Your project in the canton of Geneva

For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.

  • In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
  • For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
  • For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.

Painting work in the canton of Geneva

For painting in Geneva, identify the rooms or façade surfaces and describe their condition, including stains, cracks, loose paint and any existing mouldings or timberwork. Specify which details should be retained and protected. In a rented home or shared areas, agree the scope, colours and access with the responsible person. Exterior work should be scheduled according to the actual surface condition, weather forecast and product instructions. If the building is protected or the project changes its exterior appearance, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before work starts.

  • For a move-out inspection in Geneva, ask for exactly the original colour, often an off-white, to avoid disagreements with the property management company.
  • Avoid painting an exposed façade or balcony on days of strong bise, which dries the paint too quickly and leaves visible lap marks.

Frequently asked questions

How should I prepare my flat before the painter arrives in Geneva?

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.
