Flat handover
A full interior repaint between tenancies, usually on a tight deadline and with a handover inspection.
Zurich & surrounding area
Painting — interior and exterior
A coat of paint only lasts as long as the surface beneath it. Every painting job starts with checking the wall: is the old paint sound, are there cracks, nicotine, water marks or old distemper? Only then do we decide on the paint system and the number of coats.
We are based in Zurich, work regularly in the city and the surrounding region, and are available for renovation projects across Switzerland.
What's included
- Covering floors, furniture, windows and fittings, and masking all edges properly
- Surface check, sanding, removal of loose old coatings and priming where needed
- Filling small holes, plug holes and hairline cracks before painting
- Wall and ceiling coats in emulsion, silicate or latex depending on the room
- Painting woodwork, doors, frames, radiators and metal parts
- Façade and balcony coatings including pre-cleaning
- Colour advice using sample patches in the room, in daylight
- Daily clean-up and a swept, tidy handover
Typical jobs
Stairwells and common areas
Hard-wearing coatings in apartment buildings, done in stages so access is never blocked.
Refreshing a home
Single rooms or a whole flat repainted, including doors and window frames.
Office and commercial
Evening or weekend work so your operation keeps running.
Façades and exterior wood
Weather protection for façades, shutters and timber cladding.
How it works
1. Site visit
We look at the rooms, measure the areas and check the substrate. Free and without obligation.
2. Quote
A written quote with line items, paint system and timeframe — no hidden costs.
3. Preparation
Covering, masking, filling and priming. This stage decides the result.
4. Painting
The agreed number of coats, with drying times that are actually respected.
5. Handover
A walk-through in daylight. Anything not right is corrected before we close the job.
How we work
- Dust protection and covering are part of the job, not an extra.
- We work with fixed prices. If something unexpected appears, we discuss it before carrying on.
- One contact person follows your project from first call to handover.
- The site is tidied every day, even when we come back the next morning.
Frequently asked
- How long does painting a flat take?
- A 3.5-room flat, walls and ceilings, typically takes three to five working days, depending on the state of the substrate and whether woodwork is included.
- Do I have to move out?
- In occupied flats we usually work room by room so you can stay. A full repaint is considerably faster if the rooms are empty.
- Who buys the paint?
- Material is included in our quote. If you want a specific colour or manufacturer, we follow that.
- Can you just paint over the old coat?
- Only if the old coating is sound. Distemper, heavy soiling or a big colour change need priming and usually two top coats.
- Do you work outside Zurich?
- Yes. Zurich is our base, and we also take on projects in the wider region and elsewhere in Switzerland.

Plastering & skimming
You never notice a flat wall — you only notice one that isn't. Light raking in from a window or a wall lamp reveals every ripple. Plastering and skimming create the even surface that paint, wallpaper or decorative plaster need to look right.
Wall repair
A crack that is simply filled comes back. Before repairing, we work out where the damage comes from: settlement, a material junction, moisture or physical impact. Only then do we choose the repair method.
Interior renovation
An interior renovation is several trades interlocking: repair first, then plaster, prime and paint — all in the right order, with the drying times each step needs. We take on that coordination so you don't have to mediate between several contractors.
