Your project in the canton of Glarus
The canton of Glarus occupies a narrow alpine valley framed by peaks, where the Linth flows down towards Lake Walen. The main town, Glarus, was largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century and has a regular street plan with stone buildings. Näfels and Mollis, to the north, feature mansions and residential districts, while Schwanden and Linthal, further up, retain former textile workers' housing. The mountain climate, with snow and the föhn wind, influences the choice of materials and the timing of outdoor work. The canton is German-speaking, but a request in English is entirely possible. For an old building or a change visible from the street, contact your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, distinguishing the valley road from narrower routes to your building.
- In the upper valley, say whether the access road is affected by snow or closures.
- For a former worker's house, describe the condition of the roof and exterior walls.
- If your house is exposed to the föhn, mention it for any work on the roof or shutters.
Façade work in the canton of Glarus
In the canton of Glarus, façades live to the rhythm of a narrow valley where the sun is scarce in winter and the foehn sometimes blows violently. In Glarus, the centre rebuilt after the great fire has orderly masonry buildings with sober renders that should be preserved, and the municipality must be consulted before any change of colour. Further up the valley, towards Linthal, timber houses and former mill workers' residences suffer from damp and lack of sunshine: the less exposed sides quickly turn green. A façade specialist then proposes cleaning, a breathable render or external insulation, depending on the condition of the walls and the use of the building.
- On a façade that is in shade for much of the winter, ask for a mineral render that limits the growth of moss and algae.
- During foehn episodes, check with the specialist that sheeting and scaffolding components are securely fastened.

Frequently asked questions
How is a facade renovation organised in Glarus?
The company first assesses the condition of the facade and identifies cracks, moisture or damaged render. Scaffolding is then erected, the surfaces are cleaned and repaired, and the new finish is applied. Ask how windows, plants and access to the building will be protected during the work.
Should a facade crack simply be covered with new render?
Describe the crack pattern, age and any observed changes, with photographs from safe ground positions. The cause may need assessment before a finish is renewed. Ask how damaged areas and moisture will be investigated and which repairs are included in the proposed facade treatment.
What should I compare in facade contractor quotes?
Compare cleaning, repairs, render or coating and work at windows or junctions. Check scaffolding, protection and disposal as well as the finish specification. Where insulation is proposed, make sure it is separately described rather than assuming every facade renewal includes it.
How should I prepare for the facade contractor visit or work?
Identify access routes, balconies, planted areas and fixtures requiring protection. Gather information about earlier facade work. Agree arrangements with neighbours or the building manager where scaffolding affects shared areas, and keep windows or vents accessible as specified by the work plan.
