Can anyone recommend a painter?
By Expat Sueño •
The painter that our compound mgmt sent over was clearly gouging us - he wanted 1,500QR per room, which is more than it would cost in the U.S. .. .and I know the guys here are making much much less than the immigrant labor in Texas.
Any recommendations for someone who will do a good job for a fair price?
Thanks,

big then I think QR.1000/- for 3 rooms is not a bad price.
but that guy who was asking QR.1,500/- for per room must be joking ...
It's always good to ask from others specially if you are new to place :-)

the 200 and the 1500 sound logical. it really depends on the extent of work. it could be simple painting and applying one or two layers of normal paint. It could be also a complicated task which involve scraping, priming then doing several layers of paint.

The person who came did it for 1,000QR and did a fantastic job. The guy who wanted to do it for 4,500 must have been smoking something!
Dear ,
Than you should close to GOD always pray for your luck.
Its doest not matter.
I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do.
Luck to me is something else; hard work and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't/
When the good luck comes - ready to receive it.
Always count yourself in lucky persons..
Thanks
Don't let me fool you. . .I'm blessed by plenty of bad luck as well. I have more "strange bad luck stories" than you could possibly imagine!
U r lucky again as well...
Its a becuase of your efforts...i think so...
I ended up finding someone to paint the three rooms for 1,000QR. It's more than 200/room, but he paints for a number of people in the compound and brings his own supplies.
I need to scurry on over to pick up the paint tomorrow!

is what we spent for each room. They are more than ripping you off. We went to Jotun (there is one in the same place as Party Kingdom near Jaidah Flyover) and bought the paint there and contracted with one of their workers. He would come over at night after his regular job was done. this was somewhat inconvenient, but he was good and cheap!
Painting is very easy and a fun job to do. You can buy the paint at any Jotun shop, where they will mix it by computer to any shade you want. Then get some rollers and do it yourself. You will save a lot of money and you will feel so much better after you have completed the job. Really rewarding. I love painting my house and have done everything myself.
