Exterior painting in Auckland.
Weatherboard, plaster, brick. We read the substrate first. Auckland houses fail in specific ways. Villa weatherboards split along the grain. Plaster cladding cracks at the corners. Coastal cedar burns at the joins. We prep the way each house actually fails, not the way the brochure says.

Questions
Exterior painting in Auckland — the questions we get.
Anything else, just ring. 021 088 17906. Andrew usually picks up himself.
When's the best time to paint an exterior in Auckland?
Roughly October to April gives the most reliable warm, dry days, but we paint year-round and work around the weather — modern waterborne systems are far more forgiving than they used to be.
How often should I repaint weatherboard?
On the North Shore and out on the coast, a good exterior system lasts around seven to ten years. The sun-facing and sea-facing elevations always go first, so we often touch those up sooner.
Do you deal with lead paint on older homes?
Anything pre-1980 we treat as lead-risk: contained prep, no dry-sanding back to bare boards, and safe disposal. It's a health thing, not optional.
Do you wash and prep before painting?
Always. Soft-wash, kill the mould, let it dry out properly, then prime. Paint over dirty or damp timber and it lets go within a couple of years.
