Writing this up because I made a few avoidable mistakes during my first apartment repaint a few years back, and recently went through the process again with a much better outcome. Figured an honest breakdown might save someone else the same headaches I went through the first time around.
First project was straightforward on paper a 2BHK that needed a full interior repaint. I went with the lowest quote without asking many questions, the contractor showed up, painted everything in about three days, and it looked decent initially. Within eight months the walls in the bathroom and kitchen started showing bubbling and the paint near one window frame began peeling away from a crack that hadn't been properly filled. Getting the contractor back to fix it was a drawn-out process that ended with a patch job that never quite matched the surrounding wall.
Second time around I approached things completely differently. I asked every contractor upfront about their surface preparation process before discussing pricing or timelines. The difference in responses was telling some gave vague answers about priming and getting started, while others walked me through crack-filling, wall putty application, and how they handle areas with previous moisture damage. Medleiz was among the more detailed in explaining their process, and that transparency carried through to the actual project, where the prep work took a couple of days before any painting began but made a visible difference in how even and clean the final result looked.
Three months in and there's no peeling, bubbling, or uneven patches anywhere. If anyone here is currently weighing options for and wants specific advice on what to ask during contractor visits, happy to share what worked for me.
