What preparation work is necessary before painting?

Proper preparation is essential for a quality finish. Our comprehensive prep work includes cleaning surfaces, repairing holes and cracks, sanding rough areas, removing loose paint, masking and protecting non-painted surfaces, and applying appropriate primers. For exterior work, we may also pressure wash, scrape, or treat mould/mildew as needed. All preparation is included in our service and detailed in your quote.

We have expertise in painting virtually all surfaces including drywall, plaster, wood, concrete, brick, stucco, metal, vinyl, and more. Our team selects appropriate primers, paints, and techniques specific to each surface type to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity. Whether interior or exterior, we have the skills and materials to handle any painting surface.

How long does a typical painting project take?

Project timelines vary based on size, complexity, and weather conditions (for exterior work). As a general guideline, an average interior room takes 1-2 days, while a typical home exterior might take 3-7 days. During your consultation, we'll provide a specific timeline for your project and stick to it. We pride ourselves on completing work efficiently without compromising quality.

What safety precautions do you take during exterior painting?

Safety is our priority. For exterior projects, we use professional-grade ladders and scaffolding as needed, ensure all team members wear appropriate safety gear, secure the work area to prevent access by children or pets, protect landscaping and outdoor features, and follow all Australian safety regulations. Our team is trained in safe working practices, especially for heights and equipment operation.

Absolutely! We offer a range of eco-friendly, low-VOC, and no-VOC paint options for environmentally conscious clients or those with sensitivities. We can also accommodate special techniques, custom colours, decorative finishes, and other unique requests. Just let us know your preferences during consultation, and we'll work to meet your specific needs.
