Working on painting in Dadar
Dadar is some of the oldest continuously occupied housing in the city, with a high proportion of pre-1960s buildings. Structural condition has to be assessed before any interior work here — we check for spalling and exposed reinforcement as part of the survey. Many buildings are under redevelopment discussions, and we will tell you honestly when a heavy interior spend does not make sense given that.
Our standard internal system is two coats of putty, sanded between, one coat of primer, and two finish coats — with the manufacturer's recommended recoat interval actually observed rather than compressed. Existing loose or flaking material is scraped back to a sound surface first, and any damp patch is diagnosed before painting rather than covered. Externally we use the appropriate exterior grade with a dedicated exterior primer. Furniture is sheeted, floors are covered, and the site is cleaned at the end of every day.
Specification for Dadar projects
Repainting the whole flat is often unnecessary
If only two walls have gone bad and the rest is sound, we will quote those two walls and match the existing shade rather than selling you the whole flat. Matching is not always perfect on an older finish, and we will tell you honestly before we start whether the patch will read or not.

Paint failure is almost never the paint. It is the preparation and the number of coats actually applied.

Waterproof paint is not waterproofing. It helps a sound wall resist water; it will not stop a wall that is being fed.
