Schools are public icons – visible monuments to the investment a community makes in its future. If you’re a school facility manager, you get it. Great grounds, a crisply painted exterior, and hallways and classrooms that feel fresh and clean are a standard that you will battle to uphold through time, wear and the grime of a couple hundred bodies shuffling through the space nine months out of the year. Did you also know however, that selecting both the right kind of paint and the right caliber of school painting contractor can make a big difference to the cleanability and durability of your surfaces?

When choosing a school painting contractor, timing is of the essence. It’s a serious undertaking, removing furniture and artwork from walls, closing off classrooms or common areas to traffic while painters prep and paint walls, then waiting a bit longer for surfaces to dry and cure can be a significant disruption to your facility’s schedule.

The bells rings, and they’re off: a thousand bodies crush into hallways and common spaces, bumping walls, scraping with fingers, rubbing against every surface as they hustle from one room to the next. In the gym, basketballs pound walls and tennis shoes scuff baseboards every single period.
