What we do

Painting, properly prepared and properly finished

Quality paint from CIN and Robbialac, floors and furniture fully protected, and a walkthrough at the end of every job. You sign off only when you're happy with it.

Interior painting

Walls, ceilings, doors and woodwork. Full preparation — filling, sanding, priming — because that is what decides how the finish looks in two years. Undecided on colour? We bring sample pots and paint patches on your own wall, so you see them in your own light before anything is decided.

Bedrooms from €550 · Full apartment from €1,700

Exterior & facades

Villa facades, walls and shutters. Crack repair, priming and coatings chosen for salt air and strong coastal sun.

Villas from €4,000

Rental & holiday-let refresh

Quick turnarounds between tenants or guests, scheduled around your bookings. We work with property managers and surf-house owners across the region.

Priority scheduling available

Damp & mould treatment

Treated properly before painting, never painted over. In coastal homes this is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that fails in a winter.

What it costs

What a job like yours actually costs

Most companies here won't give you a number until they're standing in your hallway. These are the ranges our clients typically pay — everything included: materials, preparation, protecting your floors and furniture, and cleaning up.

We are not the cheapest, and we'd rather say so now. You can find someone here who will paint a room for less. What you are paying us for is a price that doesn't move, a start date that holds, work you can inspect before you pay the balance, and someone who answers the phone two years later if something fails. If the lowest number is what matters most, we're honestly not the right company — and you've saved us both a visit.

How we reach a number: we measure the actual wall, ceiling and woodwork area at the visit and price on that, not on a guess from photos. What moves it within a range: the condition of the surface. Damp, cracked render, bad previous paintwork and difficult access are what separate the bottom of a range from the top. Ceiling heights above about 2.7 m and rooms still full of furniture push a job upwards too. We tell you exactly which apply at the visit, in writing. The quote you sign is what you pay — the ranges above are a guide, not an offer.

Why us

The part most people find difficult is the part we handle

Finding a good painter here isn't the hard bit. Getting a clear price, a date that holds, and someone who answers the phone afterwards — that's the hard bit. That's the job we've taken on.

  • You get one point of contact. One person who quotes the work, oversees it, and is still reachable when you have a question six months later.
  • Everything in writing, before we start. A fixed itemised price, an agreed start and finish date, and a 2-year warranty. No verbal estimates that change halfway through.
  • Skilled local painters, checked before they reach you. We only work with experienced Portuguese painters who carry their own insurance, and we inspect the work before you ever see it.
  • Your language, not a translation app. We quote, explain and follow up in Dutch, English or Portuguese.

Ermo and Inês
Who you're dealing with

Not a call centre. One person, who picks up.

I'm Ermo — Dutch, living on the Lisbon coast with my partner Inês, who is Portuguese. I spent summers painting with my mother's partner, who has run his own painting company in the Netherlands for years. I know what proper preparation looks like, and I know when a job is being rushed.

I don't hold the brush any more — the work is done by experienced Portuguese painters I've checked and worked with. What I do is quote your job honestly, keep the schedule, inspect the work before you ever see it, and answer the phone afterwards. That last part turns out to be rare. And between Inês and me, nothing gets lost between you, the crew and the paperwork.

We're new here, and I'd rather say so than invent a wall of reviews. What I can promise is a fixed written price, a date that holds, and a two-year guarantee in writing.

Questions

Before you ask us

How much does it cost to paint an apartment in Lisbon?

A one-bedroom apartment typically comes in between €1,700 and €2,200, a two-bedroom between €2,500 and €3,200, and a three-bedroom between €3,400 and €4,400 — including materials, preparation and cleaning up. The final figure depends on the condition of the walls, the ceiling height and access, which we measure at the visit and confirm in writing.

Which areas do you cover?

Lisbon, Cascais, Estoril, Sintra, Ericeira, Mafra and Torres Vedras. If you're just outside that, ask anyway — we'll tell you honestly whether it's practical rather than quote you and cancel later.

How quickly can you start?

Interior work usually within one to two weeks. Exterior work depends on the weather and the season — we'll give you a realistic date rather than an optimistic one.

Is the paint included in the price?

Yes. Every quote includes materials, preparation, protection of your floors and furniture, and cleaning up. If something isn't included, it's stated on the quote.

Do I need to be there while you work?

No. Many of our clients are abroad during the work. We send progress photos and carry out the final walkthrough on your behalf.

What does the 2-year warranty cover?

Defects in our workmanship — peeling, flaking or failure of the coating we applied. It doesn't cover new structural damp, building movement, or damage caused after we finish. It's written into your quote so there's nothing to argue about later.

How do payments work?

A deposit when we book the dates, and the balance after the walkthrough, once you've approved the work. You receive a proper invoice.
