Commercial painting in Cutler Bay

The town says no construction permit is needed for painting or similar finish work. Repairs beyond finish work may be different, so Romco checks with the town when prep uncovers damage.

It depends on surface area, height, access, the condition of the substrate and the rules at the address. A coastal tower on swing stages and a one-story strip center inland are different jobs. Romco walks the building, writes the scope down and quotes that scope. No figures appear on this site because a number given before the walk would not hold.

The federal RRP rule covers work that disturbs painted surfaces in pre-1978 housing and in child-occupied facilities, such as a pre-1978 building where children under six come regularly, and that work needs a certified firm. OSHA's lead standard covers painting as construction work in any building. Romco checks whether the rule applies and arranges a qualified firm when it does.

No date is promised up front. The schedule hangs on approvals such as a Coral Gables Board of Architects review, on how much of the building can be closed off at once, and on rain between May 15 and October 15. Romco gives a sequence with its dependencies once those are known.
