House painting
House painting in Ashoknagar and Chanderi: old stone homes and new colonies
What homes here deal with
Chanderi is a heritage town known for handwoven sarees and old monuments, with many stone and lime-plastered houses. Ashoknagar town has grown around its grain market and has newer colonies. Mungaoli, Isagarh and Shadhora serve farming villages where pucca houses are replacing older ones.
Products for each part of the house
- Old lime and stone walls: repair, Berger BP White Primer, matt finish such as Berger Silk Matt
- Broken plaster and edges: Berger HomeShield Repairo
- New homes outside: Berger Walmasta or a premium exterior emulsion
- Doors and windows: wood polish or enamel as suits the material
- Avoid thick putty on old walls that breathe moisture
Getting the job done well
- Paint exteriors between October and March; avoid the monsoon months.
- Repair cracks and damp before buying finish paint.
- Use primer on new or repaired plaster.
- Buy all tins of a shade together and note the shade code.
- Ask your painter how many coats are included.
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Questions to ask your painter before work starts
- Which walls need scraping, primer or putty, and which do not?
- How many coats of each product are included in the price?
- Who supplies material, and will you show me the sealed tins and shade codes?
- How will furniture, floors and fittings be protected?
- How many days will the job take, and how long between coats?
