Exterior Painting

There is much more to painting an exterior surface than just applying the paint. The surface needs to be prepared correctly, the paint needs to be applied correctly and the surface needs to be protected from the elements.

Exterior work I do

Full repaints and smaller jobs. Fences, doors, trim, decks. Here's the kind of exterior work I take on:

• Fence painting
• Timber window painting
• Deck staining and oiling
• Exterior trim painting
• Eaves and fascia touch-ups
• Pergola and gazebo painting and staining
• Small weatherboard and brick repair and paint

No surprises on the bill

My quotes are upfront. I can do it on a day rate basis or a fixed price. Fixed price is always best for you. The cost is calculated on specified per sqm of wall, ceiling or line meter or trim prices. If I run into something unexpected (extra prep, a scope change), I flag it. You decide; I don't add costs without your sign-off.

Prep that matches the surface

Render, brick, and weatherboard each need different treatment. I fill and prime render, clean and seal brick, and sand and prime timber where it's needed. No shortcuts. The right prep is what makes the finish last.

Products that fit the job

I pick paints and primers for your substrate and exposure. Low-sheen for render, masonry-grade for brick, proper timber coatings for weatherboard. The wrong product on the wrong surface leads to premature failure.

Do you only paint in the inner west?

I am based in Dulwich Hill but I paint homes across Sydney. Single rooms, full interiors, exteriors. I approach each job with the same focus.
