The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted our lives in unimaginable ways. As we remain confined to our homes and spend extended time indoors, most of us have been contemplating home improvement projects, perhaps spending so much time at home has inspired us like never before. And now with the festive season around the corner, the itch for a home makeover and renovation is undeniable.
However, home decor and renovation projects require professional assistance. Lack of safety measures and increased concerns of hygiene has convinced most customers to put off their home makeovers to a later date. With increased risks and concerns around the pandemic, people who are due for a paint job are certainly weighing the risks.
Innovation and reinvention to lead the way forward
With the pandemic showing no signs of slowing down, many businesses had to adapt. The painting industry turned to the experts in home painting, Berger Paints India. Millions have trusted Berger Express Painting for being one of the most reliable and trustworthy painting services. To address concerns of safety while home painting, we launched a safe home painting experience. The painting service now comes with advanced measures and protocols and mechanised painting tools to create a safe work environment for our painters and ensure the well-being of our customers and stakeholders.
So, what exactly makes Express Painting a safe painting service?
One of the biggest risks of contracting the coronavirus is coming in close contact with an infected individual. To limit face-to-face interactions, we launched the Express Painting App. Using the app, you can get painting estimates and consultation, book a painting service, track work progress remotely, monitor health and body temperature of the painters and complete transactions digitally through your preferred mode of payment. This way, you can continue following social distancing and still have complete control over the job of home painting.
To ensure a truly safe experience, precautions are set in motion even before the painters set foot in your house. Only painters belonging to green, non-containment zones are assigned. They come armed with XP Health and Safety Kit, consisting of masks, gloves, caps, foot covers and Berger hand sanitisers. Mechanised painting tools and equipment are used which guarantees not just a professional and thorough job but fewer people are required to complete the task. Painters follow strict safety and hygiene norms and keep their distance from others inside a home, apartment or commercial space they are working in. At the end of the assignment, the painters carry out complete disinfection and cleaning of the applicators, tools and the home and walls to ensure zero chance of any contamination and transmission.
But is it safe to let an outsider in your house?
While we have taken extreme measures to ensure a safe painting experience, there are some things you need to keep in mind before welcoming a contractor into your home. If you are thinking of home painting, but have concerns and confusion about your family’s safety, we have our experts weigh in on bringing painting professionals into your homes, things you need to be careful about and plan for.
Before the visit
- If you or someone in your home has Covid-19, has symptoms consistent to Covid-19 or has come in close contact with someone who has Covid-19, wait to schedule a painting service until all residents are safe and healthy.
- If you or someone in your home is at higher risk of severe illnesses from Covid-19, such as older adults or people with underlying medical conditions, consult your doctor before booking a painting service.
- Do as much pre-service consultation as possible and opt for contactless and zero contact modes of communication, made easy with Express Painting App.
- Ensure the painting room is not occupied and only paint one room at a time. Plan your painting beforehand so that you can ensure a safe experience for both the painter and yourself.

- Do not allow the painter to enter your home if they seem sick or are showing any symptoms of Covid-19.

After the visit
