When Do You Need Sealer For Painting
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. 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? 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)

Choosing Paint Colours For Your Home Can be a Headache
Having headache choosing colour for your walls? To tell the truth, 60% of our clients do not have any idea which colour to choose for their house. So thank God that our contractors know how to choose the most suitable paint colours for your walls.
Here is how we choose the colours:
1) Natural lighting. Depending on the direction your house faces, we will choose the colour accordingly. Reflection also part a part in it too. Please note that Feng Shui is not part of it.
2) Furniture theme: Your overall outlook of your furniture will help us in determining the colours. Please note that if furniture are not there, we are not able to make appropriate recommendations, but you can always tell us the theme or even show us pictures of the furniture you are going to purchase.
3) Floor. Most floor types in Singapore are using wood or marble. And the colour of the floor will be a factor as well.
4) Height of ceiling. This is the most unknown fact in choosing colour for your walls.
That will be all for the choosing the most suitable colour for your house walls. Of course this can only be done when our contractors are there (your home or place of painting) will we be able to advise on the colour of the walls.
Good news is that we offer a free no obligation viewing for your house. There is no charges for the viewing, but if you want to make it up to us, please offer a coffee or tea to our contractors when viewing.
