Surfaces we repaint
We work across the full exterior so the finished house looks consistent from the street.
- Weatherboards and cladding
- Rendered and brick walls
- Fascias, barge boards and gutters
- Eaves and soffits
- Window frames and external doors
- Verandah posts, railings and pergolas
Preparation for an exterior that lasts
Exterior paint fails when it is applied over a dirty, chalky or flaking surface. We wash down the exterior, scrape and sand back loose and peeling paint, treat bare timber and rust spots, fill and caulk gaps, and prime before topcoats go on.
Our blog post on exterior painting preparation goes into more detail on why this stage matters more than the paint itself.
Working with the local weather
Around Bacchus Marsh the best exterior painting windows are usually spring through autumn, when temperatures are steady and there is less chance of rain or heavy dew during the drying window. We plan the job around the forecast rather than pushing coats on in poor conditions.
Protecting your property while we work
Garden beds, paving, windows and outdoor furniture are covered or masked before we start. Access equipment is set up safely, and the site is cleaned up at the end of each day.
Common Questions
- How often should a house exterior be repainted?
- As a rough guide, exterior paint on a Victorian home lasts around seven to ten years, and less on sun exposed or weather beaten walls. Chalky, faded or flaking paint means it is time.
- What is the best time of year to paint outside?
- Spring through autumn is ideal. Mild, dry days let each coat cure properly. We avoid painting in very hot sun, in the rain, or late in the day when dew can settle on fresh paint.
- Can you paint rendered and brick homes?
- Yes. Render, brick, weatherboard and modern cladding are all covered. Each surface gets the right preparation and the right coating system.
- Do you paint gutters and fascias too?
- Yes. Fascias, barge boards, gutters and eaves can be included in your exterior quote.
