## Details

Bangalore painters run high-volume year-round jobs. IT-corridor apartment turnover (Whitefield, Marathahalli, Electronic City, HSR Layout, Sarjapur) keeps repaint demand steady even in summer. A team of 2–3 painters completes a 2BHK in 3–4 days, billing ₹19,500–₹45,500 — that's ₹5,000–₹11,000/day per team member. Waterproofing (₹26–₹65/sq ft) is a monsoon-season add-on paying ₹15,000–₹40,000 per roof job.

Coimbatore has strong Tamil-Nadu-heritage textile-industry residential demand plus growing IT-corridor work in Peelamedu and Saravanampatti. Pongal (mid-January), Diwali (October–November) and wedding season drive the sharpest peaks. A busy Coimbatore painter earns ₹28,000–₹42,000 in peak, ₹18,000–₹25,000 off-season. Rent (₹6,000–₹12,000) is half of Bangalore's.

On commission apps, both cities lose 15–30% per job. Bangalore painters (larger invoices) lose more in absolute terms — a ₹35,000 job loses ₹5,250–₹10,500 to platform commission. Solve24 charges zero commission, so the ₹35,000 job pays ₹35,000 to the painting team.

## Verdict

Choose Bangalore for year-round volume and higher per-sq-ft rates — a well-networked team crosses ₹50,000/month reliably. Choose Coimbatore for a lower-competition market with strong festival peaks and half the rent. Both cities benefit from direct-customer platforms; commission apps take away 3–4 weeks of your annual income in fees.
