Painting · Paphos district, Polis & Limassol
Painting that still looks right in year three.
In Paphos sun, paint that was rolled onto an unprepared wall starts to fade and crack within two or three summers. Panos fills, sands and primes first, uses two full coats of a named product, and writes all of that on the quote, so you can compare it with any other.
- Two coats, preparation included
- Products and coats named in the quote
- 3-year guarantee on workmanship

If one of these is you, send a photo. You get an honest answer within two hours in working hours.
- The apartment needs a repaint between tenants, and you are not in Cyprus.
- The outside of the villa is fading and flaking after a few summers.
- You want the house fresh before you sell it, or before the family arrives for Easter.
- A painter quoted a low price on the phone and the price grew when he arrived.
- The last painter thinned the paint, skipped the filling, and it shows.

Done properly
How a proper job is done in Paphos
This is what the quote lists, line by line.
Preparation is half the job
Loose paint scraped, cracks opened and filled, walls sanded and dusted, bare patches primed. Furniture covered, floors protected, masking on every edge.
Two full coats of a named product
The brand and the number of coats are on the quote. Masonry paint for Cyprus sun is elastomeric and vapour-open: it bridges hairline cracks and lets the wall breathe. Interior emulsion is washable, so marks wipe off.
The right season outside
Exterior painting is best from March to June and September to November. In July and August the wall is too hot and the paint dries before it bonds; in a wet December it will not cure. Panos tells you if your dates are wrong.
Damp walls are dried first
Paint needs a dry wall and air below 80% humidity. A damp or mouldy wall is treated, dried and only then painted, or the stain comes back through the new coat.
A tidy site every evening
Dust sheets folded, tools in the corner, rubbish taken away. In an occupied home you can live around the work.

Questions people ask about painting.
How much does it cost to paint a 2-bedroom apartment in Paphos?
With Panos, labour of €1,100–€1,400 for walls, ceilings, doors and frames in two coats, plus paint on receipt (about €250–€400 for a quality emulsion). The written quote gives the exact figure.
How often does a villa in Cyprus need repainting outside?
With proper preparation and a quality elastomeric masonry paint, five to seven years. Paint rolled onto an unprepared wall often fails in two or three.
Can you paint while I am abroad?
Yes. A key-holder or your agent lets Panos in, you get photos every evening and before/after photos at the end, and you pay after you have seen them.
Which paint brands do you use?
Products sold in Paphos with technical data sheets, for example Kraft, Vechro and Vitex emulsions and elastomeric masonry paints. The brand is written on the quote; if you prefer another, say so.
Do you move the furniture?
Yes. Furniture is moved to the middle of the room and covered, floors are protected, and everything goes back at the end.
Do you paint mouldy walls?
Only after the cause is fixed and the wall is treated and dry. Painting over mould hides it for a season; see the damp and mould page.
