    We repair cracks and defects, prime where needed and apply two coats of premium washable paint.

    Walkthrough & cleanup

    We walk every room with you, touch up anything you flag and leave the flat clean the same day.

What happens to my furniture, my floors and my routine?

That’s the real fear when painters come into your home, so that’s where our protocol starts. Day one, everything that isn’t being painted gets protected: floors, furniture grouped and wrapped, lamps, sockets, frames. We work zone by zone so the flat stays livable, with fast-drying, virtually odourless water-based paints. Every evening the crew tidies and clears the walkways. And the final clean is ours, not yours: we enter a lived-in flat and hand back a painted, clean one on delivery day.

Why preparation matters more than paint

A freshly painted flat almost always looks good; the difference shows at six months. Badly sealed cracks reopen, damp stains bleed through, and sheen betrays the walls nobody sanded. So preparation gets whatever time it needs: fissures sealed (with mesh where required), stains blocked with the right primer, fine sanding before every coat. We check the result under raking light — the test no rushed job survives — before calling the work finished.

How do we choose colours without regrets?

Colour is the decision people enjoy most and fear most. Our method: advice based on each room’s real light (north, south, internal patio), real samples painted on your walls, viewed by day and by night before deciding. Any colour system — NCS, RAL, manufacturer decks — and honest guidance about when an intense colour needs an extra coat or when an off-white will live better than a pure one. The goal is a home with no “I’ll get used to it” walls.

What certainty do I have on dates and price?

Three things go in writing: start date, delivery date, fixed price. The quote itemises rooms, preparation, paint brand and number of coats, so there’s nowhere for surprises to hide — and anything we missed at the visit is on us. The indicative ranges by flat size are published in the Madrid painting cost guide, so you can benchmark before you even call.

Frequently asked questions

Who will be in my home?

The same crew start to finish: people with names you meet on day one, covered by liability insurance, with a direct manager you can call. No rotating strangers, no anonymous subcontractors.

How do you protect furniture and floors?

Everything that isn't being painted gets covered before we start: floors with board and plastic, furniture grouped and wrapped, sockets, skirting and joinery masked. Protection goes up on day one and stays until the final walkthrough.

Do you really work in English?

Yes — quote, contract, WhatsApp updates and final walkthrough, all in English if you prefer. Many of our clients are Madrid expats and international landlords managing flats remotely.

What if I'm not sure about colours?

We advise at no cost and paint real samples on your walls before you decide — the same grey looks completely different in a north-facing room and a south-facing one. Nobody should choose a whole-house colour from a fan of cards.

Do the dates and the price actually hold?

Yes, in writing: start date, delivery date and fixed price on the quote. Anything we missed at the visit is absorbed by us, not billed to you.

Can you handle the job while I'm abroad?

Yes — keys coordinated with your agent or concierge, daily photo updates on WhatsApp, a video walkthrough at handover and the VAT invoice by email.
