Your project in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud stretches from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps. Lausanne, built on steep slopes, has many older rental buildings, condominium flats and streets where parking is difficult. On the Riviera, Vevey and Montreux combine Belle Époque buildings with villas overlooking the lake, while the slopes of Lavaux are covered in terraced vineyards. Nyon and Morges combine old towns and residential districts. Yverdon-les-Bains, at the end of Lake Neuchâtel, and Payerne, in the Broye, open onto more rural surroundings. In the Chablais and the Alps, around Aigle, chalets and mountain houses contend with snow. For a façade, windows or an extension, approval may be required, so check with your municipality. State the municipality and postcode, the type of property and access to the rooms or outdoor areas concerned.
- In Lausanne, describe the slope of the street, the floor and parking options for a works vehicle.
- For a winegrower's house in Lavaux, describe access via the vineyard paths and the space available.
- For a chalet in the Vaud Alps, give the altitude and the period when the road is clear.
Painting work in the canton of Vaud
In the canton of Vaud, painting rented flats is a constant request, particularly in Lausanne, where older buildings with parquet floors and cornices frequently change tenants ahead of a move-out inspection. Common areas are generally managed by a property management company, which sets colours and working hours. On the Riviera, around Vevey, buildings from the early twentieth century need special care for cornices, wrought-iron balconies and window surrounds. In the winegrowers' houses of Lavaux and the historic villages, check with your municipality before repainting a façade. In the Vaud Alps, chalets are re-stained in the height of summer, when the boards have dried and the nights no longer freeze.
- For wrought-iron balconies, ask for the rust to be brushed off and an anti-rust coat applied before the finish, otherwise streaks will reappear on the façade.
- In Lausanne, notify the property management company and neighbours before repainting a stairwell, and plan a protected walkway so residents can get through.

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