Hello,

I am renovating my house. Previously, my contractor quote me an amount to paint my whole house wall. Now he said my wall is not smooth, want to charge me additional RM5000 to smoothen my wall.

Is it normal that contractor charges us separately the smoothing part when he also quoted me separately me for painting and construct new walls?

Does RM5000 make sense for a 22 x 75 house.

I feel like it's too expensive and mcm kena up car like that.

no need said.. up car d.

painting whole house or just the newly constructed wall?

5k to smooth wall. How he gonna do it? sandpaper or plaster whole new wall? or use plaster paste to smooth it?

Your contractor got go on site to see first before quoting or not? If yes then contractor's fault for not checking properly

the time he quote the wall painting he no saw the wall condition?

Whole house interior and exterior.

Now he wants to charge to me addition to smooth the wall.

Think this is skim coating and sanding

I guess he didnt notice. He came to the house before quoting.

sack him

Painters paint with their tongue ah?

Conlanfirm want to scam you..

You said no need...I like how my wall to be rough as it is..

Using cement to smoothen is it? Best u can do is ask 2nd opinion, from other contractor. If not really upcar

5K for how many sqft?

Not sure. He didnt say it.

5,000?

Sudah kene con.

Now only say need skimming and sanding ?

Ask him go fly kite, go look for other painter.

The whole house 22 x 75.

not sure how many sqft exactly. living room, stairs area, bedrooms.

get other contractor lor. normally ppl will find 2-3 contractor to quote for reno works.

Bulging here and there, need to hack the walls and plaster back?
