Move In / Move Out Painting Services in Dubai
Two weeks of someone else's home, still on the walls.
Handover ready walls, scheduled around your dates.
MELLS carries out move in and move out cleaning across Dubai to the standard a landlord or agent inspects against, photographed on completion.
Preparation is most of the work, and all of the result
Cracks filled, the wall sanded flat, dust removed, then primed. Skip any one of those and the paint tells on you within a year, usually along the wall the afternoon sun lands on.
- Filler, sand, dust removal, primer, then two coats
- Furniture moved and sheeted by us, not by you
- Edges cut by hand, no overspray on stone or glass
Cut by hand, masked properly
A straight line at a ceiling or a skirting is done with a brush and a steady hand. Tape alone leaves a ridge you will see every time the light moves.
- Ceilings, skirtings and reveals cut by hand
- Stone, glass and joinery masked and protected
- Site left clean at the end of every day
The right paint for a Dubai wall
Heat, humidity and direct sun break down a cheap emulsion quickly. Specification is chosen for the elevation and the room, not for the invoice.
- Products specified per elevation and room use
- Full coverage, not a thinned second coat
- Touch up left on site in a labelled tin
Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
About this service
What is move in / move out painting and what does it include?
Nail holes, scuffs, a patch where a television used to be. Your landlord has already noticed.
Dubai tenancy agreements almost always require the property to be handed back painted, and the inspection that follows is more detailed than most people expect. Nail holes, wall plugs, scuff lines along hallways, marks behind furniture, patches where mounted units were removed. A quick coat over the top does not pass, because the filling was never done and every repair reads through the fresh paint. On the way in, the same walls are what you will be looking at for the next two years, and the day before your furniture arrives is the only easy time to fix them.
We work to handover standard and around your dates. All fixings removed, holes filled and sanded flush, repairs spot primed, then two full coats so the finish is uniform rather than patchy. If you are moving in, book the empty window between handover and delivery and the whole property gets done in one pass. If you are moving out, we schedule to finish before your inspection, not the day after it.

How the process works
Site visit and specification
We look at the actual surfaces, tell you what preparation they need, and quote against a written specification.
Protection and preparation
Furniture moved and covered, floors protected, surfaces washed, cracks raked out, filled and sanded flush.
Priming
Repairs and bare areas are spot primed so nothing flashes through the finish coat.
Two full coats
Applied in batch matched paint, with every edge and ceiling line cut in by hand.
Daily clean up
The site is left usable at the end of each day rather than treated as a building site.
Snagging walk
We walk the work with you at the end and correct whatever you point at, without a discussion about whether it counts.

View serviceFrequently asked questions
Who does move in / move out painting near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.
What is the best move in / move out painting company in Dubai?
Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.
Is move in / move out painting safe for children and pets?
Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.
How much does move out cleaning cost in Dubai?
It is priced by property size and condition after a short survey. A move out clean is judged by somebody looking for a reason to withhold a deposit, so it is a different standard from a routine clean.
Will a move out clean get my deposit back?
It removes the cleaning grounds for withholding it. We photograph the property on completion so you have a record if the inspection is disputed.
How quickly can you do a move out clean?
Usually within two to three days, and same week for a handover deadline. Tell us the date the keys are due back and we work to it.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
How is a deep clean different from a regular cleaning visit?
A regular visit maintains what is already clean. A deep clean resets the property, including the areas a routine service is not expected to reach: behind and under appliances, inside cabinets, along tracks and skirting, into upholstery and grout. Different equipment, different products, considerably more time.
How often should a Dubai home be deep cleaned?
Twice a year for most homes, typically before and after summer. Households with children, pets, or anyone with allergies usually benefit from quarterly. Move in, move out and post renovation cleans sit outside that cycle.
How often do AC ducts actually need cleaning?
Every eighteen to twenty four months for a typical Dubai property, and sooner after any renovation or if anyone in the home has asthma or allergies. Filters and vents need attention far more often, roughly quarterly.
Are your products safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use products selected for occupied family homes as the default, and full chemical free steam cleaning is available for households that prefer it. Pest control products are DM approved and applied by licensed technicians, and we always tell you when an area is safe to reoccupy.
Do you bring your own equipment and materials?
Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional grade machinery, products and materials. Nothing of yours is used.
Ready to book move in / move out painting?
Quick response, trained technicians, and a price agreed before we start.
The difference
Why a cheap move in / move out painting job is expensive
The gap is not the price. It is what is actually reached, and whether anyone can show you it was.
The low cost visit
- Two coats straight over the existing surface
- Cracks skimmed rather than cut out and filled
- No primer, so the finish coat does the work
- Furniture moved by you, floors barely covered
- Tape lines instead of edges cut by hand
- Visible failure along the sun wall inside a year
The MELLS method
- Cracks cut out, filled, sanded flat and dusted off
- Primed properly before any finish coat goes on
- Products specified per elevation and per room use
- Furniture moved and sheeted by us, not by you
- Edges cut by hand, no overspray on stone or glass
- Touch up paint left on site in a labelled tin
