If a specialized piece of equipment is required for your commercial painting project, we’ll account for that in the scope and budget, but generally speaking we supply all of our own equipment. Our preference is to work with top-quality equipment and materials because it makes our job easier, faster, and, frankly, it ensures you get a much better finish. We offer consultation on what types of paints best suit your project, taking surface materials, light exposure, weather, and other factors (like your budget and specifications) into account. As more and more businesses and builders embrace eco-friendly practices, we’re happy to source materials that adhere to these standards. If your project requires the use of Green Seal Standard Paints, no problem, we’ll make it happen.

You’re busy. You’ve got this painting project and a million other things to oversee. If we’re constantly coming to you with questions, you can’t do your job, and that’s stressful. We get it. That’s why, through extensive scoping and consultation, we develop the most comprehensive plan possible. Our entire commercial painting crew, from Site Super to Painter, will know the plan and work together to anticipate your needs before you know you have them. That’s the way we operate. We’ll be in the right place at the right time. We’ll keep you informed. We’ll ask questions when we need to, but if we do our job right, you’ll barely even know we’re there.

At PLE, painters aren’t short-term, disposable contractors. They’re talented career professionals and craftspeople with an in-demand skill set that can benefit others. As a business, we feel it’s our duty not only to elevate our community but to elevate those who work for us. We hire the best painters and we invest in their personal development training. Our respect for the trade of professional and commercial painting in Metro Vancouver has enabled us to attract individuals who similarly value the integrity of the work we do. Our crew understands that the visual quality of an office space or commercial environment affects the performance of that business, and therefore the lives of those it supports. Doing our best is both a duty and a matter of personal pride.

Our scoping process for commercial painting projects is highly detailed, but our project management know-how isn’t limited to painting. We have experience working on, managing, spec’ing and developing painting budgets for commercial projects that involve multiple trades. If you’re in need of some guidance, we can help you to assess the bigger picture. This can include discussing the assignments and schedules of other tradespeople on site, offering input on project timing and possible seasonal impacts, reviewing materials and making suggestions, and more. Before the project kicks off, we’ll sit down with you to discuss site preparation and painting pre-requirements, review best practices, and explain the stages of the project—who will be on site, doing what and when.

Proper commercial painting project management requires a solid foundation, and that foundation is knowledge, and experience. When we’re asked to scope a project, we ask a lot of questions. We review your plans in detail. We conduct a site visit. Then we define the scope of work and chart the most efficient course. Our approach is to systematize and simplify. We establish a painting schedule and clearly define your expectations. We take the time to meet with the other tradespeople who will be on site and gather information about their schedule and needs. By understanding all aspects of the project, we’re able to eliminate inefficient delays and respond to changing needs more effectively.

We understand that things change. Timelines and working hours can be adjusted to accommodate your business operations or the work of other tradespeople. A curve ball may be thrown that requires the original specifications to be modified. No problem. In fact, when scoping commercial painting projects, flexibility is always built into our plan. The key is maintaining clear lines of communication. Every project has a site supervisor, what we call your “Site Super.” This proactive individual’s job is to understand your needs, be available, and respond to on-site changes as quickly and efficiently as possible. They’ll seek information about room and facility usage, work routines, meeting and deadline schedules and so forth in order to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.

Your site supervisor, or “Site Super”, is your main point of contact on site. They directly coordinate the PLE commercial painting crew and are 100% dedicated to your project, overseeing on-site efficiency and ensuring things run smoothly and on schedule. From the get-go, we’ll be transparent about our operations. Your Site Super will provide regular updates. If something needs to be changed or shifted, you’ll know—in advance. If timelines need to be adjusted, the Site Super will show you the revised schedule—in advance. Our goal is to make sure you have absolute clarity. The Site Super’s job is to respond to your inquiries and to be proactive about keeping you up to date so that there are no surprises.

Project Managers are also hands-on and 100% dedicated to ensuring your project is efficiently completed. With extensive experience on projects both large and complex, they know how to effectively adapt and overcome any unexpected challenge that may affect yours. Project Managers are involved with your project from beginning to end, and coordinate PLE Site Supers and Painters to mitigate downtime when significant changes to scope and schedule are required.
