Turnkey interior and exterior residential painting contracting for family homes, townhouses, and private estates across Kenya, with thorough floor protection, surface repairs, and clean handover.
Our residential painting service delivers complete interior and exterior decoration for occupied family homes, newly acquired houses, and rental properties across Kenya. We take care of every stage from initial site assessment and room protection through surface repair, undercoating, two-coat finish application, and final cleanup. Whether you need your sitting room and bedrooms refreshed or a full exterior facade repainted before the rainy season, our crews work methodically to minimize disruption to your home life.
This contracting service is tailored for homeowners, estate residents, landlords, and property managers who want professional standards rather than casual casual-labor results. Typical residential projects include:
Residential repainting becomes necessary when walls show clear signs of wear or when your living needs change. Common situations include:
Our standard residential painting scope includes full furniture moving to room centers, heavy polythene and canvas drop-cloth floor masking, raking out and filling hairline plaster cracks up to 2mm, light sanding of sound previous paint, spot priming bare plaster, and applying two full finish coats of washable acrylic emulsion. What requires separate assessment during our site visit includes extensive structural crack stitching, hacking out hollow rising-damp plaster, repairing active roof leaks, and full chemical or mechanical paint stripping where previous layers have lost adhesion.
We treat surface preparation as the foundation of every lasting paint job. Before opening a tin of paint, our team moves furniture, tapes architectural baseboards and light switches, and covers tile or hardwood floors with protective sheeting. Plaster walls are inspected for hollow spots and dampness. Cracks are raked open, brushed clean, and filled with flexible acrylic exterior filler or interior jointing compound. Patched areas are feathered smooth with fine sandpaper and sealed with an alkali-resistant primer so the patch does not flash through the topcoat.
Selecting the correct paint finish depends on room function, lighting, and wear levels:
Residential painting quotations are calculated based on transparent site factors rather than arbitrary guesswork:
We understand that having painters in your home can feel intrusive. For occupied homes, we work room by room, allowing your family to use unaffected parts of the house. We use low-VOC, virtually odorless waterborne emulsions so rooms can be occupied safely shortly after drying. Standard single rooms typically take 1 to 2 days, while a full three-bedroom interior typically takes 4 to 6 working days, depending on plaster repairs and weather drying conditions.
To keep your painted walls looking fresh for years, allow new paint to fully cure for at least two weeks before washing. Wipe dirt or scuffs using a soft microfiber cloth dampened with mild soapy water; never use abrasive scouring pads or strong chemical solvents on emulsion walls. Ensure bathrooms and kitchens remain well ventilated to prevent steam condensation from promoting mold growth.
We visit your home to inspect wall soundness, check for moisture or efflorescence, measure square meterage, and agree on color and sheen requirements.

Yes. Most of our residential projects are completed in occupied homes. We work systematically room by room or section by section, keeping work areas tidy and sealing doorways with dust screens. We use water-based, low-VOC paints with low odor so your family can sleep safely in other rooms.
Protecting your home is our first priority. We move furniture away from walls to room centers and cover it with heavy clean polythene sheeting. Hardwood floors and tiles are covered with heavy-duty drop cloths and taped at baseboards. Sockets, switches, and door hardware are masked or removed before painting begins.
Vinyl matt has a non-reflective, velvety appearance that hides minor plaster flaws and surface waviness, making it ideal for sitting rooms, ceilings, and master bedrooms. Soft satin or silk finishes have a subtle sheen that reflects light, making colors brighter and surfaces significantly easier to wash and scrub, which suits children's bedrooms, hallways, and dining areas. Gloss is reserved for woodwork and metal trims where high scratch resistance is needed.
We never paint directly over cracks or loose paint. Our painters rake open hairline cracks into a shallow V-groove, brush away dust, and fill them with flexible interior filler that expands and contracts with building movement. Peeling paint is scraped back to a firm edge, feathered smooth with sandpaper, and sealed with an alkali-resistant primer before full coating.
Colors look different depending on your home's natural light and orientation. During our site assessment, we can review fan decks and discuss color schemes. For major projects, we recommend applying actual 1-meter brushout sample swatches on your walls so you can observe the color in morning light, afternoon sunlight, and artificial evening lighting before committing.
New sand-cement plaster contains active free lime (alkalinity) and residual moisture that can burn paint pigments or cause efflorescence. New plaster must cure for at least 28 days and receive a penetrating alkali-resistant masonry primer before topcoating. Repainting an older home focuses more on repairing accumulated cracks, washing surface grease, and ensuring good adhesion over previous paint layers.
Quotations are based on the total measured wall and ceiling area, the condition of the existing plaster (level of crack repair, skimming, or scraping needed), ceiling heights requiring specialized staging, whether the home is empty or furnished, and the grade of paint specified. We provide itemized quotations detailing labor, materials, and preparatory steps.
We handle heavy furniture moving and covering. However, we ask homeowners to remove delicate items, glassware, family heirlooms, small electronics, and wall hangings from the work area. Clearing clothes from wardrobes is only necessary if internal closets are scheduled for painting.
If our inspection detects active dampness or rising moisture in plaster, we will advise you honestly. Applying standard emulsion over damp plaster will only result in bubbling and mold within weeks. We identify whether the moisture is coming from plumbing, exterior rain penetration, or rising damp, and recommend proper waterproofing or drying remediation before final painting.
We inspect the site, calibrate concrete moisture levels with digital impedance meters, evaluate substrate soundness, and write an exact bill of quantities before quotation.
