The Brief

Move-out painting after a one-year tenancy

Permit and Keys

From access to completed painting

  1. North Property Care coordinated the building-management permit and key handover.
  2. The team protected the working areas and repainted the agreed internal walls in the existing colour.
  3. Painting was completed in approximately 3.5 hours for this studio.

Inspection and Handover

Written landlord acceptance

The finished apartment was inspected with the landlord, approved in writing and handed over satisfactorily. This supported the tenant’s deposit-return process; it does not guarantee deposit return.

A practical handover lesson: use a painting company in Dubai willing to inspect the completed work with the landlord or agent and obtain written acceptance where possible.

Studio Painting Cost

Why another studio may cost differently

Dubai studios commonly vary from about 300 to 600 sq ft. Size, wall condition, same-colour repaint versus a colour change, paint choice and whether ceilings or balconies are included affect the quotation.

This 492 sq ft job is one real example of painting cost in Dubai. Another apartment will need its own agreed scope and quotation; the approximately 3.5-hour painting time is not a promised completion time.

Separate Supporting Work

Deep cleaning before handover

Deep cleaning was also completed as a separate supporting service. Its price is not shown here; AED 600 refers only to the confirmed painting scope.
