Painting in Wollongong
Wollongong paint has two enemies: salt near the beaches and damp under the escarpment. On the coastal side a salt film stops new paint bonding unless it is washed off first; in Keiraville, Mount Saint Thomas and West Wollongong the shaded south walls grow mould that will come straight back through a fresh coat. Inside, the same damp shows up as mould on bathroom and laundry ceilings, which needs treating before it is painted, not just covering.

What's included
A paint job lasts as long as the preparation under it. Outside, that starts with what we already do every day: washing off the salt, mould and chalky old paint so the new coat bonds to the surface rather than to the dirt. Inside, it means filling, sanding and covering floors and furniture before a brush comes out. The written quote lists every surface, the preparation and the number of coats, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
- Interior walls, ceilings, doors, skirting and trims
- Exterior walls — weatherboard, render and brick
- Eaves, fascias, gutters and downpipes
- Fences and gates
- Surfaces washed, filled, sanded and primed before painting
- Floors and furniture covered, and the site cleaned up after

Questions
Painting FAQ
Do you paint inside as well as outside?
Yes. Inside: walls, ceilings, doors, skirting and trims. Outside: walls, eaves, fascias, gutters, downpipes and fences. One written quote can cover both.
Why wash before painting?
Paint sticks to whatever is on the surface. On the coast that is usually salt film, mould and chalky old paint, and painting over them is why exterior paint peels early. We wash first, with the same equipment we use for pressure washing.
How do you price a paint job?
From your photos and, where it is needed, a look at the property: the area, the surfaces, the preparation they need and the number of coats. The written quote lists each of those, rather than one lump sum.
My house is old — does that matter?
It can. Paint on homes built before 1970 may contain lead, so tell us roughly when the house was built when you ask for a quote. Old paint is tested before anything is sanded or scraped, and if there is lead we tell you before any work starts.
