They will have a carpenter come in and put gates at the bottom and top of the stairs and anything else needed (depends on the villa).

 

I had my QIPCO villa painted last summer.  It was around $50 a room including paint and labor.   Both are cheap here.   You are not charged for repainting.   Many people do more than just paint (built in bookcases, wall units, even storage sheds)    They just rip it out when you leave.

 

The compound maintenance will come and drill as many holes, inside and out of your villa, as you so desire.   Yes it takes a special drill bit to get through these cement walls and the tile.

 

almost anything added onto the villa is OK.   You wouldn't want to knock down walls or take something away obviously.   They need to be able to restore it to it's original condition.
