FAQ

The number of coats required to paint a house will depend on a number of factors, including the type of paint being used, the condition of the surface, and the desired finish.

For new construction, typically three coats are applied, a primer coat and two finish coats. The primer helps to seal and prepare the surface for the finish coat, and the finish coat provides the final colour and sheen.

For repainting a previously painted surface, it may only require one coat of paint if the existing paint is still in good condition and has been well-maintained. However, if the existing paint is in poor condition, peeling or chalking, or if you want to change the colour, it may require two coats to achieve a smooth and even finish. It’s also worth noting that for darker colours, more coats may be necessary to achieve full coverage, as darker shades may require more paint to cover the surface.

The amount of time it takes to paint a 3-4 bedroom house will depend on a number of factors, such as the size of the house, the condition of the walls, the number of coats required, and the number of painters working on the job.

Generally speaking, it can take anywhere from several days to a couple of weeks to paint a 3-4 bedroom house. However, you can expect that it should take 5-7 days, assuming that the walls are in good condition, for the project to be completed. However, if the walls are in poor condition and need extensive preparation, or if multiple coats are required, the time frame can be longer.

No, we do not paint furnished interiors. There are several reasons why we do not offer this service:

1. Protection of Furniture and Belongings: Painting a furnished interior can pose a significant risk to the furniture and belongings within the space. Paint splatters or spills can damage upholstery, wood, and other surfaces. Removing all furniture from the area is often impractical for clients.

2. Incomplete Coverage: Painting around furniture can lead to incomplete coverage and uneven results. It's challenging to reach all the nooks and crannies when furniture is in place, resulting in a less professional finish.

3. Safety Concerns: Painting in a furnished space can be hazardous, as it increases the risk of tripping or knocking over objects, potentially causing injuries to the workers and damage to the client's belongings.

4. Limited Access: Painting behind large or heavy furniture can be difficult, leading to difficulties in reaching all areas of the room effectively. This can result in a subpar paint job.

5. Time and Efficiency: Painting around furniture can significantly slow down the painting process, making it less efficient and potentially more costly for the client.

6. Client Convenience: Clients often find it more convenient to have their furniture temporarily removed from the space to ensure a smooth and thorough painting job. This way, they can also protect their valuable belongings from potential damage.

In summary, for the best results and to ensure the safety and protection of your furnishings and belongings, we recommend clearing the area of furniture before we begin the painting process. This allows us to provide you with a high-quality, professional paint job that meets your expectations.
