Hospital, clinic and school building painting · Miami-Dade County
Hospital, clinic and school building painting in Miami-Dade
Hospitals, clinics and schools rarely empty. Patients, staff and children set the work hours, and older buildings bring federal lead rules into play.
A pre-1978 school wing or clinic playroom that the same small child, under 6, uses on two or more days a week falls under EPA's RRP rule. Sanding or scraping paint there is renovation, and only a certified firm may do it.
Romco checks whether the rule applies before any scraping or sanding and arranges a firm that holds the certification when it does. OSHA's lead standard also applies to painting as construction work, whatever the building's age.
Romco quotes painting of these buildings as a building contractor. It is not in the health or education business. Phases follow the facility's own infection-control and safety requirements, and school work is often planned for breaks.
Order of work

What usually goes wrong
Where this kind of job slips in Miami-Dade, and the control
Lead in older buildings
Scraping old coats in a pre-1978 building can create lead dust. Romco checks first and brings in a certified firm when the rule applies.
Occupied wards and classrooms
Rooms cannot be closed at random. Phases follow the facility's schedule and its infection-control or safety staff.
Odor and dust
Patients and children are sensitive to both. Work areas are sealed off, and strong coats are applied when spaces are empty.
Outside scope
Where the lead rule applies, the paint-disturbing work goes to an EPA-certified firm, and Romco coordinates it with the rest of the job. Medical gas, life-safety and controls are outside scope.
Questions
About hospital, clinic and school building painting
Does the lead rule apply to a Miami-Dade school building?
It can, when young children under 6 use a pre-1978 space week after week. Romco checks the building age and who uses each room before any paint is disturbed.
Can painting happen while a clinic is open?
Yes, in sealed phases agreed with the clinic, with strong coats applied when rooms are empty.
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 size of building will Romco quote?
Any size. A single storefront bay, a full office floor, a Doral distribution warehouse or a coastal condo tower all get the same process: a site walk, a jurisdiction check and a written scope.
Is Romco licensed?
Romco Builders is a licensed Florida general contractor, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale. It manages painting as part of that work.
How Romco runs it
The same six stages, every job
Site walk and jurisdiction check
Romco walks the building, measures the surfaces and confirms whether the county or a city building official governs the folio.
Approvals and colors
Any color board, historic review, zoning permit or roof-coating permit the address needs is filed before materials are ordered.
Phasing and protection
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.
Coating application
Coats go on in the order the system calls for, with exterior work timed around rainy-season weather.
Punch list and turnover
Romco walks the finished work with the owner or manager, fixes the punch items and hands over the color and product schedule.
