Your project in the canton of Lucerne

The canton of Lucerne is centred on the city of the same name, on the shores of Lake Lucerne, and extends into the Entlebuch and the Seetal. Lucerne's old town, with its covered bridges and painted façades, has many old buildings where lorry access is restricted. Kriens, Emmenbrücke and Ebikon form the suburban area, with many rental blocks and condominium flats. On the lakeshore, Meggen and Horw feature villas and houses with views. Further west, Sursee and Willisau have kept small old towns surrounded by countryside and farms. The canton is German-speaking, but you can explain your project in English in your request. For work on an old building or the exterior, check with your municipality. Give the municipality and postcode, the available delivery space and access to the building's different floors.

  • In Lucerne's old town, describe vehicle access and whether there is a goods lift.
  • For a lakeside villa, say whether the plot is sloping and how it can be reached.
  • In a condominium in the suburbs, state whether the work affects the communal areas.

Painting work in the canton of Lucerne

In the canton of Lucerne, the old town with its painted façades along the Reuss means you should check with your municipality before any exterior change. In the city and in Kriens, apartment blocks and the many condominium properties generate requests for interior painting, stairwells and underground car parks, often coordinated by the building's management. Near Lake Lucerne, humidity and autumn fog slow drying, so save façades for late spring and summer. In the Entlebuch, farmhouses and timber chalets tend to call for regular staining of façades and balconies. Also consider old interior woodwork, often varnished, which needs sanding before it can be painted.

  • For the common areas of a Lucerne condominium, have the colour choice approved by the co-owners before requesting quotes.
  • In an underground car park, ask for a floor paint that resists abrasion and the de-icing salt brought in by cars.

Frequently asked questions

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

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.
