FAQ
Are paint and materials included in the price?
Usually yes — but very low "from" prices are often labour-only without materials. Verify what is included in the quote.
How many coats of paint is standard?
Standard is 2 acrylic coats. Dark colours require 3 coats.
What is the difference between spot shpachtel and full American shpachtel?
Spot shpachtel (point repairs) is generally included in the painting job. Full American shpachtel is priced separately — approximately ₪3,300–₪4,300 for a 3-room apartment.
Do the prices include VAT?
Consumer quotes usually include VAT, but always confirm with the painter that the quote is final and includes VAT before booking.
