Commercial painting in Lighthouse Point

Lighthouse Point routes development plans and permits through a Community Appearance Board whose purpose is the city's appearance. For a small commercial property here, the first question is whether a repaint goes in front of that board, and only city staff can answer it.

The board reviews development plans and building permits required by the City Code of Ordinances, with the goal of improving the city's appearance. Its page does not mention paint or color, so it does not settle whether a repaint is reviewed. Romco asks the Building Department and records the answer before any color is chosen. The same applies to a same-color refresh: if staff say no review is needed, that answer goes in the job file.

We did not find a published paint rule for commercial buildings, and we do not claim one. Until staff answer, the honest position is that review may or may not apply, and the quote shows both cases: one schedule with a board date in it, and one without.

On small buildings, the cost of a wrong assumption is a stopped job and a second mobilization. That is why the review question comes first, then a written record of existing and proposed colors, then work phased so the business stays open. If the board does need to see the scheme, its meeting date becomes the start date in the quote.

How a job runs

Six steps, in this order

  3. Written scope and quote

    The quote names the prep, the coating system, the access method, the phasing and what depends on approvals.

  4. Approvals and permits

    Color or board approval, any city permit the work triggers, and access or security clearances are settled first.

  5. Prep and coating

    Washing, repairs, primer and finish coats follow the agreed sequence, with areas below protected while work is overhead.

  6. Punch list and turnover

    We walk the finished work with you, close the punch list, and hand over the coating record for the building file.

Questions

Commercial painting in Lighthouse Point

What does the Lighthouse Point Community Appearance Board review?

Its page says it reviews development plans and building permits required by the City Code of Ordinances to improve the city's appearance. Ask staff whether a repaint falls within that.

What does commercial painting cost?

Every job is quoted from a walk of the building, or from photos and drawings when they show enough. The number depends on the surfaces and their condition, how much prep and repair they need, the coating system, the access each elevation needs, whether people stay inside during the work, and what approvals come first. We do not publish rates, because two buildings that look alike rarely are.

What about lead paint on an older building?

Paint applied before 1978 can contain lead. Federal EPA rules on renovation, repair and painting cover work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 housing and in child-occupied facilities, and where they apply the work is done by a certified firm with lead-safe practices. We check the building's age and use before the scope is written.

How long does a commercial repaint take?

A schedule comes after the walk-through, not before it. The schedule depends on the size and condition of the surfaces, the repairs found once washing is done, the weather, the access method, any board or color approval, and the hours the building allows us to work. Once those are known, you get a sequence with the dependencies named.
