Plan adjoining rooms together
When updating a hallway, kitchen and living room, floor heights, door details and fittings affect one another. We discuss these transitions as part of the project so individual decisions work together later.

Painting in Steglitz-Zehlendorf
An occupied home in Steglitz-Zehlendorf cannot be prepared for painting like an empty room. Tell us which areas are clear and what should stay so protection, room order and repairs are defined before work begins.
Before work starts
Let’s check the details that could hold up your renovation
Access, existing materials and rooms you still need to use can change the order of work. Tell us about your property so we can plan around it.
Tell us what you need to keep using
A workspace, bedroom or route to the garden may remain essential during the work. Explain your routine so we can discuss possible phases and the limits of renovating an occupied home.
Check existing elements before altering them
Existing doors, stairs and fittings need careful consideration where new finishes meet them. Records of earlier alterations help identify unanswered questions before strip-out.

Get the important decisions out of the way early
Have the condition of the surfaces assessed
Old coatings, cracks and varying absorbency can affect the final appearance. The right preparation depends on existing conditions and the planned coating system.
Light reveals differences
Large windows and raking light reveal unevenness particularly clearly. We discuss expectations for smoothness and appearance before starting and describe them in the scope.
Consider colour in the room
A colour looks different depending on daylight, lighting and adjacent materials. Sample areas can help you assess the choice in the actual room.
What to send us
Describe the condition and desired result. Whether rooms are empty or furnished affects protection and workflow. Required trade authorisations must be clarified before commissioning.
What affects the quote
Area, substrate condition, desired finish, number of stages and material system determine the work. Ceiling height and furnishings may require additional steps.
Your questions
Questions about your Steglitz-Zehlendorf project
Anything else on your mind?
Write to us.
Why is a coat of paint sometimes not enough?
Stains, cracks and uneven substrates do not automatically disappear under new paint. Cleaning, repairs, filling or other preparation may be needed depending on the condition.
Does Albahri carry out all painting work directly?
The painting work included and the appropriately authorised specialist contractor are agreed beforehand and recorded in the quotation.
Can the renovation be carried out in phases?
This depends on the rooms involved and preparation shared between them. Send a room list and tell us which areas must remain usable so we can discuss a suitable sequence.
Can I enquire about a property in Schlachtensee?
Yes. Schlachtensee is a neighbourhood within Steglitz-Zehlendorf. As with any project, we need the actual address and details of the work you want.
