FAQ

Which areas do you serve?

We only serve interior painting and plaster prep in Istanbul’s 25 European Side districts (not the Asian Side).

Do you paint exteriors?

No. We do not paint exteriors, insulated façades or decorative effects; we focus on flat interior paint and surface prep.

How many coats are standard?

On sound surfaces the typical system is 1 suitable primer coat + at least 2 water-based finish coats. Dark-to-light, some yellows/whites or stains may need a 3rd coat or pigmented primer; we follow the product label.

Is the online price final?

No. The calculator is a 2025–26 mid-band estimate (sound walls, primer+2 coats). Size, height, plaster, paint grade and furniture are confirmed on inspection.

Is plaster always required?

No. If there is no peeling, deep cracks or highly uneven/absorbent substrate, local putty may be enough. Full satin plaster is measured separately. Finish coats wait until plaster is dry, sanded and sealed with a suitable primer.

How long does paint smell last? When can we move back?

Water-based interior paints are low-odor, not odor-free. Touch-dry can be within hours; intercoat and full cure follow the TDS (often ~3 h between coats at 20°C; full cure longer). Ventilate well. Sensitive occupants may need extra time.

Do you supply materials? Which paint?

Quotes list materials and labor clearly. Economy matte (“plastic”) or washable silicone grades are chosen on inspection by budget and room use. Brand/product is agreed with you; we rely on wet-scrub class and correct application rather than vague year-lifetime claims.

How soon is inspection?

By district and workload; inspection is often within a few days on European Side addresses. Job duration is set on inspection (rooms, plaster, coat drying).
