Painting jobs in Parklands range from freshening up a lounge to repainting a whole complex. Here is the painting work our team takes on in the suburb.
Lounges, bedrooms, passages and ceilings painted neatly, with nail holes and small cracks filled first, which suits Parklands owners getting a home ready to sell or rent out.
Outside walls and boundary walls washed, scraped and primed before painting, using coatings suited to wind-driven sand and the salty air coming off the Atlantic.
Tiled and sheeting roofs on Parklands homes cleaned of dirt and moss, loose areas fixed and rusted sheeting treated before the roof gets fresh coats of paint.
Flat roof sections, parapet walls, balconies and window sills sealed so the winter rain from the north-west stops finding its way into ceilings and inside walls.
Parklands is only a short drive from the beaches at Big Bay and Table View, and the wind brings the sea with it. Salt settles on walls and window frames, and fine sand blasted by the south-easter scours the paint on the windward side of houses. Walls facing the wind often look tired a good while before the sheltered sides do.
Many homes in Parklands were built in the same few styles, often with face brick details, plastered walls and boundary walls in matching colours. Townhouse complexes usually have a set colour scheme decided by the body corporate, so repainting is often done for a whole row of units at once rather than one house at a time.
We wash down walls to remove salt and dust, scrape off flaking paint, fill cracks and prime bare plaster. On a coastal suburb this step matters more than the topcoat, because paint will not hold on a salty, dusty surface.
We paint interior rooms and ceilings, outside walls, boundary walls, fascias and burglar bars, cutting in cleanly around windows, plug points and face brick.
We clean roofs, treat rust on sheeting, replace cracked tiles where needed and seal flat areas, parapets and balconies before winter so rain stays outside.
For complexes, the best time to paint the outside is late summer into early autumn, after the strongest south-easter has passed and before the rainy months. Trustees can send us the colour scheme and the number of units, and we will quote the work in phases so residents know which block is being done and when.
Our team also does handyman services in Parklands, building and renovations in Parklands and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
You get a written quote before any work starts. See our main painting services Cape Town page for the full range of painting we offer.
Let us know which street in Parklands you are on and send photos of what needs painting. We will send back a written quote, in most cases on the same day.
Call +27 73 209 3004Parklands is close to the sea, so salt and wind-blown sand wear down paint, especially on walls facing the south-easter. Good preparation and a coating made for exterior coastal walls help the finish last longer.
Yes. We quote body corporates and managing agents for repainting several units, boundary walls and gates. We can phase the work block by block to keep disruption down.
Yes. An empty home is the easiest to paint. Send photos of the rooms and the date you need it done, and we will plan the job around it.
Yes. We clean the roof, treat rust or fix cracked tiles and then paint it. We also check the flashings and seal any spots where water could get in.
Late summer and autumn usually work well, when the wind drops and the rain has not started. We avoid painting outside on very windy or wet days, because sand and moisture spoil the finish.
Yes. Our painting team covers Table View, Milnerton, Sunningdale and the rest of the Blaauwberg area.
