For landed property owners, you will want to consider painting your house exterior every 5 years, as most of the exterior paints they give the 5 years warranty. That also explains why HDBs do a make over every five years.

But there is a slight problem for some landed property owners, especially for those living near the coastal lines or sea.

It is main due to the natural erosion called the sea water or salt water. Although the sea will not be the one hitting on the walls of the property, but the moisture or the vapor from the sea that will be the one causing the problem. It has been known that salt water increase the rate of erosion.

The exterior paints will not be able to last long, and why coastal properties tend to be so much more expensive than those more in lands and high in maintenance fees too. From our experience, the most it will last is 3 or 4 years depending on the situation too.

You might ask what happens for the interior wall painting? Is it the same as the exterior?

Yes it faces the same destiny as long as you are near the sea. So we are not able to offer the 2 year warranty for your interior painting as well.

Note: All painting contractors can give the 5 years warranty for your exterior wall, as long as it’s not near the sea. If they do not provide the 5 year warranty even if you live in land, don’t do not use them.

If you are living in a landed property like Semi-D, Terrace house and Bungalow, you may know that doing a painting job is very expensive for landed properties.

As most of the Singaporeans lived in HDBs or condos, the painting cost can be estimated range from our past work with thousands of HDBs and condo homes. You can view HDB painting costs and condo painting costs here.

The cost of painting a landed property can go as high as $15,000. It was due to a couple of reasons that made made it so costly.

Reasons Why Painting Landed Properties Are So Costly:

1) Exterior Wall Painting: This is the main reason why painting a landed property is so much costly than a HDB and condo. Because the exterior walls are subjected to weather, and thus corrosion is at it’s best with weather. As Singapore is a tropical island where raining occurs a lot of time throughout the year, with the strong sun acting on the exterior walls, all the more you need strong lasting paint that can protect your exterior wall. One thing to note is that the more sides u have for your exterior walls, the more it will cost.

2) Scaffolding: It’s part of the reason why exterior wall painting is so expensive is due to using of scaffolding for the landed properties. There are three types of scaffolding painting contractors generally use.

3) Two Or More Levels: Most of the landed properties in Singapore are usually 2 levels, though we have painted one and three levels properties before. It just means that there are more interior walls to paint. The more wall surfaces in your house the more labour and paint we have to buy. Some landed properties have lots of extra interior walls, thus increase in the cost as well.

I know that if I tell you that painting your landed property cost about $15K, you will not consider doing it. But the thing is that not all the landed property will reach that price either. For landed property we would actually insist on viewing before quoting, as we not able to give quote without physically view and access the whole landed property.

There is another thing, the usual practice in Singapore is that most of the exterior painting will come with 5 years warranty, but this will not be given if your landed property is near to the coast or sea side, as the air around the coast is very salty making corrosion speeds up. So if there is some painting contractor giving you a 5 year warranty when your property is near the coast, please do be careful.

Finally a nice exterior painting finish will definitely boost up the value of your landed property and help increase the perceived value to much higher.

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…..

Painting the exterior part of your house is not common thing in Singapore. As the land is scarce and the government build our homes vertically (most are HDB flats). That means that painting a exterior building or house is not a daily work for us.

Usually its those who owned landed property will have to use exterior painting services for their houses. As painting exterior houses is different from painting interior houses, we will need to view the house exterior so that we can give an exact painting quotation for the house exterior.

Painting exterior houses will require more days than interior houses, due to weather and setting up of scaffoldings, which will take up some time.
