Q: What is the difference between commercial painting and residential painting?

A: As the names might imply, commercial painting is usually large-scale projects such as commercial buildings, factories, or multi-family residential complexes (like apartment buildings), while residential painting is usually the interior or exterior of single-family homes. These are some of the key differences: 

1. Experience – Due to the large scale of most commercial painting projects, commercial painters gain tons of experience that residential painters might take longer to gain over several smaller projects. While the technique is similar, most residential painters might need extra training to be able to keep up with the larger scale and deadlines of a commercial painting project. 
2. Size – Commercial painting projects are typically much larger than residential projects. A large project like an Amazon Fulfillment Center, for example, would take extensive planning, resources, and manpower!
3. Flexibility – Most commercial projects require flexibility to deal with a variety of issues as they arise. This means that commercial paint companies can usually adapt to customers’ needs, should any complications arise. 
4. Services – Resiential painters specialize in services you would need around a house, such as interior/exterior painting, fixing cracks in walls, painting decks and fences, etc.. While commercial painters offer a wider variety of services such as: 

• Drywall finishing 
• Vinyl wall covering
• Floor coatings 
• Exterior texture coatings
