they were honest, prompt and reliable. They were also very kind, respectful and clean in their work, very professional. Thank you.”

“I loved working with M.B. Jessee from start to finish on a relatively small paint job that grew a bit. I felt in very good hands from the moment Matt Jessee came out to give me the estimate and talk about my job. He was very easy to talk to and he handled my changes very well. Then the actual work done by Rigoberto and Mario was impeccable. They were neat and meticulous and the paint job looks beautiful. I could not have asked for more and when I did, they accommodated me 100%. I will not hesitate to call M.B. Jessee again and to refer them to friends.”

— Nancy Kurkjian

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