Sweetwater, Miami-Dade County
Commercial painting in Sweetwater
Sweetwater, which its own history says burgeoned to over 19,000 people, more than 94% of Hispanic origin, is a separate municipality with its own building official. We found no written paint permit or color rule there, so Romco asks the city before work rather than applying county rules.
The county handles permits only for unincorporated folios beginning with "30". Romco reads the folio on every Sweetwater address before quoting, so the right government's rules go into the plan.
Romco protects storefronts and parking during the work and keeps pressure-washing runoff out of the drains under Miami-Dade's discharge rules.

Any color board, historic review, zoning permit or roof-coating permit the address needs is filed before materials are ordered.

Work is split around open tenants, residents and traffic. Floors, glazing, landscaping and storm drains are protected before prep starts.
Surface prep
Cleaning, scraping, patching and priming, with wash water kept out of storm drains as county and city rules require.

Coats go on in the order the system calls for, with exterior work timed around rainy-season weather.
Punch list and turnover

Questions
Commercial painting in Sweetwater
Do county painting rules apply in Sweetwater?
No. Sweetwater is its own city with its own building official. The county handles only unincorporated folios starting with "30". Romco checks the folio and asks the city.
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.
