Interior painting in Lisbon, while life goes on at home
Lived-in apartments, homes before the move, offices. We protect everything, repair what the wall is hiding and leave it clean at the end of each day.
What is included
The finish is won before the paint
- Proper protectionFloors, furniture, window frames and sockets masked before we open a tin.
- Wall preparationCracks opened and repaired, loose plaster removed, filler sanded. This is where the result is decided.
- The right primerEach surface has its own: plaster, plasterboard, mortar, wood, metal. Always over the whole surface, never just the patches.
- Walls and ceilingsWashable matt paint, in complete sections, edge to edge.
- Doors and framesSpray finished, with a booth set up on site, for a result with no brush marks.
- Mould and stainsFungicidal treatment and stain blocking for damp, nicotine or smoke marks before painting.
- Samples before we go aheadA colour panel on the wall and, for sprayed joinery, one finished door to approve before the full job.
- CleaningThe home is usable at the end of each day and clean at the end of the job.
Your reason
To sell, to let or to move in
If the home is going on the market, we focus on what matters most in photos and viewings, and tell you frankly what paint will and will not solve.
If you have just bought, we fit the painting in between the other trades. Before the flooring whenever possible, for a faster and cleaner job.
If you live there, we plan the work room by room so the home keeps running.
Who buys the paint?
It can be you, and it often makes sense. We hand you the exact specification (product, colour reference and quantities, all from the same batch) and you buy direct, with no margin on our side. We take care of preparation, sundries and application.

Questions about interior painting
Do I have to move out?
No. We work room by room and leave the home usable at the end of each day.
How long does it take?
It depends on the state of the walls and the number of rooms. The timeline is written in the quote, with a start and an end date.
Will walls and doors be exactly the same colour?
The colour is the same, the sheen cannot be identical: matt wall paint and satin enamel are different kinds of product. The first samples are there to settle this before we go ahead.
Can you paint just one wall?
Yes, as long as it is the whole wall, edge to edge. Touch-ups in the middle of a wall always show.
Does the paint smell?
The wall paints we use are water based and low in odour. By the end of the day, with the windows open, the room is usable.
Is everything available in English?
Yes. The visit, the quote and the updates during the job can all be in English.
