Property types · Landed
Interior and exterior painting for terrace, semi-detached and detached homes — with proper access, preparation and weather-grade coatings.
Inside and out
Exterior walls in Singapore take constant UV, driving rain and humidity, and shaded walls grow algae and mould. A lasting exterior repaint starts with a fungicidal wash, proper sealing, hairline-crack treatment and a weather-resistant coating system — not just a new colour over old problems.
We plan access properly for two- and three-storey homes, from ladders and towers to scaffolding where needed, and cover the full exterior scope — walls, fascia, boundary walls, gates, fences and railings — alongside interior repaints scheduled floor by floor.
Scope of work
Terrace, semi-detached, detached and shophouse projects each get a scope built around access, condition and finish goals.
Facades are washed, treated and sealed before a weather-resistant topcoat goes on — the coating system chosen for the wall's exposure, not just its colour.
The edges that frame the house. Fascia boards, eaves, parapets and boundary walls are prepared and coated so the whole property reads freshly finished, not just the front wall.
Metalwork rusts fast in our climate. Gates, fences and railings are de-rusted, primed and finished by brush or spray for a smooth, hard-wearing coat.
Hairline cracks and hollow render are opened, filled and made good before painting — because paint alone cannot bridge a moving crack.
Living areas, bedrooms, stairwells and high ceilings painted floor by floor, so family life keeps moving while the house transforms around it.
Two- and three-storey work is planned with the right equipment — ladders, towers or scaffold — set up safely and removed promptly when each face is done.
Metal gates and timber features get a smoother, harder-wearing result with spray painting and wood varnishing. Cracked render or hollow patches are corrected with plastering before any paint goes on.
Preparation before colourExterior first principles
Every exterior wall faces different conditions — afternoon sun on the west wall, damp shade on the boundary side. We match preparation and coating system to each face rather than treating the whole house the same.
Paint systems
A landed property is five jobs in one — masonry, metal, timber, concrete and interiors. Each gets its own system.
| Surface | What we apply | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior walls | Fungicidal wash + sealer + weather-resistant topcoat | The full system, not just a topcoat — so colour survives sun and rain. |
| Boundary walls | Algae treatment + masonry coating | Shaded, damp walls stay clean instead of streaking green. |
| Gates, fences & railings | Rust treatment + metal primer + enamel | Protection first; a smooth brush or spray finish second. |
| Timber doors & screens | Stain or varnish system | Feeds and protects timber instead of sealing damage in. |
| Interiors | Washable low-odour emulsions | Family-friendly rooms that are back in use the same day. |
Pricing, honestly
Landed quotes are built face by face and trade by trade — these are the main drivers.
A site walk takes under an hour and produces an itemised, fixed quotation for exactly the scope you choose.
How it works
Around the full exterior and through the interior scope, noting condition and access.
Fungicidal wash, crack and render repairs, rust treatment, sealing.
Exterior systems face by face; interiors floor by floor.
Gates, railings and trim finished; joint walk-around and touch-ups.
Why City Painters
Most landed repaints stall when three different trades blame each other. Our crews handle masonry, metalwork, woodwork and repairs in one sequenced programme, with one point of contact and one standard of finish across everything the eye can see from the gate.

FAQ
What owners of terrace, semi-detached and detached homes ask us most.
Most exteriors need repainting every five to seven years, sooner for walls with heavy sun exposure or persistent damp and algae. If chalking, fading or hairline cracks are visible, it is time for an assessment.
Yes. Depending on the elevation and site, we work from ladders, mobile towers or scaffold, all arranged as part of the quotation — you do not need to organise anything separately.
Affected walls get a fungicidal wash and are left to dwell and rinse before any coating. Painting over live growth is the classic cause of early failure, so treatment always comes first.
Yes. Metalwork is de-rusted, primed and finished by brush or spray, and timber gates or screens can be stained or varnished. Most exterior packages include them so the frontage matches the house.
Yes. Hairline cracks are opened and sealed with flexible filler, hollow or damaged render is re-plastered, and any spalling concrete is repaired before coating. Paint over an untreated crack simply cracks again.
Yes, and it is usually more efficient. Exteriors run in dry weather windows while interiors continue regardless, so the combined schedule is shorter than two separate jobs.
Yes. Older masonry needs gentler preparation and breathable coating systems so trapped moisture can escape rather than blistering the paint. We assess the walls first and recommend a system suited to the building's age and condition.
