Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, skirtings and doors painted cleanly in homes and rentals, with cracks filled and surfaces sanded first so the new coat goes on smoothly.
The sun in Stellenbosch fades and chalks exterior paint faster than many people expect, and rain soon finds any crack left in a tired wall. Our painters prepare the surfaces properly, then paint and waterproof so the finish lasts, so send us photos and your street for a written quote.

From older homes in the town centre to newer estate houses and student blocks, these are the painting and waterproofing jobs we do around Stellenbosch.
Walls, ceilings, skirtings and doors painted cleanly in homes and rentals, with cracks filled and surfaces sanded first so the new coat goes on smoothly.
Outside walls, boundary walls, fascias and window frames scraped, repaired and repainted to stand up to fierce valley sun and the wet months.
Tiled and metal roofs cleaned of moss and dirt, with rust spots treated and the roof repainted, which keeps it sound and refreshes the look of the house.
Flat roofs, parapet walls, balconies and roof valleys sealed against winter downpours, with cracks and failed joints repaired first.
Stellenbosch sits inland in a valley ringed by mountains, so it misses much of the sea breeze that cools the coast. Paint on north and west facing walls takes the full force of the afternoon sun for months, which leads to fading, chalking and fine cracks long before you would see them closer to the sea.
Many older houses in and around the historic centre have thick plastered walls, and some have damp at the base after years of winter rain. Painting over damp only hides the problem for a season, so we check for it first and treat it before any colour goes on. Homes in a heritage area may also have rules about exterior colours, which is worth checking before you choose.
We wash down walls, scrape away flaking paint, fill cracks and prime bare plaster or timber. Most of the life of a paint job comes from this stage, so we do not rush it.
Indoors we paint living areas, bedrooms, ceilings, doors and trim, and outside we do walls, garden walls, gutters and fascias. Furniture and floors are covered and moved back when we finish.
We clean and paint roofs and seal flat roofs, balconies and parapets, so the house stays dry once the rain arrives.
Exterior paint needs dry weather and walls that are not baking hot. In Stellenbosch, late spring and early autumn usually suit outside work best, because midsummer heat can make paint dry too fast and winter brings long spells of rain. Interior painting can happen at any time of the year, so it is a good job to plan for the wetter months.
Our team also does handyman services in Stellenbosch, flooring and tiling in Stellenbosch, building and renovations in Stellenbosch and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
