Quality matters whether you’re buying a single gallon of paint or refinishing the exterior of a commercial office park. It comes down to the type of paint and the manufacturer. Your first instinct might be to go with a national manufacturer and a brand name you recognize. For reliable results, especially in Florida’s humid climate, entrust your property to a local paint manufacturer.
Here are a few reasons you get high-quality, long-lasting paint products and applications from a Florida paint company.
Global supply chains haven’t yet recovered from the disruption of COVID-19. Labor shortages and increasingly extreme weather events can cause shipments to be delayed for weeks, leaving paint contractors without clear timelines to finish projects.
Even DIY-ers painting their own homes may struggle to find the premium paint products they want in big box home improvement stores.
Local paint manufacturers, by comparison, formulate and sell their products from a single location. They can provide their full range of products for consumers and offer insight into when they restock and manufacture paint to order, so contractors always have enough for the entire job.
Every time a product passes through a distribution chain or retail establishment, the cost increases. The price you pay at the store includes markups for everyone who shipped it and sold it to make a profit.
The paint that left the manufacturer costs a fraction of what you end up paying at the register.
When you shop locally, you eliminate the price impact of a product passing through multiple vendors. The product is manufactured where it’s sold, so the cost to the consumer is lower and more representative of the quality of the paint––not the complexity of the supply chain.
Paints sold across the country or the globe have to be effective in various climates–cold, hot, humid, and dry. But being formulated to work everywhere often means they don’t work very well.
In humid, hot climates with high precipitation, even the highest quality paints don’t last as long as they might in more temperate areas of the country.
Paint manufacturers in Florida create products to withstand everything the state can throw at it, whether it’s unrelenting UV rays, high humidity, or hurricane season. Your money goes further when you shop locally because your paint will last longer than the brand name.
