Whole-home repainting with a written stage plan
A full-house job without a plan is dust in every cupboard and nowhere to sit. This service is built around stages - often by floor or by wing - with a short written note of which rooms are active, which are drying, and which are signed off. Exteriors, if wanted, sit as a separate block with their own weather logic so they do not derail the interior dates.
What you gain from treating the house as one programme
One specification thread, one protection standard, and one communication line from walkthrough to last door eased shut.
- Transitions at doorways and stairs stay intentional instead of “close enough”
- Furniture moves are batched so you are not shifting the same sofa twice
- Later touch-ups can follow the same product schedule that was written down
What drives whole-property pricing
- Number of storeys and how complex the stair volume is
- How empty the house is versus fully furnished
- Whether exteriors share the same booking window as interiors
- Structural repair, plastering, or damp work that must finish before decoration
Staging floors and shared circulation
Typical flow is agree the critical live zones (often kitchen or one bathroom), work away from them in logical chunks, then close the shared circulation last when side rooms are already boxed off.
Where full-house interiors run
Whole-house interiors are quoted across Dublin and into Kildare, Meath, and Wicklow. Final calendar length is fixed after a site visit because furniture, access, and repair load change every house.
Inside a whole-home written scope
Full-house interiors usually document:
- Each room’s walls, ceilings, and woodwork on a schedule, not a vague “whole house” line
- Stairwells and landings as their own line item because they touch every other space
- Optional exterior phases quoted apart from interior dates when both are requested
- Snag and sign-off checkpoints per stage so you are not reopening finished rooms blindly
When the entire interior needs one programme
- New owners who want one consistent decorate before boxes stack against every wall
- Homes where every room still carries different whites from ten years of one-off fixes
- Large lets or family houses being brought to one standard for the next decade
Counties where whole-home work is scheduled
Full house painting - programme questions
Do you paint the whole house in one continuous block?
Usually in connected stages rather than every door open at once. That keeps dust and solvent load manageable and gives you predictable places to retreat to within the home.
We are only in the house on weekends - is that workable?
It can be, but programmes stretch. Access and decision-making midweek affect how fast stages close; that trade-off is discussed before you commit to dates.
Can you leave one room entirely out of the contract?
Yes. Omitted rooms are named so the quote total matches reality and so future work can reference the master spec for the rest of the house.
