A typical 2-bedroom apartment in Sharjah costs between AED 1,600 and AED 2,200. This depends on the condition of the walls, the quality of the paint and the height of the ceiling. In older buildings where the walls need more preparation, it can cost up to AED 2,800. Most painters offer free estimates after viewing the property.

Jotun, Dulux and National paints are good in the intense heat and humidity of Sharjah. For exterior walls that are exposed to direct sunlight, use heat-resistant paints such as Jotun Juta Shield or Dulux Weather Shield. These prevent the paint from peeling and cracking.

A typical 3-bedroom villa takes 5 to 7 days to fully paint the interior and exterior. Larger villas or those with extensive renovations can take 10 to 14 days. In the summer, the weather can make it take longer for the paint to dry, adding 1 to 2 days.
