Quotes and prices
How do I get a painting quote?
Send photos of the rooms or walls, your area in Doha and what you want painted on WhatsApp (+974 6644 7100), or call +974 5038 8040. Larger jobs such as full villas get a site visit before the final written quote.
Can you quote from photos?
For single rooms and small jobs, often yes. For full apartments and villas we usually visit first, because wall condition and access change the price.
What should a painting quote include?
Each area, the preparation, paint brand and product, number of coats, whether paint is included, protection and clean-up, the timing and the payment schedule. See how painting quotes work for what to send us.
Is paint included in the quote?
Your written quote states whether paint is included and which brand and product will be used.
QUESTIONS
Timing and planning
How long does painting take?
A single room is often finished in a day. A two-bedroom apartment usually takes a few working days, and a villa interior around a week, depending on preparation, number of coats and drying time. Your quote states the expected number of days.
Can you paint in summer?
Yes. Interior painting works year-round in air-conditioned rooms. Exterior painting in summer needs care, because high heat and direct sun can make paint dry too fast, so outdoor work is planned for cooler hours and suitable exterior paints are used.
What do I need to do before the painters arrive?
Clear small items, wall hangings and anything fragile from the rooms, and tell us which furniture stays. Make sure we can access the building and parking. Your quote states how floors and furniture will be protected.
Can you paint offices and shops outside opening hours?
Tell us your opening hours and we will plan the work to reduce disruption.
QUESTIONS
Renting and buildings
Do I need permission from my landlord or building?
If you rent, get written landlord approval before changing wall colours, because many leases require neutral walls at move-out. Apartment towers in areas like West Bay, The Pearl and Lusail often need contractor approval and set work hours, so check with building management first.
What colour should walls be when I move out?
Usually the original colour, often white or off-white. Check your lease and move-in report. See move-out painting.
Which areas do you cover?
We work across Doha, including West Bay, The Pearl, Lusail, Al Waab, Al Rayyan, Al Sadd, Al Thumama, Al Wakrah, Muaither, Abu Hamour and Al Gharrafa. See all areas we serve, or ask on WhatsApp if your area is not listed.
QUESTIONS
Paint and finishes
Which paint brands do you use?
We agree the paint brand, product and finish with you, and write them into the quote.
Which finish should I choose?
Matt or low-sheen finishes suit living rooms and bedrooms. Washable or satin finishes suit kitchens, hallways and children’s rooms. Bathrooms need moisture-resistant paint.
Can you match my existing wall colour?
Yes. Share the paint name or code if you have it, or we can match the current colour on site. This is common for touch-ups and move-out painting where the walls must look the same as before.
Do you offer a warranty or aftercare?
Aftercare terms are written into your quote before work starts.
