Whether you’re refreshing your Syokimau living room, painting a new rental in Kisumu, or giving your shopfront in Rongai a bold new look—finding a skilled, reliable painter in Kenya can feel like a gamble.
Here are five things to check before you book an interior or exterior painter:
✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?
A fresh coat of paint should never come with cracked walls or dripping finishes. You need a pro with proven results.
What to look for:
- ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
- ✅Ratings and reviews from past clients
- ✅Before-and-after photos of completed jobs
- ✅Clear service descriptions (interior, exterior, commercial, decorative)
💡 On Balozy, every painter is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.
🧱 2. Do They Understand Surface Prep and Paint Types?
Painting isn’t just about color—it’s about prep, durability, and finish. A good painter knows how to treat different surfaces and choose the right paint.
Ask before booking:
- ✅Do you prep walls (scraping, sanding, priming)?
- ✅Can you advise on paint types (matte, gloss, weatherproof)?
- ✅Do you work with concrete, gypsum, wood, or metal surfaces?
📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?
Kenya’s traffic and logistics can delay projects. Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster site visits and smoother execution.
Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find painters in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.
💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly?
You want someone who listens, explains, and updates you—not someone who disappears mid-project or changes the plan without notice.
Look for:
- ✅Fast response time on the app
- ✅Transparent pricing and timelines
- ✅Respectful, collaborative tone
🧰 5. Do They Offer Post-Painting Support?
Paint jobs can bubble, fade, or crack if not done right. A verified painter should offer touch-ups or maintenance advice.
Ask:
- ✅Do you offer a workmanship guarantee?
- ✅Can I reach you for touch-ups or color matching later?
- ✅Do you clean up after the job?
