Need to have my triplex villa painted after the winter. Can anyone give me an idea of what a sensible price to pay would be, please? Would like it all sorted before I come out in May. All Aspects are quoting 3900TL. Anybody comment on the quality of their painting?
Thanks...
-
Busy Bee and her neighbours had a fantastic job done on their villas... I will get her to come and answer you...
-
I have a triplex villa and never paid more that 1,000 lira, it will depend on how much repair work they have to do but 3,900 sounds quite a lot, get some more quotes.
-
i had my triplex done last year good job 900 tl .
-
Thanks, this makes my quote look very expensive!! Can I ask who did it?

mine was done by bayrams brother he is mentioned on here quite a bit .

Triplex painted by Mehmet. Mentioned on here before.
This included all iron work balcony rails etc. of which there is a lot, we have 5 balconies. 3 men, 2.5 days 1700 TL. Done last spring still looks as good as if done yesterday.
-
Best to cut out the middle man and go straight to the painter.
-
Don't expect a better result from someone who quotes a higher price. We recently made that mistake. This is what I have learned so far here. The less you pay , the less you'll regret and in the end you'll have some money left to fix what does not meet your expectations.
-
Looks like All Aspects prices are as a good as their driving ...... alright, alright only just saying. ;)
On the substantive question I had my triplex villa done by Bayram's brother a couple of years ago 1700TL, including ironwork. Nice job, but I think he may have been a little dearer than he needed to be, so I'd say on todays prices (and paint has gone up in the last couple of years) 1700 to 2000TL would be reasonable, which I think is confirmed by Saga Louts post, But you can get it done cheaper, as Lance suggests. But Lance did the 900TL include paint?

As important as a good painter is, all of his " expertise " can be for nothing if you do not have a top quality paint . Many ex-pats have painting done, and later find that the " painter " has used much cheaper internal paint on the exterior of the property, first shower of rain, and your new
paint is doing a very decorative job of your paths !!!! Personally, I would go no farther than Mehmet Hira, an brilliant guy who speaks almost perfect English, does a great job of ANYTHING that he puts his hands to, and, cleans up afterwards !!!!
I also used to make sure that I was given " Son fiyat ", final price, before agreeing any work . Just sayin' .
-
I have used All Aspects recently for painting and various repairs.They did a great job,very thorough ,rubbing down,filling,etc all outside painting with weatherproof paint,gloss on metalwork,varnish on woodwork.No spillage or mess.Painting was about what you have been quoted which I found very reasonable considering the standard of the work

Thanks very much, everyone, for all the advice...
-
Does anyone have the contact details for Bayrams brother?
It's quite acceptable here to buy all the paint etc yourself saving on any hidden mark up and guaranteeing the quality.
-
Wendy will put our painters number on later this afternoon, in a bit of a rush. They were excellent and 11 of my friends used them.
-
I agree with Gordon re quality paint,last time we had ours done was 8 years ago but with good paint.AA have used the same stuff,expensive but worth it.
I also agree with the comments re Mehmet as he did our interior,quick,no mess,good job and very reasonable
-
Mehmet uses top quality materials. He has done internal for us as well.
If we have been doing anything ourselves he has got us the paint at cost.Also always leaves us with touch up etc
Quite honestly though we wouldnt pick up a paint brush here again, not when he doea such a good job, is totally trustworth etc

Wendy the painters name is Ahmet and his no is 0533 930 8844. Him and partner do an excellent job, no mess whatsoever, they do what is says on the tin. They work hard and don't want to keep stopping for tea breaks. When they finished our 3 storey villa, they kept going out to the road and looking. They decided to paint our double wrought iron gate as they felt it let the the whole effect down.
-
I agree with Gordon as well, as some painters water down the paint to much and slop the stuff every where. I use Dulux weathershield outside and either Crown or Dulux inside and rarely get any damp patches in the villa.
-
Bumping this back up as we are looking to have our whole complex done at the end of the season
Recommendations for reputable companies able to undertake the repair and repainting of four blocks plus garden walls appreciated
-
C1 where do you get Dulux weathershiled from ?
-
I happen to know that he used to drive from the UK in his Discovery and brought the paint with him.
-
Busybee How much was it to paint your Villa ?

Yesterday they finished the exterior paint and the irons of our villa and we are very happy with their work and positive approach.

any idea what it might cost to emulsion and gloss a 1 bed apartment. Basically a bedroom, a lounge with american style kitchen and a fully tiled bathroom which will just need the ceiling doing. shouldnt be a fortune should it?
-
It might be cheaper if you buy the paint , brushes etc and ask the painters what they want for the work. Of course they will advice you and help you what to buy. We did it this way and it was cheaper than others we asked. You can pay the paint etc with credit card as I did , but paid the painters money cash.
This way you can have a better comparison if you ask different painters.

rob painted our 3 storey house £170

We used Paul Cherry and can highly recommend him. A Brit with his own business in the area. He has done a few jobs for us now and has always been excellent.
