Occupied Condo Painting: Repaint Without Moving Out

How live-in painting actually works

We split the unit into 2–3 work zones based on your daily routine. Painting moves through them sequentially: never bedroom and bathroom on the same night. Each zone is liveable again within 4–6 hours of finishing.

Standard live-in sequence (3-bedroom example)

1. Day 1: Common areas — living, dining, foyer.
2. Day 2: Kitchen + bathrooms (bathroom-grade paint).
3. Day 3: Guest bedroom + study. You sleep in master.
4. Day 4: Master bedroom (you sleep in finished guest room).
5. Day 5: Touch-ups, walk-through, cleanup.

Paints we use for live-in

• Nippon Odour-less Ultra Fresh Air — true near-zero odour, our default
• Benjamin Moore Aura / Regal Select — low-odour premium, washable
• Breathe air-purifying — actively cleans VOCs from indoor air
• BM Aura Bath & Spa — bathroom paint with low odour and anti-mould

No solvent-based paints for live-in. Period.

Protection in place

• Floors fully covered with non-slip canvas drop sheets
• Furniture wrapped in plastic or moved to centre and tented
• Wardrobes, AC, switches, light fittings masked
• Doorways sealed with poly sheeting per zone
• Daily cleanup: floors swept, masking refreshed

Before we arrive

• Clear personal items from walls (we put back if requested)
• Empty wardrobes if possible
• Remove fragile items from open shelves
• Plan to be out of painting zone during work hours (9am–5pm per MCST)

What to expect at night

Almost no smell from low-odour eco paint. Walls touch-dry within an hour. Sleep in any room painted before lunch. Schedule arranged so tonight's bedroom was painted earlier.

Pricing

Same as standard condo painting prices — live-in included. Schedule slightly longer (5–7 days vs 3–4 vacant) due to room-by-room and MCST hour limits. WhatsApp 8751 5146 with floorplan to lock in slots.
