Professional painting services attract 18% GST. Most online quotes show pre-GST rates. Common additional costs to ask about: scaffolding for exterior work (₹5–10/sq ft extra), furniture shifting (₹1,000–2,000), crack/plaster repair (depends on extent), and polishing/enamel work on doors and windows (charged separately). At AapkaPainter, our all- inclusive quotes cover everything except GST — no hidden charges.
