House Painting FAQs | Answers from Catansus Painters Dublin

1. What type of paint do you use?

We only use trusted brands like Dulux, Fleetwood, or Colourtrend – paints that are durable, safe, and give a top-quality finish. We’ll also chat with you before starting, to make sure we pick what’s best for your space.

2. How many painters will be in my home?

That depends on the size of your project. Smaller jobs might need just one or two of us. For larger homes, we might bring in a team – usually no more than 3 or 4 people – all respectful, tidy and fully trained.

3. Do I need to be at home while you’re painting?

Not at all. Many of our clients are away during the day, and we’re used to working independently. If you prefer to be there, that’s fine too. Either way, we’ll keep you updated, and if we finish before you return, we’ll lock up properly and make sure everything is safe and clean.

4. What do I need to prepare before the painters arrive?

Honestly – not much. We usually handle furniture moving, take down curtains or frames, and fully protect floors and surfaces. But if you’d like to move a few things yourself, it helps us get started quicker and finish sooner. Totally up to you.

5. What kind of preparation work do you actually do?

We don’t just paint over cracks and marks. We repair holes, seal stains, treat any mould, and sand woodwork so the finish lasts. Good prep makes the difference between a quick paint job and a lasting result.

6. What if I don’t like the colour I picked?

No problem – that happens more often than you’d think. Lighting, wall texture, and even the time of day can affect how a colour looks. That’s why we always do sample patches before we start, so you can see the colour on your own walls and feel confident in your choice.

7. Do you offer eco-friendly paint options?

Yes, we do. We can recommend low-VOC or water-based paints that are safer for your home and the environment. Just let us know your preferences and we’ll walk you through the best options.

8. Do I need to repair any damage before the painters arrive?

No need. Part of our service includes repairing cracks, minor wall damage, or stains before we paint. Unless the damage is major or structural, we’ll take care of it.

9. How do I get a quote?

Simple – just get in touch and tell us what you need. We’ll arrange a visit, take a look at the space, and get back to you quickly with a clear, honest quote. No pressure, no hidden fees.

10. Is there a warranty or guarantee on the work?

Yes. We stand by our work. If anything isn’t right after we’re done, let us know – we’ll come back and fix it. We believe in doing the job properly and being fair with every client.

11. Can you provide references or examples of your previous work?

Absolutely. You can check out real examples of both interior and exterior projects in our Painting & Decorating Gallery. And if you’d like to speak to someone we’ve worked with before, we’re happy to provide references on request.
