What Homeowners Need to Know for House Painting

In 2025, Malaysian homeowners are rethinking their spaces. With minimalist designs, pastel tones, and eco-conscious living on the rise, house painting has become more than just a maintenance task—it’s a lifestyle upgrade.

Across Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor Bahru, more Malaysians are investing in house painting services to modernize their homes without breaking the bank.

Over time, paint wears out due to humidity, sunlight, and regular wear and tear. In Malaysia’s tropical climate, walls are exposed to high moisture levels and fluctuating temperatures—conditions that can cause peeling, mould growth, or fading if the right paint type isn’t used.

Benefits of Repainting:

• Improves curb appeal and home value

• Protects surfaces from moisture and damage

• Creates a cleaner, brighter living space

• Allows for updated design preferences

Interior Painting

• Prioritizes low-odor, low-VOC paints

• Focus on washability, stain resistance, and finish (matte, eggshell, gloss)

• Popular color themes: light neutrals, pastels, and earthy tones for better lighting and spacious feel

Exterior Painting

• Requires weatherproof coatings with anti-algae, waterproof, and UV-protective properties

• Surfaces may need pressure washing and surface repair before painting

• Important to select paints with long-term durability

• Experience in residential painting
  Ask for a portfolio of similar housing projects.

• Use of branded paints
  Reputable contractors typically offer choices like Nippon Paint, Jotun, or Dulux.

• Detailed site inspection & quotation
  A good contractor will assess wall condition, moisture levels, and prep work needed before quoting.
