Facade painting should be scheduled around the selected coating's application and drying requirements. A sunny forecast alone is not enough to approve a day of work. Surface condition, access and the conditions after application also matter.
Ask for a weather-dependent schedule
The manufacturer's exterior temperature guide discusses air and surface temperature, humidity and rain. Use the limits for the actual product rather than a generic temperature range.
Ask who checks the conditions and how postponements will be communicated. Allow an agreed alternative date instead of making an inflexible completion promise before the surface has been inspected.
Prepare an exterior work brief
- Building location and photographs of each facade.
- Surface material and known previous coating.
- Visible cracks, stains and previous repairs.
- Height, obstructions and access arrangements.
- Areas, trim and neighbouring items that need protection.
Keep access separate in the quote
Scaffolding, access equipment and protection may change the scope substantially. Their suitability must be assessed by the people responsible for the work. Do not treat facade area alone as a complete pricing basis.
Agree inspection and handover
Record the chosen colour and product, weather-related changes and completed areas. Ask for the coating's care information. See facade painting for the service and how to compare a quote for the commercial checklist.
