Our approach
5 steps to a facade that lasts
- 01
Exterior assessment
Identifying cracks, blisters, moss and water infiltration. Checking the condition of joints, drainpipes and wooden elements (shutters, eaves).
- 02
Thorough preparation
High-pressure washing, antifungal treatment, stripping of flaking old paint, repair of spalls and application of a primer/fixative.
- 03
Choosing the right system
Render, pliolite, silicate, hydropliolite: each substrate requires an adapted system.
For Valais, we favour microporous and water-repellent paints.
- 04
Application in 2 to 3 coats
Bonding primer followed by a finish in two crossed passes.
Weather conditions are checked daily: no work below 5 °C, above 30 °C or before a period of rain.
- 05
Inspection and guarantee
Joint worksite check, removal of protection sheets and waste disposal.
Ten-year product guarantee and workmanship guarantee on the application.

Frequently asked questions
Before repainting your facade
What season is best to repaint a facade in Valais?
Ideally from May to October.
The minimum temperature must be 5 °C, with no rain forecast within 24 to 48 hours and a reasonable humidity level.
At lower altitudes (Chablais), the favourable period is wider than in an alpine resort.
How often should a facade be repainted?
With a quality professional system and good preparation:
- 12 to 15 years for pliolite paint;
- 10 to 12 years for mineral render.
The alpine climate generally reduces these durations by 2 to 3 years compared to a facade in the plain.
Is scaffolding required?
Above ground floor level, yes.
For R+1 villas, a cherry picker can sometimes suffice.
The quote always includes the chosen access solution, with erection and dismantling included.
Do you have insurance for work at height?
Yes, I have professional liability insurance covering work at height up to 4 storeys.
Beyond that, I work with specialist partners in rope access.
What about a wooden facade (chalet)?
Application of stain or opaque paint depending on the desired look.
Stain preserves the wood grain and lasts approximately 5 to 7 years.
Opaque paint provides protection of 10 to 12 years.
In all cases, an insecticide and fungicide treatment is applied as a primer.
