Trusted painting and decorating for The Lakes properties
Painting & Decorating in The Lakes is one of the services our teams are called to most often, and for good reason: the properties in this part of Dubai put a very specific set of demands on the systems we look after.
The Lakes (Deema, Hattan, Maeen, Zulal and Ghadeer) sits beside Emirates Hills with mature landscaping and villas around 20 years old. Full-system refresh work is very common here.
Villa properties in The Lakes typically carry multiple systems, external plant and substantial finished areas, which is exactly why we quote after inspection rather than over the telephone alone on larger jobs. In a community like The Lakes, the finishes are expensive and the expectations are high. Our teams protect every surface, work to appointment times and leave the property in the condition a home of this standard deserves.
Across Dubai we operate on scheduled routes, so a booking in The Lakes rarely waits more than a day or two, and genuine emergencies are attended the same day wherever the schedule allows.
Final price confirmed in a fixed written quotation after inspection. No hidden charges, no additions after completion.

How painting and decorating is executed in The Lakes
The instruments we carry, the values we record, the standards we work to and the materials we install. Ask any contractor for the same four lists before you compare prices.
Instrumentation on the van
- Protimeter moisture meter for substrate readiness
- Wet-film thickness gauge
- Orbital sanders with dust extraction
- Airless spray rigs with pressure control
Values we measure and record
- Substrate moisture content before priming
- Wet-film thickness per coat against the product data sheet
- Ambient temperature and relative humidity against product application limits
- Adhesion by cross-hatch test where an existing coating is in question
Standards and method
- Preparation to a sound, dry, contaminant-free substrate before any coating
- Primer selected to the specific substrate, never a universal undercoat
- Two full finish coats as standard with published recoat intervals observed
- Crack raking to a sound edge, not surface skimming
Materials and components
- Jotun, Dulux and National Paints systems specified by name and batch on the quotation
- Elastomeric and weather-resistant exteriors for UAE UV and thermal cycling
- Anti-fungal formulations for wet areas
- Low-VOC interior systems available for occupied properties
Our seven-stage method
We run the same seven-step process on every painting and decorating job in The Lakes, from a single call-out to a full property program. Nothing is skipped because a job looks small.
Site visit, color and specification
We measure the areas, assess the existing substrate and discuss color, sheen level and paint system. Sample patches can be applied so you see the color in your own light before committing.
Detailed written quotation
The quotation sets out the preparation, the number of coats, the exact products and the areas covered. Everything is fixed in advance, including making good existing defects.
Full property protection
Furniture is moved and sheeted, floors are covered edge to edge, sockets and switches are masked, and joinery, glazing and ironmongery are protected before any preparation begins.
Surface preparation
Walls are washed down, cracks are raked out and filled, patches are sanded flush, loose material is removed and defective plaster is cut out and made good. This is the stage that decides how the finish will look in two years.
Priming and sealing
The correct primer or sealer is applied for each substrate: new plaster, previously painted surfaces, timber, metal and wet areas all take different systems. Stains are blocked so they cannot bleed through.
Finish coats applied properly
Two full finish coats are applied as standard, cut in by hand at every edge and rolled or sprayed to an even film thickness. Coats are allowed proper drying time rather than rushed to close the job early.
Inspection, touch-up and clean-out
We walk the property with you under natural and artificial light, mark any snags, correct them, remove all masking and protection and leave the property clean and reassembled.

Painting in The Lakes, your questions answered
Yes, in most cases. We work room by room, contain dust, and can use low-odor, low-VOC paints so occupied rooms remain comfortable. For a full property repaint, vacating for a few days will always produce a faster and cleaner result.
Two full finish coats over the appropriate primer as standard. Strong color changes, previously stained surfaces or bare plaster may require an additional coat, which we identify and price at the quotation stage rather than afterwards.
Yes. Cracks are raked out rather than skimmed over, defective plaster is cut back to a sound edge and made good, and every filled area is sanded flush before priming.
Yes. The Lakes is one of the Dubai communities we cover on a regular scheduled route, so painting and decorating bookings here are usually attended within one working day, and genuine emergencies are prioritized for same-day attendance wherever our schedule allows.
Our painting and decorating is starts from AED 349 per room, and the final figure depends on the size and condition of the property and the exact scope required. You always receive a fixed written quotation before any work begins, there are no hourly surprises and no charges added after the fact.
20-year-old AC plant and ductwork needing replacement is the issue we encounter most frequently in this community, followed by mature landscaping causing root and drainage issues.
