What is the average price to paint a flat in Western Switzerland?

For walls in good condition, expect CHF 25 to 45 per m² with two coats. For a flat of 80 m², the total budget is usually between CHF 4,000 and CHF 8,000 including ceilings, depending on the condition of the surfaces and the number of colours.

Is wall preparation included in the price per m²?

Rarely. Filling, sanding and removing old wallpaper are billed separately, between CHF 15 and 30 per m². Always ask for an itemised quote that separates preparation from painting.

How can I reduce the cost of my painting work?

Group several rooms into a single job: contractors apply decreasing rates on large surfaces. Clear and protect the rooms yourself, and choose standard colours rather than decorative finishes, billed at CHF 60 to 120 per m².
