Your project in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden
At the foot of the Alpstein, Appenzell Innerrhoden is a landscape of green hills, scattered farmhouses and villages with strong character. The village of Appenzell is famous for its timber houses with brightly painted façades, while Gonten, Schwende and Weissbad have more dispersed settlements, often on sloping ground. The Oberegg enclave, closer to the Rhine Valley, combines traditional houses with more recent buildings. Many properties are old, with timber structures that call for specialist skills when it comes to insulation, windows or woodwork. The canton is German-speaking, yet your request can be written in English. For any project affecting the outside of a traditional Appenzell house, check with your municipality. State the village, postcode and width of the access road if the house is on a slope or outside the village.
- For a timber house with painted façades, attach photos of the exterior so that tradespeople can assess the work.
- If your farmhouse is isolated, describe the access road and how passable it is in winter.
- Give the approximate age of the building, as insulation methods differ for old timber houses.
Painting work in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden
For painting in Appenzell Innerrhoden, identify the surfaces, existing coating and damage such as flaking, staining or exposed timber. Provide photographs, orientation and access for exterior areas. The painter should assess the substrate and previous treatment before preparation and a compatible coating are specified. Ask how the existing layers will be assessed and prepared. Include any known colour or heritage restrictions. Schedule exterior work against the chosen product's application conditions and conditions at the site.
- Prioritise repainting the boards facing south and west, which turn grey and crack faster than the rest of the house.
- For an isolated farmhouse, combine the façade, shutters and eaves in a single job to limit trips for the team and equipment.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare my flat before the painter arrives in Appenzell Innerrhoden?
Move furniture to the centre of the rooms or into another room, and take down pictures and curtains. Choose your colours and finishes in advance, ideally with samples tested on the wall. The painter will then protect floors and fittings before starting work.
How should wall defects be included in a painting request?
Photograph cracks, peeling finishes or stains and describe whether they have changed or returned. Painting alone may not resolve an underlying moisture or movement problem. Ask what assessment and preparation are proposed before choosing a finish for the affected surface.
What should I compare in painter quotes?
Compare the surfaces, preparation, paint system and number of coats described. Include ceilings, woodwork or radiators only where specified. Check protection, moving furniture and cleaning after the work, and confirm colour samples before a large area is painted.
How should I prepare for the painter visit or work?
List furniture that cannot be moved and discuss protection with the painter. Test selected colours on a sample in the room's actual light. Take down removable decorations if agreed, and keep access to the surfaces clear without scraping or treating suspect materials yourself.
