Interior Painting for Jayanagar's Older Homes — Assessed Before Every Coat

Yes, with alkali-resistant primer on sections testing alkaline, and a water-based emulsion finish. Most Jayanagar houses have stable, fully carbonated lime plaster requiring only standard prep — we identify exceptions during the inspection.

A 1,100–1,300 sq ft 3BHK, two coats premium emulsion: ₹45,000–₹70,000 including materials and labour. High-ceiling scaffolding adds ₹5,000–₹8,000. Texture feature walls add ₹4,000–₹12,000 per wall.

Asian Paints, Berger, and Nippon Paint all produce reliable products. The brand matters less than the paint grade: choose Interior Emulsion (Matt or Sheen) for living rooms and bedrooms, Washable Emulsion for children's rooms and corridors, and a dedicated Kitchen & Bathroom or Anti-Fungal grade for wet areas. We use premium-grade paints from these brands on all our projects and can show you the specific product codes we specify.

Fungus on Bangalore walls is almost always caused by one of three things: persistent dampness from a water leakage source (pipe, seeping slab, external wall crack), inadequate ventilation, or the wrong paint grade used in a high-moisture room. We address the root cause first — sealing the leakage or improving ventilation — then apply an anti-fungal primer and a moisture-resistant paint. Simply painting over existing fungus with standard emulsion will not solve the problem.
