Let’s be real for a second: there is nothing quite like that “new home” smell, but the humidity in Singapore can make our walls look a bit sad after just a few years. Whether you’ve just gotten the keys to a new BTO or your resale flat is looking a bit worse for wear, finding reliable Painting Services Singapore residents actually trust can be a headache. At Fixlaa, we don’t just slap on a coat of paint; we’re in the business of making you fall in love with your living room all over again—all while keeping your bank account happy.
The “DIY vs. Professional” Debate: Is it Worth It?
We’ve all had that moment in a hardware store looking at a row of rollers and thinking, “I could save a few hundred bucks and do this myself on Saturday.” But if you’ve ever tried to paint a ceiling in 30-degree weather with 90% humidity, you know that “weekend project” quickly turns into a month-long nightmare.
When you hire a pro team like ours, you aren’t just paying for the paint. You are paying for:
The Prep Work: This is where DIY-ers usually fail. We spend hours filling those tiny hairline cracks and sanding down uneven patches so the finish is actually smooth.
The Right “Formula”: Singaporean homes face unique moisture challenges. We select paints that fight off mold and won’t bubble after the first rainy season.
Protecting Your Stuff: We’ve seen too many DIY jobs where the floor ends up with more paint than the walls. Our crew uses professional-grade masking and heavy-duty drop cloths to keep your furniture pristine.
Tailored HDB Painting Services for Every Flat Type
Whether it’s a cozy 3-room in Toa Payoh or a sprawling 5-room in Punggol, every HDB has its own quirks. We’ve specialized our packages to meet the specific needs of HDB owners who want a premium look on a budget.
Why HDB Owners Prefer Fixlaa:
Anti-Mould Specialization: Our toilets and kitchens take a beating from steam and moisture. We use specific anti-fungal coats to prevent those ugly black spots from returning.
Odorless and safe: We utilize low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paints.This means your kids and pets can be back in the room as soon as it’s dry without breathing in those harsh chemical fumes.
Sealer is Key: Especially for older resale flats, the old paint often starts to turn “chalky.” We apply a high-quality sealer (or primer) to make sure the new colour sticks for years, not just months.
Small Space, Big Impact: Picking the Right Colours
Living in an HDB often means working with limited natural light. The right colour choice can literally make your home feel 20% bigger.
Cool Neutrals: Moving away from “stark white” to something like a soft “Paper White” or “Light Greys” helps reflect light without making the room feel like a hospital.
The Accent Wall Strategy: If you love bold colours like Emerald Green or Navy Blue, don’t do the whole room. One feature wall creates depth and makes the space feel architecturally designed.
Ceiling Tricks: We usually recommend a ultra-white matte for ceilings to “lift” the room and make those standard HDB heights feel more airy.
The Walkthrough: We don’t just give a price over the phone. we look at the walls, check for dampness, and give you an honest quote.
The “Big Wrap”: We move your sofas to the center and wrap them like a Christmas present. Your floors and built-in cabinets are taped off with surgical precision.
The Repair: We fix the holes from old picture frames and smooth out scuffs.
The Layers: One coat of sealer (if needed) and two coats of your chosen premium paint If you see a spot we missed, we fix it on the spot. We depart the area in a better state than when we arrived.
Common Myths About Painting in Singapore
Myth: “I should wait for the dry season to paint.” Actually, with modern quick-dry paints and indoor climate control (fans/AC), we paint year-round. You don’t have to wait for a sunny day in June to get started.
Myth: “Cheap Painting Services use the same paint anyway.” Sadly, no. “Cheap” often means watered-down paint or lower-grade materials that require 4 coats to look decent. We use industrial-strength brands that provide rich colour in just two coats.
Keeping Your Walls Fresh: Pro Tips
