my first quote was rm 1.8k then final one was rm 1.2k @ 1.9k sq ft

My contractor charge me RM80 per day for painting. Doesn't matter paint wall, door, grill or anything. So the more day he paint the more it cost. My house is 3000 sqft and the total paint labour is about RM800 for 10 days of painting.

I really need this. Please PM contact info. Thank you.

I buy my own paint and the I pay for labour charge only.
RM150 per day.
1200sqft should expect completion less than 1 week depending on the condition.

This post is 7 years ago and I don’t have the contact anymore.

Wow..this is so pricey..I'm using Nippon paint easy wash and paint whole unit 1250 sq ft..only cost me around 2.8k

Would you happen to know of any more recent, comparable alternative? Thank you in advance.

Still in service?

Hi, im painting contractor..

I charged my customer RM 400 per day for 3 workers on site..

Usually a small apartment around 900sqft wall n ceiling can be done in 2 days..
if they want to paint grills and doors add another 1 days

sometimes if i need to rush i bring 4 people and if we lucky it can be done in 1 or 2 days..
thats were i raked in profits..

if the surface condition of the wall n ceiling doors n grills is so bad.. i will sugggest the customer do skim coating or remove the old paint altogether.. It may take some time and cost to do it...but the result is exceptional!..

For the paint itself..

If my customer wants me to buy the paint, i will charge them another RM 50 - 100 for transportation..No additional charge here and i will show the receipt if need be..

do visit my blog at www.zekpainter.blogspot.com

i pay RM100 per day for labour for painting.....however owner have to provide everything including lunch, transport, material like paint and brushes etc.....

I've sent you PM.

my wall with moisture condensation after rain, can it fixed by painting?

P/S: it is new plastered wall yet to paint

fix the leak first, then only paint.  if not the paint will have water mark / bubbles / fungus / moss due to leak not fixed.....

is it needed to wipe the walls first before painting? (after renovation-wiring = plaster ceiling)

fix the leak, maybe there are crevices / breakage outside - fill it in.

scrap the old paint out [use metal brush or chemical]

paint with primer

apply two layers of normal paint.

Become so complicated
Its a new hse with developer paint. But did wiring n plaster ceiling. Just that the walls for sure dusty. Cant just paint over or need to wipe?
