Frequently Asked Questions

How much does painting an apartment cost in Craiova?

The price depends on total surface area, wall condition, and the type of finish desired. A 2-room apartment in Craiova can cost between 1,000 and 3,000 RON for labor only, excluding materials. Request a quote after a site visit.

How do I choose a quality painter in Craiova?

Ask to see photos of previous work, read reviews, and clarify whether the painter supplies materials or works with yours. Compare at least 2–3 quotes and be cautious of suspiciously low prices.

How long does painting a 2-room apartment take?

A 2-room apartment with filler and washable paint typically takes 3–5 working days with a 2-person team, depending on surface condition and finish type.

Does the painting price include materials?

Usually the quoted price covers labor only. Materials (paint, filler, primer, wallpaper) are calculated separately based on the quality chosen. Clarify from the start exactly what is included in the offer.

What's the difference between washable and standard paint?

Washable paint resists cleaning and is recommended for all lived-in spaces. Standard paint (lime-based or simple emulsion) is cheaper but deteriorates faster and cannot be easily wiped clean.

Is priming necessary before painting?

Yes, priming is an essential step that ensures paint adhesion, reduces paint consumption, and prevents staining or dampness showing through. A professional painter will never skip this step.
