Common Questions About Residential Painting
Everything you need to know before your project starts
How long does interior painting take?
It depends on the scope: a single room typically takes 1-2 days, a full apartment 3-5 days, and a complete house 5-10 days. This includes prep work, multiple coats, and drying time. We provide specific timelines in your quote based on your project.
Do I need to move out during painting?
For most interior projects, no! We can work room-by-room so you can stay in your home. With low-VOC paints and proper ventilation, odours are minimal. For full-house exteriors, you don’t need to move out at all as we work exclusively outside.
What prep work is included?
All necessary prep work is included: filling cracks and holes, sanding surfaces, cleaning walls, protecting furniture and floors, masking trim and fixtures, and applying primer where needed. Extensive repairs beyond normal prep may be quoted separately.
How do you protect my furniture?
We use heavy-duty drop sheets to protect floors and furniture. Larger items are moved to the centre of the room and covered. We can also help move furniture if needed (within reason). Everything is carefully protected before any work begins.
How do you protect my furniture?
All necessary prep work is included: filling cracks and holes, sanding surfaces, cleaning walls, protecting furniture and floors, masking trim and fixtures, and applying primer where needed. Extensive repairs beyond normal prep may be quoted separately.
What paint brands do you use?
As a Dulux Accredited Painter, we primarily use premium Dulux products which offer excellent coverage, durability, and a wide colour range. We also work with Porters Paints for specialty finishes and can accommodate specific brand requests.
Do you offer eco-friendly options?
Yes! We use low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints as standard on all residential projects. These paints have minimal odour, are healthier for your family and pets, and are better for the environment. Dulux offers excellent low-VOC options across its range.
What's included in the warranty?
Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers peeling, flaking, or blistering caused by application issues. It doesn’t cover damage from external factors (physical damage, moisture problems, structural issues). Any warranty concerns are addressed promptly and professionally.
How do I choose the right colours?
That’s what our free colour consultation is for! We assess your space, discuss your preferences, and recommend colours based on lighting, furnishings, and your goals. We provide test pots so you can see colours on your walls before making final decisions.
Can you paint just one room?
Absolutely! We’re happy to paint single rooms, though there may be a minimum charge. Many clients start with high-impact rooms, such as living areas or main bedrooms, then tackle additional rooms later. We’re flexible to your needs and budget.
Do you work on weekends?
Yes, we can accommodate weekend work for residential projects, though it may incur additional scheduling fees. Saturday work is more common; Sunday work is by special arrangement. We’re flexible to work with your schedule.
What about odour and fumes?
Our low-VOC paints have minimal odour compared to traditional paints. With proper ventilation (opening windows), most odours dissipate within hours. Rooms are usually usable the same evening we finish, though we recommend ventilating overnight for best results.
How long before I can use the room?
Dulux paints typically dry to the touch within 2 hours. You can move furniture back the same day, but we recommend waiting 24 hours before placing items against walls. Full cure takes 2-4 weeks, during which you should be gentle when cleaning walls.
