Doral, Miami-Dade County
Commercial painting in Doral
Doral's permit exemption list names interior and exterior painting, but only in its residential section for single-family homes, duplexes, townhomes and condominiums. The commercial list does not show painting. In a city of over 2,600 trade and logistics companies a mile from Miami International Airport, that gap matters for warehouse repaints.
Because the commercial exemptions are silent on paint, Romco does not assume a Doral warehouse or office repaint is exempt. The question goes to the Doral Building Department with the address and scope before the quote is final, and any permit step is built into the schedule.
The city describes itself as one mile from Miami International Airport and one mile from the Hialeah Intermodal Rail Yard. Buildings that serve freight have dock doors and truck courts that must keep working, so Romco phases exterior work by elevation and dock bank, coordinates lift placement with the yard schedule, and keeps fire lanes open throughout.

City of Doral Building Department
The city's exemption list, dated 10-16-25, lists painting only under residential exemptions. We do not treat commercial painting as exempt; Romco asks the department about the building before work.
Read the sourceCity rules change, and a rule for houses does not always reach commercial buildings. Romco checks the current requirement with the city before ordering paint. The county-wide picture is on the Miami-Dade permit guide

Questions
Commercial painting in Doral
Is commercial painting exempt from a building permit in Doral?
We cannot say it is. Doral's exemption list puts painting under the residential section only, and the commercial section does not mention it. Romco asks the Doral Building Department about the specific building and scope before scheduling.
What does a commercial repaint cost?
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.
What if the building has lead paint?
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.
How long does a commercial painting job take?
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.
