We Do Not Provide Monthly Installment For Painting Services
For the past few months, we have painting services clients asking for installment for the services we are providing. We are not able to do so as we do not have any collaboration with any of the banks here in Singapore.
Here are some of the reasons why we do not take up installment:
1) We pay our laborers in a week. Due to the natural of the service, a very labour intensive one, we have to pay our workers according to how many days they work every week. The banks are not able to pay us this fast.
2) The banks will draw commission from the installment plan. Every bank will draw a certain percentage of commission from the amount that is being charge. We will not be able to profit much after using installment plan. I guess most of you will not be willing as well.
I hope you understand our position, where our work is very labour intensive and time consuming. This does not mean that we will not use credit card installment in the future. We might consider or continue to use the current system. It will depend on the market needs.

Labour Only Painting Services (No Longer Available)
This Service is no longer available
We do provide labour only painting services in our company. As more and more were asking for this service, I did ask our customers why they want to use the labour only painting services, and here are their answers:
1) I got cheaper paint from someone.
2) I still have paint left over from the previous paint job.
We are okay to go ahead with using the paints which are purchased or left overs. Because from what I see, is that the paints may most probably be expired. Well not actually expired but more of the loss of the original colour as it was used before, or even worse… some that are a few years old that even have dents on the paint container.
This may even led to further implication like different colours on different walls, if you intend to use the same colours for the walls. This has happened to us recently, so I like to bring this up to help you understand what are the problems we are facing.
Most of the time we have bad experiences with customers who wants to use labour only painting services. Now we have solutions for the problem:
a. We have to confirm with our customers that the paint is enough for all the walls and ceilings (sometimes the paint were not enough due to miscalculation). That is why we have a policy to view your home or office or building, that is no obligation. Our consultant will be able to advise you on how many containers to purchase or needed for your home.

b. The paint are to be ready latest by the day BEFORE the painting starts. As our workers are paid in daily basis, we would request that the customers to follow our time schedule, to avoid more cost from both sides.

Why Using Cheap Painting Services In Singapore Is a Bad Idea
There are good reasons why you should avoid using cheap painting services in Singapore, and how it will not benefit you after the service is completed.
Reason 1: Most of the workers are not legal in Singapore
This is the main reason why they are able to offer you is because they use illegal workers, and they pay them very low in their labor. From what I know for those working in the construction site, they are getting less than $30 a day for the super hard work. It’s not much. Some of them came from the construction site (doing part time on the weekends), some do not even have a working pass to work or stay in Singapore.
Note that even if they have a working pass to work here, the pass is only meant for the work they initially applied in, if they are in the construction or road works, then painting services is not not for them to work in.
You as the employer of the painting job or service, may not be penalize by employing them, but the work may be left unfinished when they are caught. And you have to employ the legal painting workers to finish up the incomplete work. This alone may have cost your time and money.
Reason 2: The paints have problems
The second reason is that some of the painting contractors may have some old paints or cheap paints that are not authorized to be use in Singapore. They are very cheap to use and even have the same features as some of the popular paint bands in Singapore. But the reason why it is not authorized is because Singapore government did not approve of the paint element, which might be harmful to human or living things.
Here are the two main reasons why some company offer cheap painting services. Bear in mind that they are also human, and they just want to fill their stomach and to survive in Singapore which has an expensive lifestyle here.
Always find good reliable painting contractors that is registered with the Singapore government, and that it has good customers testimonies. If you are interested to use our painting services, do contact us via the contact form, click contact us for no obligation viewing here.
How Much It Cost To Paint One Wall In My House?
Recently, I realised that a lot of people are calling in to ask how much it will cost to paint a wall or two in their home. To answer and give our reasons why is it this way, below are breakdowns:
How Much To Paint a Wall?
Basically the price of painting a wall or two is the same as painting one room, which range from $350 onwards. Read Price For One Room Painting Services.
Reason For Fixing At This Price?
The main reason why it’s priced $350 onwards for a wall, its because the price for the paint and the workmanship is fixed. For the workmanship, we will still require one man to do the job and is included the time and transportation to your house.
I hope that you will understand that we are still doing a business. And we will advise that you DIY painting yourself, as its one wall only and its not practical to engage us in painting one wall only.
Price For One Room Painting Services
I have been receiving calls on “How much it cost to paint for a room in my house?” I will ask them a couple of questions before answering them, here are my questions:
- What is the type of house you have?
- Which room do you want to paint?
- How many colour do you want in the one room?
- What is the type of paint you intend to use for your wall?
There are reasons why I ask them these questions, because so that I can answer their question on the price for painting for a room. As all these questions will help me know what is the size of the room, how many container of paint I will need to paint the one room, and the type of paint they want to use.
All these questions revolve around the pricing of painting one room. It will largely depend of the type of paint (high or normal price range), and how many container of paint are require (number of colours) that will determine the price.
Whereas for the worker’s fee is fix, around S$250/per room (include fee for worker and company). So the range for painting a room in Singapore is from S$350 onwards, for 1 colour and 1 white colour for the ceiling in a single HDB room. For living room, it will range $350 ~ $500.
The best way is to let our painting consultant to have an appointment with you, and discuss what you want. The viewing is free and no obligation. Click Painting Contractor Appointment to fix date with us.
I hope this answer the question on “How much it cost to paint for a room”.
What Colour Should I Use For My House?
Do you help recommend colour for my house? This is the newest question that I found while talking to customers. Basically we do recommend colour to your home.
It boils down to the type or style of home you intend to have. Another factor is the furniture, they will also determine the type of colour you should use.
Colour Selection On Style
Depending on which style you prefer, take me for example I like Japanese style and plain simple type. I will use white as the base, and for furniture will use mike white, light gray, a bit of black in the furniture. Of course, this will also mean that the other things that are in the house will also help blend in the colour combination.
For best result, it’s better to engage a home designer who can consult you in your prefer type of style.
Colour Selection Depending On Furniture
There are two scenarios, one is that you have not purchase the furniture yet, the other is that you already have the furniture.
Choosing the furniture first will be a better idea, as it will be easy for you to determine which colour to use. After you have purchased the furniture, you will be left with the limited colours that are suitable for your house with the purchased furniture.

No matter, remember to be flexible as there will also a way to help you decide the best choice of colour for your home. Our painting contractors will be able to help you choose the suitable colour for your home.
