Painting Services Dubai · Frequently Asked Questions

Because the cheapest painters cut corners that you will see in eight months — thin prep, diluted paint, no protection, no follow-up. Our pricing reflects two coats, full surface prep, premium paint and a warranty. It costs more up front and half as much over ten years.

Our workmanship guarantee is included on every project in writing, not verbally. If the finish fails, peels or streaks within the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no cost — no paperwork, no deductible, no arguments.

Drop cloths on every floor surface, plastic sheeting over furniture, low-tack tape on every edge, and specialised protection around kitchens, bathrooms and wooden flooring. No newspaper, no bed sheets.

Yes. Every booking includes an in-home color consultation with our design consultant — she brings paint decks, large samples, and an understanding of how Dubai light changes color throughout the day.

If we painted the color you signed off on and you change your mind, we offer a discounted repaint. If we painted the wrong color from the agreed palette, we repaint at no charge — no arguments.

Yes, especially for commercial projects. Many of our office and retail jobs run Saturday–Sunday or after 6 PM on weekdays. Evening residential work is also available at no premium.

We will not pretend to match a quote that is cheaper because it cuts prep, coats or paint quality. If you share a competitor quote, we will show you line by line what is different, and you can decide.

Standard residential projects are scheduled within 7 to 10 days. Urgent move-in or move-out work can usually be slotted within 48 hours. Large commercial projects are planned 3 to 6 weeks ahead.

We use low-VOC paints as standard, isolate work areas with plastic sheeting, and schedule high-odour steps for times when the family is out. We are dog-friendly and cat-friendly — just tell us names and personalities.

Yes — the paint manufacturer warranty passes directly to you. Most premium paints we use carry a ten-year manufacturer warranty against fade, peel and blister.

Yes — seamlessly. We prepare contractor registration, NOCs, work permits, insurance certificates and HSE submissions for NAKHEEL (Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Park, Jumeirah Islands, The Gardens), EMAAR (Downtown, Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, Emirates Living) and TRAKHEES (Jebel Ali, DWC, Dragon Mart). You sign once — we handle every form, follow-up and approval with the developer and community management team.

Typically 2 to 3 days from arrival to final walkthrough — prep day, paint day, and clean-up / touch-up day.

Absolutely. We phase the work room-by-room, use low-VOC paint, and keep the non-working areas clean and accessible at all times.

We use child- and pet-safe low-VOC paints as default. We also isolate work rooms with proper plastic sheeting so curious kids and cats stay out of wet paint.

Interiors can be painted any month — climate-controlled spaces are stable year-round. For exteriors, October through April gives the best drying conditions.

Yes. Our in-house color consultant visits and brings large-format samples so you can see how the color reads in your own Dubai light.

Clear small personal items from shelves and dressing tables. Everything else — furniture, curtains, pictures — can stay. We protect or carefully move it ourselves.

At the end of every day we vacuum, wipe down surfaces, remove all tape and sheeting from work areas, and take our waste with us. You should never find paint flecks or debris after we leave.
