Painting is no longer just about applying paint.

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. Anti-mould formulas are best for interior rooms, especially in coastal areas such as Al Khan and the Corniche.
Yes, you need to get approval from Sharjah Municipality to paint the exterior of a villa or building, especially if the color is to be changed. Your painter will need to submit a color scheme. Approval usually takes 3 to 5 days. Painting without permission can result in a fine of up to AED 50,000.
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.
Professional painters work year-round, but from June to August, exterior painting starts early in the morning (before 10 am) when the temperature is below 40 degrees. In extreme heat, the paint does not adhere properly. Interior work usually continues with AC on. Many painters work at cheaper rates during the summer.
A typical painting package includes cleaning the walls, filling small cracks, applying primer, two coats of paint, and basic cleaning. Furniture removal, major repairs, woodwork, and premium paint are priced separately. Always ask for a detailed quote before starting work that spells out everything.
Remove small furniture, decorative items, and pictures from the walls. Cover large furniture with sheets. Sweep the floors in the rooms where painting is to be done. If there is AC on the walls, remove it. Secure valuables and papers. The rest of the security work is done by professional painters themselves, but your preparation will speed up the work.
Waterproofing before painting in buildings that are more than 5 years old or that have signs of moisture. This will prevent future paint peeling and fading. This is essential for bathrooms, kitchens and exterior walls. Waterproofing costs an additional Dh15 to Dh20 per square metre, but saves money on frequent painting.
Yes, you can, but even with low-odor paint, there will be a smell. Consider staying somewhere else while painting the bedroom. Young children or those with respiratory problems should stay away from freshly painted rooms for 48 to 72 hours. With good ventilation, the smell should dissipate significantly within 24 hours.
Good painters offer a minimum of a 12-month warranty, which covers paint peeling, peeling or discoloration under normal conditions. Premium services offer a 2 to 3-year warranty. The warranty does not cover damage caused by water leakage, impact or excessive carelessness. Make sure to get the warranty terms in writing before you pay.
Paint interior walls with a good paint every 4 to 6 years. Exterior walls, which are exposed to the intense Sharjah sun, need to be painted every 2 to 3 years. High-use areas such as hallways and children’s rooms may need a touch-up every 2 years. Regular maintenance will help the paint last longer.
Yes, low and zero VOC paints are available from major suppliers. Brands such as Dulux Diamond and Jotun Lady offer eco-friendly options that are suitable for children’s rooms and homes with allergies. They cost 20 to 30 percent more than regular paint, but the indoor air quality is greatly improved.
