While our standard options provide excellent quality, opting for premium paints with specialised benefits, such as advanced odourless technology, enhanced durability, or specific luxury finishes, will naturally involve a different investment.
Scope of Work
Our standard quotations typically cover walls and ceilings, but if your vision extends to include painting doors, door frames, windows, grilles, or pipes, the price will be tailored accordingly. We ensure every surface is transformed precisely to your requirements.
Additional Services
Should your 3-room HDB flat require additional services, these will also affect the final quotation. This can include more detailed surface preparation, such as patching minor cracks, treating mould issues, or extensive, comprehensive protection for your furniture and belongings.

Beyond the core calculations, certain specifics about your flat's layout and your chosen paint scheme can subtly influence the total paint coverage and overall paint quantities:
- Ceiling Coverage: Our estimates for ceiling paint typically encompass all overhead surfaces in the dining area, bedrooms, living room, storeroom, kitchen (ceiling only), and bathrooms (ceiling only).
- Balcony Painting: Please note that painting the balcony area is generally not included in these standard estimates.
- Paint Type & Colour Consistency: These estimates assume the use of the same paint type and colour consistently throughout the specified areas of your flat.
