Good painting in George starts with dealing with the damp. Here is what our painters take on in and around town.
Living areas, bedrooms, ceilings and woodwork, with mould in bathrooms and on cold south-facing walls treated before any paint goes on.
Outside walls are washed, mildew treated and cracks sealed, then painted with coatings suited to the humid Garden Route weather.
Moss and lichen grow fast on George roofs. We clean the roof thoroughly, repair what needs fixing and paint tiles or sheeting once it is dry.
Flat roofs, parapet walls, balconies and roof valleys sealed against the steady rainfall that George sees through the year.
George lies at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains and is one of the greener, wetter towns on the Garden Route. Moisture hangs in the air for days, so green and black mould appears on shaded walls, ceilings in bathrooms and the bottoms of outside walls. Paint that goes over mould simply peels again.
Roofs show it first. Tiled and sheeted roofs under trees grow moss and lichen, which hold water and slowly break down the surface. The weather also leaves fewer long dry spells for outside work, so we plan exterior painting around the forecast rather than rushing a coat onto a damp wall.
Every job starts with washing down walls and roofs and killing off mould and algae. Without this step no paint, however good, stays on for long in George.
We fill cracks, scrape back flaking paint, sand woodwork and fix loose plaster so the finished surface is sound and even.
Interiors, exteriors and roofs are painted with systems chosen for damp conditions, with primers and sealers where the surface needs them, and enough drying time between coats.
Because rain can come at any time of year here, we book outside painting with some flexibility built in. If showers are forecast we switch to indoor rooms, prep work or another part of the house, so your project keeps moving without paint going onto wet surfaces.
Our team also does handyman services in George, flooring and tiling in George, building and renovations in George and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

We wash and treat the mould before painting and use paints and primers suited to damp rooms and walls. Good ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens also helps a lot.
Always. Moss and lichen grow quickly on George roofs, and paint will not bond to them. We clean the roof, let it dry and repair it before painting.
It can, because the rain is spread across the year anyway. We simply watch the forecast and only paint dry surfaces, moving indoors on wet days.
Yes. We seal flat roofs, parapet walls, balconies and gutters that leak, and we usually do this before painting so the new paint is not spoiled by water.
