How long does a full villa painting take in Dubai?

For a 5-bedroom Jumeirah villa, a full interior and exterior paint job typically takes 7–12 working days with a team of 3–4 painters. Interior only (all rooms): 5–7 days. Exterior only: 3–5 days. Both together with a larger team: 7–10 days. Doing it in sections is absolutely possible and actually makes more sense for a family. Most painting teams will work room by room — you can clear one floor while the family continues using the other. Painters typically work 7am–5pm, so disruption is manageable. For exterior painting, they'll need access to all elevations and may need scaffolding for the upper floors. Plan exterior painting for cooler months (October–April) if possible — summer heat affects both the painters and the paint curing process.
