House painting
House painting in Datia: old houses, guest rooms and festive repaints
What homes here deal with
Datia town is old, with many traditional houses near the palace and the temple area. Pilgrims visiting the Pitambara Peeth bring steady demand for rooms, so many families keep a few rooms for guests. Walls in older homes often carry layers of lime wash, and festive repainting before major occasions is common.
Products for each part of the house
- Old interior walls: scrape, Berger BP White Primer, then Berger Rangoli Rich Matt
- Guest rooms: a washable emulsion that stands up to cleaning
- Budget rooms: Berger Bison Glow
- Exterior: Berger Walmasta or a premium exterior emulsion
- Doors and grills: enamel over the right primer
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?
