Repainting an apartment: price, duration and preparation
Price, duration, furniture protection, wall preparation: what to anticipate before repainting an apartment.
To remember
- The price depends as much on the preparation as on the paint.
- An occupied apartment requires more organization.
- The estimate must specify the ceilings, layers and protection.
What influences the price
Repainting an apartment requires more than applying a colour. You have to protect the floors, move or cover the furniture, prepare the walls and organize drying between coats.
- Surface area and number of rooms.
- Ceilings included or not.
- Empty or occupied housing.
- Damaged, damp or already coloured walls.
Why Preparation Matters
The duration depends on the preparation. A clean wall can be painted quickly, but a cracked, greasy, or uneven wall requires more work before the final rendering.
Prepare the application well
In the request, specify if you are providing the paint, if the furniture is staying on site and if you want a particular finish. These details avoid last-minute discussions.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to repaint an apartment?
The duration depends on the number of rooms, the condition of the walls, the drying and the number of layers. A clear quote should mention these elements.
Should the apartment be emptied?
Yes, especially if the accommodation is occupied. The protection and movement of furniture must be provided.
