Frequently asked questions 👇
Most painting work is priced per m² or per room as a guide. Interior walls typically cost about R40 – R75 per m² in labour, or around R1,450 base per standard room, with ceilings at roughly R45 – R80 per m². Exterior residential walls usually start from about R750 for an assessment and scale at around R50 – R95 per m², while boundary walls run roughly R40 – R65 per linear metre and doors or windows about R750 for the first unit, then around R450 each. Paint is quoted separately. These are estimates, and surface prep, coats and paint quality drive most of the difference between quotes.
The change-over standard: washing scuffed walls, filling picture holes, repainting high-traffic walls or whole units in a durable washable paint, and refreshing kitchens and bathrooms where steam and grease age paint fastest. Using the same colour and product across your units makes touch-ups between full repaints quick and invisible.
A pro typically paints a standard room in 4–8 hours including prep, a full interior in 3–7 days, and an exterior in 4–10 days depending on size, surface condition, and weather. Drying time between coats is part of the job, not padding, so be wary of quotes promising half the time of everyone else.

I own a company and l only work on callout so I use Thulani for general work on all projects, he does painting, landscaping, and all cleaning that may be required to be done. I have used his services for many years and the guy is so obedient, l do trust him because he communicates very well, and l have paid him on my occasions before the job is done but he still comes to finish what he started. He was introduced to me by a friend in construction work, and l always refer him to other people when my company is not busy.
I have known Elymas for over 10years now. He has been painting my properties and he is very good. He is also reliable ,understanding and if for instance I want him to redo some area he would rectify it without complaining. He has good workmanship and he works with his two sons and they are hardworkers. His charges are very low and I told him he must stop undercharging himself espcially when you compare with the quality of his work. I highly recommend him
