Does a painter need an authorisation to work through MATIJO?

Yes. On MATIJO, painting is treated as a regulated trade: no quote is possible without an autorisation d'établissement checked by our team. The official procedures are described on guichet.public.lu.

Should the quote include wall preparation?

It should at least mention it. Filling and plastering change the job a great deal: ask for it to be put in writing.

Who supplies the paint?

The quote must say. If the painter supplies it, they can state the brand and range.

Do the rooms need to be emptied?

State in your request what stays in the rooms. The quote must say who moves and protects the furniture.

How much does a painter cost?

MATIJO does not show prices. The price is the one in the quote you receive for your request.

A Luxembourg rule

MATIJO treats painting as a regulated trade. A painter can only send a quote on MATIJO once our team has checked their autorisation d'établissement, the establishment authorisation, the official permission to run a business in Luxembourg.

This authorisation is checked with every quote and reviewed by our team once a year.

The official procedures are described on guichet.public.lu

How it works on MATIJO

MATIJO connects you with professionals. We do not carry out the work.

You post your request, for free.
List the rooms, the approximate area, the condition of the walls and what you want done: walls, ceilings, woodwork. Give your postcode and the time you would like. Photos of the walls help with pricing.

The painter replies with a quote.
They confirm your date or suggest another slot.

The amount is held in escrow and not paid out to the painter.

When the job is finished, you approve it.
Once the work is reported as finished, you have 7 days to approve it or open a dispute. A reminder is sent to you. If you take no action, the funds are released automatically.

Payment is handled by Stripe. The contract is between you and the painter.
