Have a question? Ask an expert!

There are 2 approaches that may work for you. The first one – when the interior is getting dated, the walls are not as clean as you would like them to be, or the surface shows signs of cracks, impacts or deformation (e.g. due to moisture).

The second approach – whenever you are already engaged in a significant renovation (e.g. ceiling, flooring, furniture replacement or windows and doors installation). Whichever approach you take, make sure you get in touch with the construction company beforehand.

Paint types

Be aware of the paint type. Different surfaces may require a different type of paint. Same goes for the painting approach – it may differ based on the paint type and different tools may be required.

Experience

Pick the right contractor. The experienced contractor possesses the right tools to do the job in the quickest way possible and knows which paint is right for a given material. Always try to pick a company with a good set of finalised projects and referrals.
