The cost of painting a 3-room HDB in Singapore will range from $1,000 to $1,600, depending on the type of paint you choose, and the number of colours.
This is based on using Nippon Paint’s Vinilex 5000 (standard paint) to Odour-less EasyWash (premium paint), and if choose to use oil sealer (additional $350).
The main reasons why the price of engaging professional painters have increased are due to;
- Labour: 2 experienced painters will take 2 days. (1 day if there are no furniture.)
- Insurance
- Medical benefits for workers.
- Worker’s levy
- Increase in rental stay for the workers (2nd main reason).
- Increase in paint cost per tin. (Main reason)
