When we bought our home just outside Dublin city centre, it felt like a dream come true.
But once the furniture was in, the tired walls and scuffed woodwork were impossible to ignore.
We realised quickly that this was a job for real professionals.
Why choosing the right painters and decorators in Dublin matters
Dublin properties face everything from heavy rain to strong sunlight.
Poor paintwork does not just look bad — it leads to moisture problems, cracks, and expensive repairs.
Working with skilled painters like Ruben Fonseca Painters in Dublin meant every detail was handled properly, from surface preparation to the final coat.
They guided us on everything from colour schemes to the best paint finishes for each space.
Tip: When choosing painters and decorators, look for a company that offers advice on both colours and finishes, not just application.
Services that made the difference
Interior painting
Our living spaces needed a total refresh.
Interior painting services helped breathe life into dark hallways, tired bedrooms, and our high-traffic kitchen area. Using washable matt and satin finishes, the results looked fresh and stayed cleaner for longer.
Exterior painting
The house’s exterior had faded under years of Dublin weather.
Exterior painting not only boosted the curb appeal but also protected the walls against future damage. Choosing durable exterior paints has already saved us from needing costly repairs.
Renovation painting
We had some minor building work done, and the new plastered areas needed professional attention.
Renovation painting services meant everything blended seamlessly with the original walls.
Kitchen cabinet and furniture painting
Rather than replacing our solid wood kitchen cabinets, kitchen cabinet painting gave us a modern new look for a fraction of the cost.
The team also repainted an antique dresser and coffee table, saving much-loved furniture pieces that now look fantastic.
Commercial and industrial painting
A few months later, we needed to refresh our small business premises.
Ruben’s team provided reliable commercial painting and even handled durable industrial coatings for the warehouse floor — finished on time and without disrupting trading hours.
What to expect when hiring professional painters and decorators
How long does professional painting last?
With quality paints and proper preparation, interior painting should last five to seven years or longer.
Exterior painting in Dublin typically needs updating every five to seven years, depending on weather exposure.
The difference between painters and decorators
Decorators offer a wider service, including advice on colour schemes, finishes, protective coatings, and small repairs — ensuring the whole space comes together beautifully.
Ruben Fonseca’s team offered both — skilled application and valuable decorating advice — which made the entire project smoother and more satisfying.
