About hiring a Painter in Chennai
Repair and maintenance work in Indian households is usually visit-based — the worker comes for a specific job and is paid per visit or per day. Chennai, Tamil Nadu (pincode 600001) is a large urban where demand is high and you can usually find someone within a day or two. Based on going rates in metro cities, expect to pay ₹700–₹2K per day for a painter, depending on experience and the specific tasks involved. Work is usually scheduled per visit rather than continuous. Typical hours: daily wage; project typically 2–10 days. Tamil-speaking workers are common; Hindi is less widespread. On sewakarmi, every painter listed in Chennai has uploaded a government ID (Aadhaar) and confirmed their phone number via OTP. Their full name and contact phone are revealed only after you verify your own number — workers stay safe from scrapers, and you stay anonymous until you decide to reach out. Use the search above to refine by role, sort by distance or experience, and reach out directly. There are no agency fees, no middlemen, and no charges for workers.

Frequently asked
How much does a painter in Chennai charge?
Going rates are roughly ₹700–₹2K per day. Actual prices depend on experience, the specific tasks, and your area within Chennai. Workers on sewakarmi list their availability and you negotiate directly — no agency fees.
Should I get police verification before hiring a painter?
For full-time or live-in roles, yes — it's a small cost for peace of mind. Visit your local police station with the worker's ID details, or use a service like OnGrid for a quick paid check. For visit-based work (a plumber, electrician, beautician), Aadhaar verification + a verified phone number on sewakarmi is usually enough.
What documents should I check?
Aadhaar card (every worker on sewakarmi has uploaded theirs and we've extracted name + city — but you should physically see it once before hiring). Two recent references with phone numbers. For driver roles, the driving licence and any pending challans. We do NOT show their 12-digit Aadhaar number on the platform — that stays private.
Can I hire a part-time painter in Chennai?
Yes — most painter work is per-visit, paid per task or per call.
