The timeframe depends on the size of your property, the condition of the surfaces and the preparation required. Exterior work also depends on the weather. We’ll provide an estimated schedule with your quote and keep you informed throughout the project.

Thorough preparation is essential for a lasting finish. Depending on the surface, this may include cleaning, removing loose or flaking paint, sanding, filling minor imperfections and priming. If we find repairs that need additional attention, we’ll discuss these with you before proceeding.

We use premium-quality paints available in New Zealand, selecting the right products for your surfaces and the conditions they’ll face. For interiors, we consider appearance, washability and everyday wear. For exteriors, we choose coatings suited to Auckland’s climate to help protect your property and keep it looking its best.

Auckland’s warmer months generally offer more opportunities for exterior painting, thanks to longer days and more settled weather. However, suitable conditions matter more than the season alone. We plan around rain, humidity and temperature, allowing surfaces to dry properly before painting.

In many cases, yes. We can discuss working in stages to help you maintain access to essential areas. This will depend on the scope of the work, ventilation and the products being used. We’ll agree on a practical plan with you before we begin.

We ask that you remove small items, valuables and fragile belongings from the work areas. Larger furniture may need to be moved away from walls, and exterior areas should be clear of items that restrict access. We’ll explain what needs to be moved and discuss any assistance you may need.

We cover furniture and floors, mask nearby fixtures and protect surrounding areas before painting begins. Outside, we take care around garden beds, paths and outdoor furniture, using suitable coverings where needed. We keep work areas tidy and remove our materials and coverings when the job is complete.

Some homes require scaffolding to provide safe access, particularly around upper levels, stairwells or difficult-to-reach areas. We’ll assess your property and explain the access equipment required, including any associated costs, as part of your quote.
