Paint maintenance is easy to ignore until the building starts looking tired.Then suddenly the lobby looks beat up, stairwells feel neglected, trim is chipped, exterior paint is failing, and everyone wants to know why the building looks like it lost a fight with weather and foot traffic.For Portland facility managers and building owners, paint should be managed like part of the property maintenance system.
