About House Painting

What it covers, what sets the price

Painting is the job most often commissioned at home and the one that causes the most arguments, because the result is visible to the eye and so are the flaws. A good paint job starts not with the colour choice but with preparing the wall: scraping off the old paint, opening up and filling the cracks, filler and sanding. This preparation can take longer than the painting itself and makes up the bulk of the price. In Turkey labour is usually priced per square metre or per room; the wall area to be painted is roughly two and a half times the floor area. Ceilings, door frames, plaster repair and moving furniture are usually separate items. On this page you will find how the job is done step by step, the real difference between paint types, what stretches the schedule and the questions you should ask the painter at the site visit. City, season and the painter's calendar also affect the price; painters are booked up in spring and summer, while in the winter months there is a little more room to negotiate. Price ranges are estimates based on 2026 market research; the exact figure becomes clear after the painter's site visit.

SCOPEWhat the job includes

  • Wall and ceiling painting (interior, a single room or a whole flat)
  • Surface preparation: scraping, filler, plaster repair, sanding and primer
  • Door, frame and architrave painting (oil-based or water-based)
  • Exterior painting (with scaffolding or suspended scaffolding)
  • Treatment and stain-blocking primer on walls with damp and mould marks
  • Covering the furniture, clearing away sheeting and paint waste at the end of the job

SITE VISITWhen choosing a tradesperson and at the site visit

  1. 01Ask for the quote as two separate items, labour and materials; ask how many coats and how many litres have been calculated.
  2. 02If there is blistering, damp or cracking on the walls, show it to the painter at the site visit; filler and plaster repair change both the schedule and the price.
  3. 03Have it stated in the written quote whether ceilings, door frames and moving furniture are included in the price.
  4. 04Decide on the colour before painting starts; changing the shade after the walls are painted means another coat.
  5. 05Don't make the final payment before the job is finished; check the corners, frame edges and around the sockets in daylight.

Beylikdüzü'nde 95 metrekare daire, silinebilir boya. Teklif 40 dakikada geldi, keşfe ertesi gün geldiler. Üç günde bitti, her odayı ayrı ayrı gösterip teslim ettiler.

We had the whole 2+1 flat in Kadıköy painted. The team arrived at nine in the morning, covered the furniture themselves, and the job was done by the evening of the second day. Ceiling and frame transitions are clean, not a drop of paint anywhere. We paid exactly what the quote said.

Kadıköy'de 3+1 daireyi Mehmet Usta'ya boyattık. Kabaran boyayı kazıyıp macunla düzeltmeden boyaya geçmedi; sonuç pürüzsüz. İki kişilik ekibi mobilyaları örttü, iş sonunda naylonları topladı.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about House Painting

Who prepares the walls before painting?

The painter does, but whether it is included in the price varies from quote to quote. Scraping off old paint, opening up cracks, applying filler and sanding are the invisible part of the labour. If the walls are in good condition, preparation is quick; if there are damp marks, blistering or wide cracks, preparation can take longer than the painting itself. Show the walls to the painter at the site visit and have the scope of the preparation written into the quote.

What is the difference between washable paint and standard emulsion?

Standard emulsion is more economical, looks matt and is hard to wipe when it gets marked; it soils quickly in heavily used places such as children's rooms and hallways. Washable paint contains more binder, can be cleaned with a damp cloth and needs fewer coats. The difference is clear in the price per litre; washable paint in heavily used rooms and standard emulsion in little-used bedrooms is a sensible balance.

Can I stay at home while the painting is done?

With water-based interior paints, yes; the smell is light and since the rooms are painted one after another it is possible to stay in one of them. Oil-based paint and door frame paint smell heavier; on those days the windows need to be kept open. If there is a baby, a pregnant woman or someone with a respiratory condition in the house, it is better not to sleep in the freshly painted room on the first night. Gathering the furniture in the middle of the room and covering it lets the painter work quickly.

Do I need the building's approval for exterior painting?

Yes. Because the exterior counts as a common area you cannot have it painted on your own; a decision of the owners' meeting and the management's approval are required. If scaffolding is to be put up, a permit from the municipality may be needed for occupying the pavement. The colour is expected to match the building as a whole. For a single flat, the inside of the balcony or the walls within your own section fall outside this rule; even so, informing the management prevents disputes later.
