Walls, ceilings, exterior facades, roofs and gates. Steer Builders prepares surfaces properly so the paint lasts in Singapore's heat and humidity.
Peeling, bubbling and mouldy patches are common in Singapore homes, and they usually come back when new paint goes straight over a damp or dusty wall. High humidity, heavy rain and strong sun are hard on paint, both inside and outside. A paint job only lasts when the surface underneath is dry, clean and sound. That is why we spend most of the time on preparation: scraping loose paint, treating mould, filling cracks and holes, sanding and sealing with the right primer. Skipping these steps makes a wall look good for a few weeks, then the old problems show through again. We tell you in the quote exactly what preparation is included. Indoors we paint walls, ceilings, doors and trims with low-odour paint, cover floors and furniture, and leave clean straight edges at the ceiling line. We can repaint a whole HDB flat or condo unit, a single room, or one feature wall. Wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens get paint suited to moisture. Outside we paint facades, boundary walls, gates and grilles for landed houses, shophouses and commercial units. We coat clay and concrete roof tiles with waterproof roof paint, which protects them from sun and rain and refreshes the colour. Metal gates and grilles are de-rusted and primed before the top coat so the finish holds up. Because leaks are the most common cause of paint damage, we check for the source first. If it is a roof or pipe problem, our team can fix it before painting, so you are not repainting the same patch next year. You get one contractor for the repair and the finish.

Interior wall and ceiling painting
We repaint whole homes, single rooms or feature walls in HDB flats, condos and landed houses. Floors and furniture are covered, and edges at the ceiling and skirting are kept clean and straight.
Exterior wall painting
We use weather-resistant paint for facades, boundary walls and shophouse fronts. Walls are cleaned and repaired first so the coating can stand up to sun and tropical rain.
Roof tile painting
We clean, prime and coat clay or concrete roof tiles with roof paint. Broken tiles are replaced before coating so the roof is sound underneath.
Mould and damp treatment
Mould is treated and the wall sealed before painting so it does not return. Where damp comes from a leak, we find and fix the source first.
Crack and patch repair
We fill, skim and sand cracks, holes and dents on walls and ceilings until smooth. This gives an even finish that does not show patches through the new paint.
Gate, grille and metal painting
Rust is removed, then an anti-rust primer and top coat are applied. This protects gates, grilles and railings from Singapore's humid, rainy weather.
If you notice any of these, it is time for an inspection.
Usually moisture in the wall. The cause must be fixed before repainting. Otherwise the new coat will lift again in the same spot.
Common in Singapore's humidity, especially in bathrooms, bedrooms and near windows. It must be treated, not just painted over. Painting over mould only hides it for a short time.
Sun and rain break down exterior paint over the years. If your hand comes away powdery when you touch the wall, the paint is no longer protecting it. A fresh coat restores both colour and protection.
Small cracks need filling so the new coat stays smooth. Left open, they can let in moisture and grow wider. Larger cracks should be checked to see if there is a bigger issue.
A fresh coat is the easiest way to make a home feel new. Painting is also simpler before furniture moves in. For tenants moving out, it helps return the unit in good condition.
Roof and metal surfaces fade and rust without the right paint. Rust on gates spreads if left untreated. A proper roof coating also helps the tiles shed rain.

We stop leaks and damp first, so the new paint does not bubble again. Our team also handles roofing and plumbing. That means the root cause and the finish are done by the same people.
Scraping, sanding, filling, sealer and two finish coats. Preparation is where most paint jobs succeed or fail. We list these steps in the quote so you know what you are paying for.
Interior, exterior, wet-area and roof paints used where they belong. Each surface has different needs in Singapore's climate. The paint brand and product are named in your quote.

Paint brand, coats and price stated in writing. Preparation work is listed so there are no surprises.
Cover, scrape, fill, prime, then two top coats. Each coat is given time to dry before the next.
We check every wall with you and touch up. The job is finished once you are happy with the result.
Tell us your date on WhatsApp with photos of the rooms. We will tell you honestly if we can make it.
Paint on a wet wall will not last. Find out why the wall is damp, whether it is a leak, roof or condensation. Fix that first, then let the wall dry before painting.
Not only the price per room. Check whether scraping, crack filling, mould treatment and primer are included. A cheaper quote often skips these steps.
Get the product named in the quote. Different paints suit interior, exterior and wet areas. Knowing the product also makes future touch-ups easier.
Paint needs time to cure. Heavy afternoon rain can spoil fresh exterior paint. Allow some flexibility in the schedule during the monsoon seasons.
Yes. We use low-odour paint indoors and work room by room, so you can keep using the rest of the home. We cover furniture and keep walkways clear. Keeping windows open helps the rooms air out faster.
Usually damp from a leak or condensation. Bathrooms and walls near windows get the most moisture in Singapore's humid weather. We find the cause, treat the wall and use a moisture-resistant primer. If there is a leak, we fix it before painting.
We move light furniture and cover everything with plastic sheets. Heavy items are moved away from the walls where possible and covered in place. Please remove fragile items and valuables before we start.
On sound tiles, yes. A roof coating seals the surface, reflects heat and refreshes the colour. Broken tiles are replaced first. If the roof has leaks or many damaged tiles, we will advise whether repair is needed before coating.
