How to hire a painter in South Africa
- Get quotes in R per m² — makes comparing bids fair.
- Confirm whether the quote includes paint (branded like Plascon, Dulux) or is labour-only.
- Ask about preparation: sanding, priming, filling — cheap quotes often skip these.
- For exterior work, agree on a weather-contingency plan.
Safety advice
- For roof or high-wall work, insist on scaffolding — not ladders.
- Water-based paints (indoor) release VOCs — ventilate for 24 hours after work.
