4 signs your home needs a fresh coat of paint plus the 2 major benefits you’ll get from it
Updating your home’s paint might seem like quite the project, but it will be worth it.
We'd like to repaint our apartment (3 rooms) and a hall way. Two of the rooms have a floor area of around 15m2 and the other around 9m2 the hallway is 3m2. The paint is peeling off on some walls and there is need for some additional prep work in some areas where you can see 3 layers of old paint has chipped off. Most of the walls are in good condition. If possible I'd also like to screet the walls in the one room as it has textured plaster.
I need a section of my boundary wall to be scraped to remove the old paint and plaster, then re-plastered, and painted with a matte black paint that can serve as a chalkboard for my kids. The wall measures approximately 6.6 square meters (length: 4.25 meters, width: 1.55 meters). I would like this to be done over the next few of weeks, to be completed by 11 September

Same color to be used as on walls biscuit color. Around doors and windows 10cm sq. boarder with same color which is charcoal. Only front section of the roof require painting. The use of durable exterior paint must be used. The white nova board under the over hanging roof beneath must also be repainted and where required if the wood has deteriorated be replaced.
All walls in the house need to be painted. There are old water damage marks at the bottom of 2 of the walls. It needs to be sanded down before repainting. The walls are not "wet" anymore, so the leak or source of water was repaired previously. All nails also need to be taken out and holes filled before repainting.
The church floor needs to be re-painted as the paint has peeled off due to rainwater. The area that requires painting is square meters. We'll be using stoep paint in the color red oxide. Before we start painting, the surface preparation will involve removing any loose or peeling paint and cleaning the surface to remove any dirt or debris. Once the surface is clean, it must be completely dry before we begin painting.

Email me please. I am preparing our Body Corporate's Ten-Year Maintenance Schedule, so I need to get an idea of the cost of painting the units. We are not ready for the actual work at this stage. It would help to get the price for one of each type of unit, as our budget won't stretch to doing all the units at once. We need to repaint the one-storey units in our Complex - 15 two-bedroom and 7 three-bedroom. They will have to be painted in relays as we don't have the budget to paint them all at once.
