I need my Condo Painted - Any Recommendations?

[Tamarind21]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a 2 bed, 155 m2 condo in central Pattaya that's in desperate need of a new paint job, can anyone recommend a reputable person that can do this for me. They need to be able to speak English for communication purposes ... Thanks

 

P.S. If they also has some electrical skills it would be a plus ????

When you find one.

He will be able to paint, do electrical work and also plumbing to a very high standard. 

 

Ps Do it all yourself, it will be way less disappointing.

You could even hire a farang to do it on the side 

I'm sure there's a few expats who are great at that 

Just obviously don't tell anyone

Agree

@rocketboy

painting has got to be one of, if not the easier things to do. especially if not cracked or peeling.

 

No rec as not located in Patts.

It is definitely a challenge to find a reliable person however I did find one and have used them several times for fairly sizeable jobs involving ceiling, painting and balcony work amongst other things. It's not a one man band and the owner has a small team of people.

 

I've used them several times and never been disappointed by the quality of the work and their professionalism. For example I have quite expensive wooden floors in my place and they were very careful covering and protecting those before work started.

 

He's probably not the cheapest in the world but generally you get what you pay for. He always gives a written quote if asked and sticks to that.

 

The company name is P & B Ceiling and the owner's name is Khun Bpan. Mobile (092-276-2766 or 081-862-5996)

First choice, do it yourself - much cheaper than hiring me.

 

Second choice, I can do it (including electric and plumbing). You pay for tools, paint, caulk, other supplies, my driving costs from northern Thailand, hotel, food and incidentals.

Third choice - re-read first choice... ;)

Check with your Condo Juristic. Mine is going to arrange a painter they use all the time once I'm ready to pull the trigger

If only that was true in Thailand. 

 

But well done for posting a good guy.

people take note of the number, as they are very few and far between here.

Maybe even Rainbow paint.

It's all the rage now days for some strange folk.

Are you hanging around in Pattaya for "professionals" ? Are you so busy to do it yourself?

In my house I do it almost every 7 years including some electrical connections furthermore I clean ceiling lamps.

1.Lay cardboard on the floor so that it does not get dirty from the paints.

2.Buy a brush and paint roll as well as paint paint of your choice.

3.When painting with the roller do not press it against the wall so that paint does not drip on you

4.I have done the above procedure many times at home successfully!

Do not hasitate and do it yourself slowly withought any rush.

If you go to Canterbury tales bookshop you will see many farangs who were ex tradesmen , I'm sure a bit of cash talks

So you're saying the estimates are free, got it.

DIY is fine if you're doing one room at a time but a 155m2 place is quite an undertaking if it needs a total makeover. I would get a pro in to do it.

 

You've also got to take into account the heat - fine if you're young and fit!
