Frequently Asked Questions

Aljadan Maling operates directly from Oslo. We cover all neighborhoods in central Oslo (Frogner, Grünerløkka, St. Hanshaugen, Nordstrand, Ullern, etc.) and surrounding Viken municipalities, including Bærum, Asker, Lillestrøm, and Ski. If you are unsure if we cover your area, feel free to drop us an email.

Yes. All our painters are skilled, vetted, and carry Norwegian building card identifiers. Aljadan Maling is a registered business in Norway, complying strictly with all HMS (Health, Safety, and Environment) rules. We maintain comprehensive liability insurance that covers any accidental damage to your property during our operations.

We believe in using only top-tier products to guarantee color depth and durability. Our default brands are Jotun (specifically Jotun LADY for interior walls and Demidekk for wooden facades) and Flügger. We prioritize water-based, Svanemerket (Swan eco-labeled) paints which are low-odor, allergy-safe, and carry zero harmful VOC emissions.

No, we do not require advance deposits or down payments for standard residential projects. You will receive the invoice only after all work has been completed to your satisfaction, inspected together with our project manager, and signed off. For very large commercial projects, progress billing terms may be arranged in the contract.

Not necessarily. Because we use eco-labeled, water-based, virtually odorless paints, there are no toxic fumes or strong chemicals, making it safe to stay in your home. However, during sanding and painting, there will be active movement and drying walls, so some clients prefer to leave the rooms we are working in during the day.

A standard 2-bedroom apartment requiring wall and ceiling painting usually takes 2 to 4 working days. This timeline includes all masking, two rounds of wall plastering (sparkling), fine sanding, priming, and applying two coats of paint. We will provide an exact day-by-day schedule before starting.
