A commercial repaint is easier on a working business when it is planned around operations. For West Milwaukee businesses, a short access and scheduling checklist leads to a scope you can rely on.

Key Takeaways

• List what must stay open and which hours are off limits.
• Walk the space with the contractor to record condition.
• Ask about prep, product and drying times.
• Get areas, schedule and exclusions in writing.

Map operations first

List areas that must stay open, customer entrances, deliveries and quiet hours. The contractor can plan phases around them if they know up front.

Walk the space

Walk each area with the estimator and record wall condition, damage, high or hard-to-reach surfaces and items to move. Photos with locations make the scope clear.

Ask about prep and protection

Ask how floors, fixtures and merchandise are protected, how patching is handled and how areas are cleaned each day.

Check products and drying

Ask which products are proposed and request their data sheets. Drying and recoat times affect how soon each area is back in use.

Write down the schedule and exclusions

The scope should list areas, phases, hours, product, coats and exclusions. A phased plan with named areas makes it easier to track progress.
