We undertake painting jobs/contracts for commercial and residential buildings.

You say you paint buildings, not paint properties.

It's not my first language either. Nor is it the first language of anyone here. Nor is it a language.

Would it be misconstrued as 'We have been making colorful changes in the lives of people just like you have been making colorful changes in the lives of people for over 22 years'?

My previous post was obviously a question instead of an answer, so I thought 'Not a teacher' was optional. Was I wrong?

It seemed like a suggestion to me, but I could be wrong.

Do not end all your statements with exclamation marks! They aren't needed all the time! They make your writing unnatural!

See what I mean?

Isn't it a bit far-fetched to say that changing the colours of one's kitchen or house would change one's life?

Should it be "making colourful changes in/to the lives of people"?
