Pro Tips

  • **Equipment Protection**: Properly protect all mechanical equipment - replacement costs far exceed painting costs.
  • **Access Planning**: Plan for difficult access around equipment - use proper ladders and safety equipment.
  • **Ventilation**: Ensure adequate ventilation during painting - utility rooms often have poor air circulation.
  • **Chemical Resistance**: Choose paints that resist cleaning chemicals and mechanical fluids.
  • **Safety First**: Use proper respiratory protection - utility rooms may contain dust and chemical residues.
  • **Coordination**: Coordinate with equipment maintenance schedules to minimize disruption.
  • **Professional Assessment**: Have equipment and environmental conditions assessed before major utility room painting.
