What Makes Painting in Woodstock Different

Many Woodstock homes are old Victorian row houses with facades right on the street, parapet walls along the roofline and corrugated iron roofs. The front walls take the full force of the summer south-easter, which carries grit and salt from the bay, while winter rain soaks into old lime plaster. Paint on these houses has to cope with both.

Row houses share walls and often share gutters or roof junctions with the house next door, which is where leaks tend to start. Damp at the base of old walls is also common. Before we paint, we look at where water is getting in, because painting over damp plaster only leads to bubbling and flaking.

What Our Painting Team Does in Woodstock

Front facades and parapets

We wash, scrape and repair the plaster, fix cracks along parapets and paint the facade in your colour. Mouldings and window surrounds are picked out neatly.

Inside homes and lofts

Walls, ceilings, doors and skirtings in houses, plus concrete walls, beams and steel frames in loft spaces. We use the correct primer for each surface so the paint bonds.

Roofs and waterproofing

We clean corrugated roofs, treat rust and paint them, and seal parapets, flashings and the joins between neighbouring roofs where rain often gets in.

Painting Woodstock Shops and Studios

Woodstock has many small businesses, galleries, studios and offices in older buildings. We can paint shopfronts and work spaces outside trading hours or over a weekend, so you are not forced to close while the job gets done.

Our team also does handyman services in Woodstock, flooring and tiling in Woodstock, building and renovations in Woodstock and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

How Our Painting Service Works in Woodstock

  1. Photos and location. Send pictures of the facade, rooms or roof and your street in Woodstock.
  2. Written quote. We list what we will prepare, repair and paint, and how many coats.
  3. Planning access. On Woodstock’s narrow streets we plan ladder and scaffold placement on the pavement and let you know so neighbours can be warned. Where roofs are shared, we confirm access with the neighbour first.
  4. Painting. We repair, prime and paint, protecting floors, stoeps and the street in front of the house.
  5. Check together. We go over the finished work with you, touch up where needed and clean up.

What Affects the Cost of Painting in Woodstock

  • Plaster repairs. Old facades and parapets often need crack repairs before painting.
  • Access. Scaffolding or tall ladders on a narrow pavement take more planning and setup.
  • Rust and leaks. Roofs with rust or leaking joins need treatment and waterproofing first.
  • Surface types. Concrete, steel and timber all need different primers, which affects time and materials.

Woodstock Painting FAQs

Can you paint the front of a Woodstock row house?

Yes. We repair the plaster, fix cracked parapets and paint the facade and window surrounds. We plan the ladder or scaffold placement for the pavement in advance.

Why is the paint peeling on my Woodstock house?

Peeling on older Woodstock houses is usually caused by moisture, either from rain getting in at parapets and roof joins or damp rising from the ground. We fix the cause before repainting.

Do you paint corrugated iron roofs in Woodstock?

Yes. We clean the roof, treat rust, replace loose screws and flashings where needed and then paint, in dry weather so the paint cures well.

Can you paint a loft apartment in Woodstock?

Yes. We paint concrete walls, beams and steel window frames, using primers suited to each surface, and arrange access with the building beforehand.

Do you paint shops and studios in Woodstock?

Yes. We paint shopfronts, studios and offices, and can work after hours or on weekends to keep disruption to a minimum.

Do you also work in Observatory, Salt River and Zonnebloem?

Yes. Our painters cover the city bowl and nearby suburbs, including Observatory, Salt River, Zonnebloem and Gardens.
