Your project in the canton of Graubünden
Switzerland's largest canton, Graubünden brings together alpine valleys, renowned resorts and three languages: German, Romansh and Italian. Chur, the capital, has a lively old town and expanding residential districts. Davos, St. Moritz, Arosa and Klosters are home to chalets, second homes and hotels, often at high altitude. In the Lower Engadine, Scuol is surrounded by Engadine houses with thick walls decorated with sgraffito, while Poschiavo, in the south, is Italian-speaking. In the mountains, snow, pass roads and a short building season mean that outdoor work must be planned carefully. Whatever the valley, you can write your request in English. For a traditional house or visible work in a village, it is advisable to contact the municipality first. Give the municipality and postcode, when the property is accessible and any mountain road or transport restrictions.
- For a chalet at altitude, explain winter access and when the work could take place.
- For a second home, state when you will be there and who can let tradespeople in.
- For an Engadine house with thick walls, attach photos of the façades and openings.
Painting work in the canton of Graubünden
In Graubünden, altitude and temperature swings put paintwork to the test. The Engadine houses of Scuol, with their sgraffito lime decorations, are restored with mineral limewashes and great delicacy: check with your municipality before any work on a decorated façade. In Davos and the other resorts, chalets and holiday homes have exterior woodwork that needs frequent re-staining, as the intense mountain sun quickly turns it grey. The window for façade work is short, running from late spring to early autumn depending on the altitude. In Chur, buildings in the old town and residential districts mainly offer interior projects that can be carried out all year round.
- For a holiday home, leave a key or arrange access so the painters can work in your absence during the short warm season.
- At altitude, choose a well-pigmented, UV-resistant stain: very light or clear stains protect the wood poorly.

Frequently asked questions
How should I prepare my flat before the painter arrives in Graubünden?
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.
