Painting your room is a very tedious yet fun to do.  It involves a lot of careful and detailed planning.  The most exciting part of painting your room is probably the process of choosing the correct color for you.  Once you have chosen a color, preparation of the materials to be used is the next step.

If you will not be able to hire paint contractor, you may paint your own room but you must first know the rules and regulations that accompanies it.

1) Paint the highest part of your place first. Having said that, the ceiling must be your first priority. After painting the ceiling, you may move on to the walls and then lastly to the floor. This is to avoid spills that come from higher places that ruin the paint on the lower area.

2) Before you start painting, make sure that the area is clean. Sweep and brush the dust away. Make sure that the surface is glossy or has an even. This will allow the paint to seep better or thoroughly which will result to a better adhesion.

3) If there are holes and cracks, filling them with putty before you start painting is a good idea. It helps hide the holes and cracks, making the paint look flawless.

4) If the ceiling, walls and floors have stains or irremovable dirt on them, painting over the stain will not do the trick. You have to hide the stain first by using a stain blocking primer. It will stop the stain from seeping through the color of your paint.

5) Choose quality products only. If you think that you will be able to save money by buying secondhand tools or low quality paint, think again. Aside from getting a poor outcome of your project, usage of low quality paint will only make your walls deteriorate faster. If you choose high quality paint, the result is incomparably better and the effect is long lasting. You don’t have to repaint over and over again which is more expensive than buying good quality products, and your time saved too.

Painting your place interior home is a very rewarding experience, though most Singaporean will not be painting if it’s exterior walls.  Make sure to follow the above correct procedure to attain the best result.

If you are not comfortable or lazy to DIY painting your home, do consider us.

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)

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.
