Why is painting metal roofs for housing associations worthwhile?

Time inevitably shows on metal roofs too. Seasonal changes constantly stress the roof metal: in summer, heat makes the metal expand, and in winter frost it contracts. To keep the roof in good condition, it needs an intact paint surface that moves with the roof and protects it from external stress.

Metal roof coating by Väriset using quality paint is a sensible way to maintain the roof's condition. Properly done metal roof painting extends its lifespan, slows down rust formation, and restores the metal roof's neat and presentable appearance.

When is painting metal roofs for housing associations timely?

Metal roof coating is usually timely when about 8–10 years have passed since the last painting and the paint surface starts to fade or flake. Visible rust on the roof is a sign that the roof needs maintenance.

How does Väriset carry out metal roof coating for housing associations?

Painting a housing association's metal roof is a comprehensive process that requires careful planning. We ensure that the project proceeds safely and with quality according to the agreed schedule. Painting begins with thorough groundwork and roof washing, while the building and surroundings are protected from wash water and splashes. After cleaning, a growth prevention agent is applied to the roof. Then the roof is coated with quality coating material that provides a durable and protective paint surface. At the end of the work, we clean up after ourselves and transport the site waste appropriately for recycling.

How long does painting metal roofs for housing associations take?

Usually, one day is reserved for washing one detached house or building and another for painting. For example, 1–2 weeks are reserved for the entire coating project of a medium-sized townhouse association.

How does Väriset communicate with residents during the project?

It's important for residents to know what's happening. Väriset handles communication and notifications during the construction period. We can do this either with traditional paper notices or electronically. One proven method to enhance communication is setting up a WhatsApp group for the duration of the project. This way, residents stay informed about the project's status even when they're not at home.

This is how we make it easy

Survey, quote, and contract

Our specialist assesses the maintenance needs of the housing cooperative's exterior surfaces and prepares a quote. Once approved, we draw up a contract.

Scheduling and communication

We agree on a detailed schedule for the work. Väriset informs the housing cooperative's residents about the stages of the work. We also aim to arrange a kick-off meeting at the start of the work to go through practical arrangements.

Work begins

There are always enough painters on the job to complete the work on the agreed schedule. For larger projects, we hold a mid-project inspection to verify that the quality of work meets standards.

Final inspection

Finally, we hold a handover inspection attended by representatives of the housing cooperative, any site supervisor, and the project manager. Now the housing cooperative has a new, durable, and protective surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the painting project carried out if it rains?

Finnish summers vary greatly. One summer can be cold and rainy, another dry and warm. The actual painting work must be carried out in dry weather, but exterior painting or roof coating involves many other work stages besides just surface painting. Washing and preparation work can be done even when it rains. Additionally, painting can be done in light rain, for example under canopies. Exterior painting projects have always been completed even during rainy summers. In those cases, dry days must be used especially efficiently.

Can business be conducted in Finnish?

All our employees are always proficient in Finnish. This ensures that communication on site is smooth and there are no breaks in communication.

How does the work affect living during the project?

Through project planning and efficient execution, we aim to minimize
inconvenience to residents. We always complete one section at a time so that work in the yard of an individual apartment lasts as short a time as possible.

What is the best time to carry out exterior painting or roof coating?

Exterior painting and roof coating are summer projects, but if your housing association wants to carry out the project in early summer, it's advisable to send out the request for quotation in the fall. Early summer and spring slots are usually fully booked during the fall. However, from the perspective of the painting work's final result, it doesn't really matter whether the project is carried out in May or August. If the request for quotation is submitted in spring or early summer, Väriset usually still has available resources for late summer.
