When Do You Need Sealer For Painting in Singapore
Sealer or primer is primarily used when you are living in a new home (meaning you are the first owner), or when you have a wall that is prone to moisture, will you need sealer or primer for wall or ceiling painting services.
From our painting experiences, most of the Singapore homes will not really require sealer, but we do have some customers insisting on using sealant for their walls and our painting contractor will sometimes insist in using after the on-site viewing for painting. Here are our advise when you need to use sealant:
1) New Homes or House. Why new homes or houses need to use sealer is because sealer will neutralise the alkali on the walls before painting.
2) Moist Walls or Ceilings. Have you ever had your walls paint and after few months later, there are stains on your newly painted walls or ceilings, or even start to peel off? It’s a common sight and we had this experience before. When this happens then you will need to use the sealant to prevent the moisture from attacking the new paint over again.
3) Old Homes or Houses. This is when the homes or houses are over 20 years old then use the sealer.
There are two types of sealer, oil based sealer and water based sealer. Click on the links to find out which is more suitable for you.
Here are our price list for using sealer in HDB homes:
3 Room HDB: $250 (water based), $300 (oil based)
4 Room HDB: $350 (water based), $400 (oil based)
5 Room HDB: $450 (water based), $500 (oil based)
If you need help in deciding to use sealer, our painting contractors is able to advise you regarding painting your house, contact us for a no-obligation quotation.
Is Our Painting Company HDB Recognized?
The answer to the question above is no. We do not need to receive any recognition from the HDB departments in order to paint HDB flats, be it interior or exterior. Most of the painting contractors or companies are not recognized in Singapore. I have not heard before that HDB department recognized any painting companies in Singapore.
As long as we do not tear down any walls in the HDB flat, we are not required to have any license or recognition from the HDB boards.
This was asked by a customer inquiring on painting services yesterday, so I found it good to share with you all. However we are a private limited company and we are accountable to our clients and the S’pore Govt (if you know what we mean!) 
Paint Your House Before Chinese New Year
Time is really running fast this year, 3 weeks ago was only New Year for 2010 greetings from us, soon in 3 weeks’ time it will be Chinese New Year soon. So if you want to paint your house before Chinese New Year, now is the time to take action.
By the way, there are quite a few of the inquiries about Nippon Paint and ICI painting services – both companies have painting services that are just the same as us. The inquiries are about both the companies having a discount for using their painting services, or even giving out free vouchers for other related services.
Do take note that even IF there is a discount or vouchers for other related services, they will still add up (or subtract) to almost the same price as us. Our HDB painting services prices and condo painting services prices do have a distinct advantage over the two companies.
At the same we offer a 2 year warranty for using our painting services, whereas Nippon Paint offers only one year.
Yes, you might be thinking… Will your painting services be just as quality as the both of them? To answer this, we are just as good as Nippon Paint and ICI Paint.
In fact we are so confident that we can do just as good as them — that we offer a longer warranty than them.
You can always use our Free No Obligation House Viewing to decide. We are just as good too…..
P.S. You can download a Guide to Beautiful Paint Colour Combinations to help decide your paint colours. Make your home more beautiful this coming Chinese New Year!
Why Condo Painting Is More Expensive Than HDB Painting
A lot of enquiries on why condo painting services is more expensive than HDB. Here are the 3 main reasons why:
1) Renovation works are not allow after 5pm, and that includes painting services too. As Condo is a private estate, wanting to make sure that the condo residents are not disturb when they return back from work. They have this rule for all the renovation works and painting services. But for HDB flats, as long as its not disturbing the neighbors (with noise), it should be fine.
2) Painters are paid daily. Because of the work time limit enforce by the private condos, we are not able to work longer than the HDB flats. Thus adding to one or two additional day of work, which will be incur in the painting services costs.
3) Condo walls may be higher. This is also the reason why its more expensive. With additional area, meaning buying more paint to cover the additional area (in terms of height). Of course not all the Condos have high walls and ceilings, so that is why we offer a Free No Obligation Viewing For Painting Services.
We still offer the same quality of paint and workmanship no matter if you are living in a condo, HDB or landed property. With a 2 Year Guarantee, you have nothing to worry from, because we prided ourselves in giving the best quality and reliable painters in Singapore. Contact us now!

There were a couple of times, people wants to use 3 different colours in a room, so the price of the quotation will increase. If you are the one looking for few colours in your room, most properly you want to have some art on your walls. I will highly recommend doing mural wall painting instead.

Interior Painting Cost – HDB Type
As most of Singaporeans live in HBD flats (around 90%), we decided to go into HDB topic first. A lot of inquiries come from our past customers asking about the cost for painting their HDB home. I guess you are one of them, if not you will not be reading this now.
Generally, Singapore HDB flats are measured in square meter or square feet, depending on how many rooms you have. Here is the breakdown on the cost range of HDB flats:
- 3 Room HDB : Sing$600 ~ 1,100
- 4 Room HDB : Sing$700 ~ 1,250
- 5 Room HDB : Sing$1,000 ~ 1,300
As the above are the general types of rooms, an average Singaporean will live in. If you have a different type of HDB flat that needs painting, we do provide a free no obligation session. Click Here For Quotation Session.
Why is there a price range in every HDB category? Below are the breakdowns of the reason:
- Different Price For Different Types Of Paint – We use Nippon “Matex” for homes, “Matex” cost around Sing$20 ~ 25, whereas the other types of paint like “Odorless”, “Easy Wash with Teflon”, etc, will have at least Sing$65 and above. The difference of price is dependent on your choice of paint types.
- Newer Flats Tend To Be Smaller, Older Flats Tend To Be Bigger – As you realise that the older flats are much bigger than the newer ones. At one time, my friend who lived in a newer flat came to my house (older flat) using the toilet, commented that my toilets are much bigger than his. By the way, the new HDB flat designs are based on Hong Kong style.
To be fair to all, we will always send someone to your house for quotation. Its free and no obligation on your side, all we need from you is to confirm the date for the quotation session.
