Exterior Painting Services
We handle exterior painting for homes and businesses in Cape Town and nearby. Our team does repainting, touch-ups, and protective sealing. We also paint trim and windows and mask rooflines carefully.
We offer color consultations and many swatches to help you pick the right finish.
Comprehensive exterior painting services we provide
We prepare and paint every job, big or small. This includes cleaning, minor repairs, and priming. We then apply topcoats for a smooth finish.
We use brushes, rollers, and sprayers based on the job’s needs.
Surface types we treat: plaster, brick, stone, textured paint, and wood
We paint plaster, brick, stone, and textured surfaces. We sand and prime wood trim. Metal gets special treatment for adhesion and durability.
Finishes and paint types: acrylic, acrylic PVA, undercoat, primer, and protective coatings
We pick primers and undercoats based on the surface. For topcoats, we use acrylic paint and PVA for UV protection. We also offer protective coatings against moisture and mildew.
Coating strategy: primer, apply two coats, undercoat, and final protective coat for UV and moisture resistance
Our method starts with the right primer. We add an undercoat when needed, then two topcoats for durability. A final coat shields against UV and moisture for stone, brick, and wood.
Our Exterior Painting Process and Preparation Techniques
We start with a free on-location consultation. We assess the condition, measure surfaces, and talk about colors and finishes. Our quotes are clear, detailed, and cover all costs so you know what to expect.
Free on-location consultation and accurate, transparent quotes
During the visit, we identify extra prep areas and list needed materials. This helps us plan, order the right products, and set expectations before starting.
Thorough surface preparation: wash, cleaner, sand, scuff sanding, and remove dust and mildew
To get exterior walls ready, we use a pressure wash with a special cleaner. This removes dirt, salt, algae, and mildew. It makes the paint stick better and last longer.
Next, we sand and scuff sand glossy or worn spots. This makes the surface even. We remove loose paint and sand rough areas for better primer adhesion. Then, we wipe down to remove dust.
Repair and fill: filler, crack repair, bonding liquid, and smoothing rough or uneven surfaces
We fix cracks and holes with exterior filler. For extra adhesion, we use bonding liquid on old or weathered areas. We smooth out uneven spots for even painting.
Priming and masking: choosing the right plaster primer and mask windows and rooflines
We pick the right primer based on the surface and exposure. Priming seals the surface and helps the topcoat cover evenly.
Before painting, we mask windows, rooflines, and fittings to protect them. We also cover landscaping and walkways to keep them clean during painting and drying.
- Inspect and quote on-site
- Wash with approved cleaner and remove mildew
- Sand, scuff sanding, and remove dust
- Perform crack repair, filler work, and apply bonding liquid where needed
- Apply plaster primer then mask windows, rooflines, and fixtures
Choosing Colours, Materials, and Long-Term Protection
We help clients pick the perfect colour for their home. We consider the home’s surroundings, roof tones, and curb appeal. We use real samples to ensure colours look good in sunlight.
Natural fired earth colours are popular for their warm, timeless look. Contrasting trims can make windows and doors stand out.
Paint brands are important for matching products to the home’s needs. We suggest Dulux and Plascon for their quality. We choose primers, undercoats, and topcoats from the same system for the best results.
Durability is key in our work. We focus on UV, mildew, and moisture protection. This keeps the paint looking good in strong sunlight and coastal areas.
Texture and finish are important for both looks and performance. Smooth finishes are best for timber and metal. Textured paint hides flaws and adds depth to plaster, stone, or masonry.
We also give tips on applying and caring for the paint. We explain drying times, brushes, rollers, and techniques for even coats. Regular maintenance keeps the paint looking great for longer.
- Consider surroundings and light when choosing exterior colours.
- Match Dulux or Plascon product systems for optimal adhesion.
- Specify UV resistance and mildew resistance for coastal exposure.
- Pick textured paint to disguise surface faults or a smooth finish for refined detail.
