How much does a painter cost in India?
On Qwikyo, single-room repaints start from ₹8,000 (labour + basic paint). A 2BHK full repaint runs ₹28,000–₹60,000 depending on finish quality and city. Prices are upfront — zero commission.
Are paints and materials included?
Painters typically quote labour and materials separately. Always ask for an all-inclusive quote (labour + putty + primer + paint) for clear comparison. Qwikyo's task chat makes this easy.
What is the best time of year to paint?
In most Indian cities, November–March is ideal (dry weather, paint adhesion is best). Avoid painting exteriors during monsoon — paint fails within weeks. In Trivandrum and Kerala, the window is December–May.
Can painters match existing wall colours?
Yes — bring the old tin label or chip to the painter, or they can use a colour-matching sensor on-site. Mention "colour matching required" when posting the task.
How long does painting take?
A single room takes 1–2 days (putty, primer, 2 coats). A 2BHK typically takes 4–7 days including drying time between coats. Agree a schedule before work starts.
What brands of paint do Qwikyo painters use?
All major brands: Asian Paints, Berger, Nerolac, Dulux, Kansai Nerolac. Specify your preference when posting — the painter will confirm availability and price difference if any.
