10-point checklist before you hire

  1. Visit or video a recent site — look at corners, ceilings and elevation edges
  2. Written scope — rooms, elevations, prep steps, coats
  3. Named product system — not only “good paint”
  4. Damp plan — what happens if walls are wet
  5. Putty + primer included? — if not, ask why
  6. Scaffolding & protection — marble, floors, furniture
  7. Colour samples on your wall — daylight check
  8. Timeline & weather window — exteriors need dry days
  9. Payment milestones — avoid 100% advance
  10. Handover — touch-up list and cleanup
Wall putty and primer stage before emulsion — professional paint prep Lahore

Questions to ask every painting contractor

  • Will you treat damp before paint, or only cover stains?
  • How many coats of putty, primer and finish?
  • Is exterior weather shield separate from interior emulsion?
  • Who supplies paint — you or the client?
  • Do you protect floors and AC units?
  • What is excluded (electrical, plaster rebuild, waterproofing)?

Honest answers beat the lowest number.

Red flags

  • One-line price with no scope
  • “Interior paint is fine outside”
  • Skip primer to save money
  • Paint over active seepage
  • No site survey, only chat estimate
  • Pressure for full cash advance

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for homeowners searching construction services in Lahore, Pakistan.

Ask for a written scope (prep, putty, primer, coats, product system), visit a recent site, confirm damp treatment, and avoid quotes that skip primer. Bin Sadiq Construction surveys first, then confirms scope before work starts.

How do I hire a reliable paint contractor in Lahore?
Ask for a written scope (prep, putty, primer, coats, product system), visit a recent site, confirm damp treatment, and avoid quotes that skip primer. Bin Sadiq Construction surveys first, then confirms scope before work starts.
What should a painting quote include?
Rooms and elevations covered, surface prep, putty and primer, brand grade, number of coats, scaffolding, protection of floors/marble, timeline and payment milestones. A one-line price without these items is hard to compare.
Emulsion or weather shield — which do I need?
Interior walls and ceilings usually need emulsion (with putty and primer). Exterior façades need weather shield / exterior acrylic. Mixing them up is a top reason Lahore exteriors fail early.
Should I paint over damp walls?
No. Treat seepage or rising damp first, then putty and paint. Painting over active damp traps moisture and peels within months.
What paint types should a homeowner know?
Know the basics: wall putty, primer, interior emulsion, exterior weather shield, and enamel for doors/metal. Full detail: our types-of-paint guide. This page focuses on how to hire and what to check.
Do you offer paint-only jobs?
Yes. Paint-only interior, exterior or full-house packages after survey — or paint as part of turnkey finishing under one BOQ.
