Thank you.

Hi all i would like to ask something about to do with house painting, does anyone of you check your wall using the Moisture Test by MyPainter? My first time seeing it hahaha. Anyone knows whats the purpose of it? i dont really knows much about paintings.

my contractor quoted me RM 2.8k including paint for my 674 sqft condo - wall and ceiling only. RM500 additional for grills and doors.

Seems a bit overpriced for me... Thinking if i should go ahead with that.

Moisture Test is to check your wall condition, whether is it too high or low. From there they will think for a solution to fix it to prevent any problems in future. Is good that they do that, some other painters they never even use the moisture test and just do the paint, thats why i dont really simply call normal painters to paint my house. Rather pay abit more expensive for a professional painter to do the whole thing.

Anyone engaging Charlie Yan please keep a tight check on his workers. Overall his service is not bad but from experience, some of his workers take short cut sometimes e.g. I felt they diluted the paint too much so coating wise is not that great. I guess diluted paint is easier and faster to work with and these people want to finish quickly so that they can move on to the next job. Also, if you don't supervise closely, some (not all of them) will say already done 2 coating but in fact did only one. I had one large can of ICI paint left over and not even opened yet..they only used 3 cans to paint the whole 900+ sqft condo. Charlie had told me to buy 4. I had pmed another of Charlie's customer to ask about service quality but that guy didn't reply me until my painting job was over. He too told me he wasn't satisfied but didn't state why.

However, i do commend them for other quality e.g. their painting is quite neat, paint are not dripping on floor here and there when they do work, workers are punctual to work and friendly.

i thought of finding cheap and affordable painters to help to paint my house but this is one of the main example i am worried. Sometimes is good to just find abit more expensive paint job for the quality.

if you really consider about good quality and painters and dont really care about the price. I think mypainter is good. So far i didnt heard any bad news about them, mostly good news.

Can you pm me your painter uncle contact number? Thanks yah..

the only way to ensure good quality painting is 1) educate yourself, 2) supervise by yourself.

failing which, develop a relationship with a towkay / contractor / worker, and hope he does not cheat you !

even the 'uncle' is dependent on his worker (and check if the workers are hired on a contract basis or permanent basis).

Painting shouldn't be a problem cause its quite standard job. Important thing is you don't get overcharged. If you want to compare prices go to kaodim.com its a fairly new website. Read about them on the Edge and rakyatpost. You submit a request for whatever service you're looking for and you get introductions and quotes from several contractors who can do the job for you. So you compare, read profiles etc. All free and really quick responses. I've used them twice now and started a reno job with one of their contractors. So far all very satisfied.

how much if painting shop 800sqft ?

hire a foreign worker, give him a roller and a tub of matex and get it done in a day.

worker = RM80 a day
roller = RM10
matex = RM60
plastic sheet = rm45

less than RM200.

Ask them;

what sort of paint ? even branded paint like nippon have different ranges high end eg low voc.

are they going to wash the wall before they paint? maybe no need if clean.

are they going to put primer / base paint so that the paint will last for a long time ? maybe no need if existing paint work is good.

are they going to paint three layers so that the colour comes out well ? maybe no need if same colour.

grill and wood use different type of paint. is a good or cheapo paint ? primer ?

are they going to guarantee that the paint does not drip to the floor when they paint the wall / ceiling ? ideally use tape at the edges so that don't make mistake when they paint the edges.

many questions to ask.....

ask them to give you their previous client phone no and chat.



i'm quite sure you can do better if you hire and supervise the workers directly. however if you are time pressured, than maybe its better to pay lah.

good luck.
