Why choose us for painting in Dubai?
- Vahid Khan, our lead painter, brings 11 years of Dubai apartment and villa experience. He's the eye behind the finish that earns our 6-month warranty.
- Furniture genuinely protected. Plastic sheeting, edge masking, floor protection. Most Google reviews mention how the apartment looked when we left.
- On schedule. Dubai apartment painting often clashes with move-out deadlines. We deliver to the day promised — or we eat the difference.

"The skill in painting isn't the brush — it's the prep. Two hours of sanding and filling makes the difference between a finish that lasts six months and one that peels in three. That's what we charge for, and that's what the warranty covers."— Vahid Khan, Lead Painter & Decorator

Frequently asked questions about painting in Dubai
How much does painting cost in Dubai?
Painting in Dubai starts from AED 99 for a callout. A single room repaint (2 coats) typically costs AED 450–900. A 1-bedroom apartment full repaint runs AED 1,800–3,500. Villas are quoted on-site after measurement. Paint is supplied at supplier cost — usually Jotun, Asian Paints or Berger.
What paint do you use?
We work with all the major Dubai-available brands — Jotun, Asian Paints, Berger, Dulux and National Paints. For interiors we default to washable matte or silk emulsion. For villas and exteriors we use weather-resistant systems suited to Dubai's UV and humidity. You choose colour and brand; we supply at cost.
Do you protect furniture during painting?
Yes. Every job includes covering furniture with plastic sheeting, masking floors, sockets and switches, and full clean-up at the end. For occupied apartments we coordinate room-by-room so you keep using the space. Customers regularly mention furniture protection in our Google reviews.
How long does an apartment repaint take?
A 1-bedroom apartment full repaint typically takes 2–3 working days. A 2-bedroom takes 3–4 days. A 3-bedroom takes 4–5 days. We can compress timelines for end-of-tenancy moves with a slightly larger crew at the same rate.
Do you handle end-of-tenancy painting?
Yes — this is one of our most frequent jobs. We can complete most 1 to 3-bedroom apartments in 2–4 days, work to a Dubai handover-friendly white or beige spec, and provide an invoice your landlord will accept against the security deposit deduction.
Can you paint villas in Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills?
Yes. We service all major Dubai villa communities including Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills, Palm Jumeirah, Al Barari and Jumeirah Park. Villa painting includes exterior weather-resistant systems and interior multi-room coordination. Quoted on-site after a survey.
What about exterior painting in Dubai's heat?
Exterior painting in Dubai needs UV-resistant elastomeric paints and the right time of year. We schedule exterior work for October–April when temperatures are workable. For emergencies during summer we work in shaded sections at dawn and dusk. All exterior systems carry a 12-month finish warranty.
Do you offer a painting warranty?
Yes. Interior painting carries a 6-month finish warranty (peeling, flaking, colour stability). Exterior painting carries a 12-month warranty on the finish. Workmanship is covered for the same period. If there's an issue from our work, we come back and repaint at no charge.
