How many firms are listed
ilan.com.tr’s listings show how supply is concentrated in the largest cities. It lists 1,370 painters in Istanbul, 192 in Antalya and 157 in Bursa; 618 removal firms in Istanbul, 129 in Bursa and 120 in Antalya; and 907 boiler service firms in Istanbul and 509 in Ankara.
What affects the price
- City: prices are generally higher in Istanbul and the big resort areas than in smaller cities.
- Size of the home: most jobs are priced by the room, the square metre or the volume of goods.
- Materials: paint quality, insulation board and glass type can change a quote substantially.
- Season: September to November is busy for boiler servicing, insulation and moving, so firms may be booked up and less flexible on price.
- Floor and lift access: for moving and renovation, upper floors without a lift, or homes that need a furniture lift, cost more.
Tips
- Get at least three quotes for the same scope of work.
- Ask whether materials are included, and which brand or grade.
- Ask for a written quote that lists the work, the price, the timing and any warranty.
