We paint family homes, townhouses and estate houses across Durbanville, inside and out. These are the painting jobs we are asked for most.
Living areas, bedrooms, ceilings and passages painted after cracks are filled and walls sanded, with floors and furniture covered while we work.
Outside walls washed, loose paint scraped back and cracks sealed before new coats go on, which matters most on the walls that take the full afternoon sun.
Tiled and sheet roofs cleaned of moss and grime, rust spots treated and the roof repainted so it looks fresh and sheds the winter rain properly.
Flat roofs, parapets, balconies and damp walls sealed before the rainy season, with the source of the damp found first instead of being painted over.
Durbanville lies inland on the slopes of the Tygerberg Hills, with the wine farms just beyond, so it misses most of the coastal salt but gets a lot more heat. Summer afternoons are long and dry, and strong sun breaks down exterior paint on exposed walls, leaving it faded and powdery well before the inside of the house needs attention.
Winter brings the opposite problem. Rain carried in on the north-westerly fronts soaks into hairline cracks, parapet walls and flat roofs, and shows up later as bubbling paint and damp patches indoors. Many homes in established areas such as Sonstraal Heights and Vierlanden already carry several old coats, so careful preparation counts for more than the final colour.
We wash down walls, scrape off flaking paint, fill cracks and sand rough patches smooth. Chalky surfaces get a primer or sealer so the new paint bonds to the wall rather than to loose dust.
Walls, ceilings, skirtings, door frames, window frames and boundary walls. We mask off glass, tiles and fittings, and keep the work neat around gutters, light fittings and garden beds.
Roof cleaning and repainting, plus waterproofing of flat roofs, parapets and balconies. Where damp is coming through a wall, we deal with the leak before any paint goes near it.
Exterior paint needs dry walls and settled weather, so the stretch from spring into late autumn is the best time to paint outside in Durbanville. If a leaking parapet or a damp wall is part of the problem, we fix that first so the new paint has a sound, dry surface to hold on to, and indoor rooms can be painted right through the winter months.
Our team also does handyman services in Durbanville, flooring and tiling in Durbanville, building and renovations in Durbanville and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Spring through to late autumn, when the walls are dry and the weather is settled. Interior painting can be done at any time of the year.
