What is included
Interior and exterior painting by our own painters, with surfaces properly prepared, furniture fully protected and wet film thickness checked on every coat. A good paint finish is mostly preparation. Dubai walls move with heat, hairline cracks open at ceiling joints, and coastal air and irrigation mark exterior walls within a few seasons. We repair and prime before we paint, apply the system named in your quotation and leave the home clean enough to move straight back into.
- Building work permit and service lift booking arranged first
- Double height walls reached from a lightweight aluminium tower
- Stone floors covered with protection board and joints taped
- Terrace soffits and walls painted in an exterior acrylic
How we carry out penthouse painting
Before any paint arrives, the building work permit, the service lift slot and the protection for lobby and corridor floors are arranged with building management. Inside, stone and timber floors are covered with protection board, and furniture is wrapped where it stands or moved to an agreed room. A lightweight aluminium tower is assembled for double height living areas. Walls are repaired, sealed and finished in two coats, and ceilings with cove lighting are sprayed or rolled with a flat matt.
The top floor takes more sun and wind than any other, and walls beside full height glass run hot through the afternoon. Paint beside the curtain wall fades and chalks first, and the joint between glazing frame and plaster opens with thermal movement. Roof slabs above can leak after the rare heavy rain and stain the ceiling. Because light comes in low and flat across large walls, poor filling is obvious. The site visit checks access for the tower, lift dimensions, ceiling stains and the state of terrace walls.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey, colour and written scope. We measure, test the existing coating and agree colours, sheen and the number of coats. The written quotation names the paint system and the scope.
- Protection. Furniture is moved and wrapped, floors are covered edge to edge, and switches, handles and light fittings are masked or removed.
- Surface preparation. Walls are washed, flaking paint is scraped back, cracks are opened and filled, and everything is sanded flat. Damp or salt affected areas are treated before any paint goes on.
- Primer and finish coats. A sealer or primer suited to the substrate is followed by two finish coats. Wet film thickness is checked on every coat.
- Snagging and handover. We inspect in daylight with you, touch up, clean down and hand over a paint schedule listing brand, colour codes and batch numbers for future touch ups.

Penthouse Painting in Al Quoz: what we plan for
Al Quoz lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road and has two characters. Al Quoz 1 to 4 are residential, with private villas, older houses and some low rise apartment buildings. The four Industrial Areas hold warehouses, workshops, showrooms, factories and staff accommodation. Within them, Alserkal Avenue and the Creative Zone have turned warehouses into galleries, studios, cafes and offices. Al Khail Gate and Al Khail Heights are large apartment communities on the Al Khail Road side.
Industrial dust is the constant here. Cement, stone cutting, vehicle workshops and heavy lorries on open yards put a coarse grey dust in the air, and it settles on roofs, shutters, skylights and AC units. Homes near Sheikh Zayed Road or Al Khail Road get an oily traffic film on top of it. Gallery and studio walls are repainted often and must be flat, so holes are filled, sanded under a raking light and rolled in a dead matt white. Warehouse floors can be recoated with an epoxy or polyurethane system once the slab has been ground and tested for moisture. Villa exteriors are degreased and washed before repainting, because paint does not hold on industrial dust.
Villas and most warehouses are on open streets with direct loading. The apartment communities run a permit and lift booking system, which The MELLS deals with. Galleries, managed warehouse compounds and working factories have their own site rules, confirmed at the site visit.

Questions about penthouse painting in Al Quoz
What does penthouse painting include?
Penthouse painting covers double height walls, long runs of glazing and terrace soffits, with materials brought up by the service lift under the permit the building asks for. The work includes building work permit and service lift booking arranged first; double height walls reached from a lightweight aluminium tower; stone floors covered with protection board and joints taped.
Do you handle the permit with building management?
The MELLS prepares the paperwork that building management asks for, which usually means a work permit request, the names of the crew and details of the lift booking and floor protection. What each tower wants varies, so it is identified at the site visit and submitted before the start date.
How are very high walls reached inside an apartment?
A narrow aluminium tower is carried up in sections through the service lift and built on protection boards over the floor. It has outriggers and guard rails, and it rolls along the wall so the painter keeps a wet edge. Ladders are only used for short reaches at low level.
How much does penthouse painting cost in Al Quoz?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: wall and ceiling area and ceiling height; condition of the surface and how much repair is needed. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides penthouse painting in Al Quoz?
The MELLS provides penthouse painting in Al Quoz, Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does penthouse painting take?
Typically 1 to 2 days for most apartments and 3 to 6 days for most villas. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
How long before the paint is fully dry?
Water based emulsion is touch dry in about an hour and can be recoated in around four hours. It reaches full hardness over two to four weeks, so avoid scrubbing new walls in that time.
Do we need to move out while you paint?
No. We work room by room with low odour water based paints, and bedrooms are usable again the same night.
How many coats do you apply?
A primer or sealer where the surface needs it, then two finish coats. Strong colour changes may need a third coat, which is stated in the quotation.
How do your crews get access to Al Quoz?
Villas and most warehouses are on open streets with direct loading. The apartment communities run a permit and lift booking system, which The MELLS deals with. Galleries, managed warehouse compounds and working factories have their own site rules, confirmed at the site visit.
Can a gallery wall be repainted between exhibitions?
Yes, if the dates are fixed in advance. Filling, sanding and two coats on a display wall need drying time between each step, so the programme is agreed at the site visit and built around the installation dates.
How do I choose a company for penthouse painting in Al Quoz?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (wet film thickness checked on every coat and an adhesion test at handover) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
Can you come to Al Quoz at short notice?
Yes. Crews travel from our Barsha Heights base, and urgent work in Dubai is attended within two hours between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday.
