Exterior decoration of traditional wood constructed chalet?

Post by Mountain Goat »

Anyone know a specialist for routine exterior decoration of a wood-clad chalet? Perhaps a contact in one of the neighbouring French resorts?

We've just had a couple of eye-watering quotations, and neither is reasonable.

Not keen on doing it myself, as I haven't got a clue about either aérogommage or hydrogommage or whatever the word for sandblasting is. Hydrogommage is attractive as it isn't dependent on weather (well, rain - not snow and ice).

I know someone good for stuff like this - I'll be in Chamonix next week and I'm meeting up with him about something else, so I'll ask him then.

Many thanks, Martha, that would be great.

Total exterior surface to be done is 335m2 and that includes facade, pignons, volets and avant-toit. Imprégnation is normally 4 coats. It's 3 stories, but sous-sol is concrete. We can supply elevation plans and photos.

Accommodation would be comfortable, and we're looking at first couple of weeks of October this year.
