Full guide

Why Limassol homes get this: External paint cycles in Limassol run 5–7 years rather than 10–15, due to intense UV and salt-air exposure along the dense coastal strip. High-rise façades require rope-access or suspended-platform painting — a specialised, higher-cost segment unique to Limassol. Interior repaint demand is strong in the premium Russian-owned apartment cohort.
