Apartment Painting Services

Short answer is yes you can. However, we highly recommend all customers to seek alternative accomodation for the entire period that we are painting.

If the house interiors are being painted while the house is still occupied, it is strongly recommended that you wait for between two and three days to allow the fresh paint to dry and for its fumes to slowly subside.

This is, particularly, necessary for people with respiratory problems and allergies. If the property’s occupants are elderly, it is recommended that you allow several days before you move back in.

The fumes from the fresh interior painting aren’t generally conducive for the vulnerable or those with poor health.

If the property is vacant (no furniture), then you don’t need to do anything! As long as there is power to the property, we’ll take care of all prep work before we start painting

If the apartment is occupied, preparations are required to protect your prized items before painting commences.

For instance, the furniture should be removed and covered. You should also remove the appliances, electronics, ornaments, paintings, and ensure the soft furnishings are well protected.

The walls should be cleaned and prepped. Give us a call on 1300 044 206 to discuss what prep work is required for your occupied apartment.

For interior apartment painting, it is generally advisable to go for the more neutral colour tones such as beige, grey, or off-white colours.

If you are painting the interior of a house that you will stay in, you will have lots of leeway to personalise your colour selections. For instance, you can opt for the warm-toned or cool-toned colours.

You can also choose clear or more muted colours. The colour choice will also depend on the type of room being painted. We provide a free colour consultation service on every quote to find what your preferences to match you with the best colour palette.

Depending on your budget and personal preferences, there are different types of paints that you can use for your house interiors. The choice is between latex and oil-based paints. Most of the standard paint is water-based or acrylic/latex paint.

These give you a somewhat flat finish on your interior walls without any glare. These also dry quickly and are the cheapest paints. Water-based paints can also conceal the minor imperfections on the wall.

On the other end of the spectrum are the premium quality gloss paints or oil-based paints with various finishes such as egg shell, satin and semi-gloss that give you various degrees of shininess. These are mostly used for trim detailing. Our professional Melbourne interior house painters use the highest quality paint. If you need advice on the best paint to use for your interior home painting and the pros and cons of each paint, give us a call today.

Our professional painting service involves detailed work including prepping the surfaces to be painted, taping the edges, covering the floors, rearranging and covering the furniture and so forth.

Every apartment has slightly different layouts, wall prep requirements, number of coats, and the weather all play a role in how long it takes to complete your apartment paint.

On average, a 1 bedroom/studio apartment takes 2-4 days. And a 2 bedroom apartment takes 3-5 days to complete.

The cost to paint interior of house is often one of the nagging factors for many homeowners. The cost to paint a room is charged per square meter or per hour.

It will also vary depending on whether you wish to use a single colour or multiple colours, the amount of prep and trim work required, and the type of paint and finishes that you want.
