Commercial painting in Sunrise

Sunrise treats a nonresidential repaint as a permitted job with an ending. The city issues a Painting Permit through the Planning Division, and the permit stays open until a paint inspection is completed and approved, so a Sunrise job is not done when the last coat dries.

The Application for Painting Permit checklist covers multi-family and nonresidential buildings and carries a review fee. Its closing line sets the finish: "Upon completion of work, Applicant/Qualifier must contact the Planning Division to request a paint inspection. Until an inspection is completed and approved, the permit will remain open." An open permit can follow a property into a sale or refinance, so the inspection belongs in the schedule.

Most of the city's large commercial stock sits in the four-square-mile Sawgrass Business and Entertainment District. The city lists its anchors as the 22,000-seat Amerant Bank Arena, Sawgrass Mills mall with over 40 million annual visitors, and the 612-acre Sawgrass International Corporate Park, which it calls South Florida's largest corporate office park.

In that district, access is the hard part. Retail and arena buildings do not close, and office campuses run full parking decks on weekdays. Romco sequences elevations around entrances and event days, keeps lifts out of fire lanes, and books the Planning Division inspection as the last line of the schedule, not an afterthought.

How a job runs

Six steps, in this order

    Call, or use the quote form with photos or drawings. Tell us what gets painted, who is inside, and any deadline.

  2. We walk the building

    We look at the surfaces and their condition, the access each elevation needs, and what has to stay protected.

  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 Sunrise

When is a commercial painting permit closed in Sunrise?

Only after the Planning Division inspects the finished paint. The city's checklist says the applicant must request a paint inspection, and until it is completed and approved, the permit remains open.

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.
