Prep Right, Finish Strong
Painting might seem straightforward, but a great finish takes planning, the right tools, and attention to detail, especially in older or coastal homes where moisture, wear, and surface damage can affect results. Whether you're painting a weatherboard home, patching water-damaged ceilings, or updating rental interiors between tenants, the prep work is just as important as the paint itself.
Sanding, sealing, gap filling, undercoating, and priming all ensure that your paint sticks, stays even, and holds up over time. We also help with colour matching, sheen selection, and the right products for each surface, indoors or out.
A fresh coat of paint is one of the quickest ways to add value and make your space feel new again—and when it’s done professionally, it shows.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How long does it take to paint a house?
A full repaint of a standard three-bedroom home usually takes between 3 and 7 days, depending on the number of rooms, surface condition, and whether the house is occupied. Interior jobs may take less time if surfaces are in good shape and access is easy. Exterior painting can take longer due to weather delays, scaffolding needs, and drying time between coats. Proper planning and prep ensure the job is completed efficiently without compromising quality.
Do painters provide all the materials?
Yes, most professional painters supply their own materials, including brushes, rollers, drop sheets, tape, and prep equipment. They typically include the cost of paint in the quote, but may also give you the option to choose your own brand or finish if you prefer. Some painters also offer colour consultations and can advise on the best products for your interior or exterior based on durability, sheen, and exposure.
What type of paint is best for interior walls?
For most interior walls, low-sheen or washable matte paints are recommended because they provide a clean finish and are easy to maintain. High-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens benefit from washable paints with a slightly higher sheen, like satin or eggshell, which resist scuffs and can be wiped down. Bathrooms and laundries should use mould-resistant paint designed for humid conditions. Always choose quality paint from a trusted brand to ensure long-lasting results.
