A Comprehensive Guide

As a homeowner or business owner in Dubai, understanding the cost of painting services is essential. Whether you’re planning to refresh your interiors or give your building’s façade a new look, knowing the approximate expenses helps you make informed decisions. Let’s dive into the details:

Interior Painting Costs

1. Per Square Meter Pricing:

   • For typical interior painting, the cost ranges from AED 10 to AED 20 per square meter¹. This includes communal areas, corridors, and individual bedrooms.
   • Keep in mind that the type of paint (e.g., flat, satin, eggshell) and the condition of the walls can influence the final price.

2. Labor Costs:

   • Labor expenses constitute a significant portion of the overall cost. The number of painters required and the duration of the project affect the price.
   • Efficient preparation (cleaning, patching, sanding) can help control labor costs.

3. Materials and Quality:

   • The type and quality of paint impact the price. Premium paints are more expensive but offer better durability and a longer-lasting finish.
   • Double coats of paint are often recommended for optimal coverage and longevity.

Exterior Painting Costs

1. Full Exterior Repaint:

   • Exterior painting costs tend to be higher due to weather exposure and potentially larger areas.
   • The price typically ranges from AED 15 to AED 25 per square meter¹.

2. Factors Influencing Exterior Costs:

   • Surface Area: Larger surfaces require more paint and labor.
   • Preparation Work: Extensive prep (patching, sanding, filling cracks) increases costs.
   • Paint Quality: Invest in durable, weather-resistant paints.
   • Location: Living expenses in certain areas affect service prices.

3. Additional Considerations:

   • Color Consultation: If you need professional advice on color selection, factor in consultation fees.
   • Equipment and Tools: Brushes, ladders, primer, and transportation charges contribute to the overall cost.

Kitchen Cabinets and Small Tasks

1. Kitchen Cabinets:

   • Refinishing kitchen cabinets can add value to your home. Expect costs around AED 8000 for this specialized task².
   • Quality materials and skilled workmanship are crucial for a flawless finish.

2. Other Small Tasks:

   • Painting smaller areas (e.g., accent walls, trim) or specific features (doors, shutters) will have varying costs.
   • Discuss your requirements with professional painters to get accurate estimates.

Remember that these estimates serve as general guidelines. The actual cost depends on your specific project, location, and any additional services you may need. Always hire experienced painters who prioritize quality and customer satisfaction.
