FAQ

3 BHK painting cost — questions answered

  • How much exactly does it cost to paint a 3 BHK in Dubai?

    For a standard 3 BHK apartment in Dubai, the fixed-quote price is AED 3,499 to AED 5,500. The typical mid-range is AED 4,200 for a 130-150 sqm 3BR in Marina, JLT or Business Bay with two coats of premium emulsion across all three bedrooms and the common areas. Premium downtown apartments and double-height penthouses sit at the upper end.

  • How long does it take to paint a 3 BHK?

    Two working days for a standard 3 BHK. A 3-person crew prepares and paints the bedrooms first (day one), then common areas plus final touch-ups (day two). The apartment is fully ready by the evening of day two. Larger 3 BHKs (above 160 sqm) may need a third day for ceilings or feature work.

  • Can I live in my 3 BHK while it is being painted?

    Yes — most 3 BHK families stay through the project. We schedule bedrooms first so you have a clean, painted space to sleep in by night one. The whole apartment is low-odour (we only use water-based emulsions) so the air quality stays comfortable.

  • What about my kids' rooms — is the paint safe?

    Yes. We default to Jotun Fenomastic Hygiene for children's rooms — it is anti-bacterial, low-VOC, Greenguard Gold certified and safe to re-occupy the same evening. For nurseries we can specify the zero-VOC tier at no extra cost.

  • Do you cover the maid's room in the 3 BHK quote?

    The maid's room is usually quoted separately because it is small, often accessed differently, and many owners only repaint it during tenant turnover. Adding the maid's room to a 3 BHK package typically costs an additional AED 400-600 and adds half a day to the schedule.

  • Can I split my 3 BHK painting across two weekends?

    Yes. Many busy families split the work: bedrooms one weekend, common areas the next. The quote is held for 30 days and you can split the work however suits your schedule, with no price change.
