you want indonesians to do it? call me

A standard size metal door frame is RM60-65 only.

BUT, to install it, 1st u need to bang the old one. And during such process, the plaster, the tiles next to the door frame sure gone.

Thus, replacing a door frame (complete with repairing the affected edges) would probably set you back about RM450.

And to replace 3 frames, would take around 2 days.

Added on January 31, 2008, 9:33 pmGetting a painter, indon, wage is around RM60 per day.

Equipment on them.

Exterior paint, only ICI & Nippon can live up to their claims of 5 years warranty. IF you follow strictly the procedure.

@-am_eniey
what's ur hp no?

@-scorgio
RM450 is for 3 set of door frames or only just 1?

Anyone tried painting whole house ? How much and how long?

Heard may cost up to 4k (including paint) for 5 days work !!

Depending on what kind of house, how big is it & how many storey.

Also local worker or foreign labour & what kind of paint?

My apartment @ 12xx sqf was painted by indonesian last week. Total cost is RM2300 (including paint, 3 colours) for 4 room, 2x toilet and kitchen. Including patching some holes and other random thing (eg. I ask them to remove ceiling fan, remove motor and seal it, etc). No undercoat required. Hope that helps with your estimation.

@-GraphicPlayground

can u plz upload the photos of ur apartment? btw what brand ru using? ICI, Nippon?

Sorry for the delay. Anyway, i haven't got a chance to snap a proper picture yet but here's a little bit of what i have.







Will upload more once i've done with the lighting.

Nice color combinations.

How long did the whole paint job take?

These painters make a lot of money .... few days = RMxxxx. One month = XX,XXX !!

wow.. it's a nice paint bru. ru using the ICI or Nippon paint?

Don't come to that conclusion so quickly.

U need to know how many painter working for how many days. And paint ain't cheap.

The colour will work fine with proper lighting. The job takes 4 days for the entire house. I use JOTUN and im satisfied with it. Well waeguk, painters might get XXXX amount of money per mth but come to think about it, how often did they get the job? its not like you are going to paint your house every month.

Actually everyone can paint on their own especially indoors ... it's just time and effort.

Those painters charge quite a lot for just labour. Considering the $$, it's not surprising to see many houses that need a paint job.

For outdoors, it's worth more to get these fellas to do the job.

Im considering to paint my exterior of my house. does anyone knows which

website provided the sample photos and combination color of the house? I

just found that one of indonesian guy offered me cheaper wages for painting.

My house under construction:

Dusty all over the house.


Kitchen

Since you mentioned the previous door frame was attacked by termites.., did you ask pest control to come in? or directly uses metal frames?
