What for need to smooth the wall? I thought naturally its almost impossible to smooth the wall or is not worth it. Just paint it je lah…

If got a crack area i just use putty je to tampal and smoothen it and paint over it

typically, what they mean is, the wall is not smooth enough, after you paint, you still see some imperfection.

whats the difference with every other wall?
all walls have imperfections. why does TS need to pay an additional 5k to smoothen his?

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.

why the heck do you need to smoothen your walls?
usually the smoothing is done by the wet works (cement work) contractor. did your old wet work contractor run away?
rm5k is a lot. if he is saying the whole house punya wall all rough and not smooth, what the fuk? how did that happen? is it really all rough cement or just slightly not smooth?
<snipped for shorter quotes>
usually, if its already been painted before, you shouldnt need to resmoothen.

One point I think nobody mentioned is the finishing paint that you are using.

If you are using a glossy / shiny reflective paint, then skim coat is recommended. Else you will see all the uneven surfaces when light shines on the glossy paint.

If you use matt paint then uneven surface is not so obvious.
