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.
Plastering and painting work in the canton of Graubünden
In Graubünden, plasterers and painters work in very different settings: apartment buildings and houses in Chur, second homes in the major resorts and old Engadine houses with thick walls. In the resorts, holiday flats are refreshed between seasons, often while the owners are away, with repairs to walls damaged by skis and luggage. In the Lower Engadine, in Scuol for example, the houses have deep window recesses and lime-plastered vaults that require traditional skills. At altitude, the very dry air and large temperature swings speed up the drying of plaster and can cause cracks. Protected houses are dealt with after contacting the municipality.
- For a holiday flat in Davos, agree on a key handover and an on-site contact so that the work can progress even in your absence.
- In an Engadine house, ask for a lime plaster for the vaults and recesses, compatible with the old masonry.

Frequently asked questions
What should I ask a plasterer and painter in Graubünden?
Ask how cracks and damaged walls will be repaired before painting. Check which paints and finishes are proposed and how many coats are planned. Also ask how furniture, floors and fittings will be protected during the work.
How do plaster preparation and the final paint finish relate?
The condition and smoothness of the base influence how the final paint looks, particularly under side lighting. State the expected finish and show damaged areas. Ask which filling, plastering or sanding is included before painting, and what needs further assessment rather than cosmetic covering.
What should I compare in plastering and painting quotes?
Compare repairs, plaster layers, surface finish and the paint system. Identify ceilings, partitions and decorative details separately. Ask how dust and occupied rooms are managed, and whether the quote includes protecting and reinstating fittings removed to reach the work area.
How should I prepare for the plastering and painting visit or work?
Photograph the walls in normal and side light, and identify fixtures or furniture that will remain. Choose colour samples before the final coating. Agree clear work areas and ventilation arrangements, while leaving investigation of damaged or suspect surfaces to the appropriate specialist.
