WHY CHOOSE EXTERIOR PAINTING SERVICES?

Exterior house painting is more than a cosmetic upgrade. It offers significant benefits, including:

  1. Protection Against Weather:
    • Exterior surfaces endure constant exposure to rain, UV rays, and fluctuating temperatures. Proper painting shields these surfaces, extending their lifespan.
  2. Enhanced Longevity:
    • High-quality paints and professional application prevent wear and tear, reducing maintenance needs over time.
  3. Increased Property Value:
    • A fresh and appealing exterior boosts curb appeal, enhancing your home’s market value.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PAINT A HOUSE?

When considering the optimal time for house painting, spring and summer emerge as the most favourable seasons, featuring warm, dry days that create ideal conditions for exterior house painting. It’s advisable to monitor the weather forecast, targeting a dry spell spanning several days to ensure adequate time for painting and drying, especially when applying multiple coats.

For the best results, paint application is recommended at temperatures ranging from 10 to 21 degrees Celsius, with the entire process typically taking between 4 and 5 hours. Painting in damp conditions can prolong the curing time and impact paint adherence. Manufacturer guarantees often emphasize the necessity of painting in favourable weather, implying that poor results obtained during adverse conditions may not be eligible for reimbursement. Therefore, it’s crucial to plan painting projects during periods of good weather to ensure both quality outcomes and financial protection.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I PAINT MY PROPERTY’S EXTERIOR?

Determining the frequency of exterior painting on your property involves several considerations. Our recommendation is to paint your house every 5–10 years, taking into account various influencing factors:

Location

The proximity of your house to specific environments plays a crucial role. Homes located by the beach or in more polluted areas may require more frequent painting due to increased weathering caused by wind-blown salt and chemical compounds in the air.

Nearby Trees

The growth of nearby trees can impact the amount of light reaching your property, creating a damp environment that accelerates paint deterioration. Water infiltration under existing layers may lead to blistering and cracking of the paintwork.

Direct Sunlight

While sunlight is essential for drying out rain, constant exposure to UV rays can result in the paintwork fading. Intense temperature changes may also cause contraction and expansion, leading to cracks in certain types of paint.

Climbing Plants

Certain climbing plants, like ivy, can creep along your walls and cause damage. Their tiny offshoots may dig into the paintwork and harm the underlying render.

Weather Patterns

Natural elements such as storms, rain, and hail can naturally impact the longevity of paintwork. In regions like New Zealand, moisture is a common concern.

Paints applied under optimal conditions on a cleaned and primed surface tend to have a longer lifespan. While some exterior paints offer extensive guarantees, ranging up to 15 years, it’s advisable to repaint your house before this period expires. This proactive approach ensures your home maintains its aesthetic appeal and remains shielded from the elements without a vulnerable period.

HOW MANY COATS DO I NEED TO APPLY TO THE EXTERIOR?

In the realm of exterior house painting, it is generally recommended to apply two coats for optimal results. A single coat may result in less effective coverage, leading to dissatisfaction with the quality and potentially necessitating repainting sooner than anticipated.

Applying a second coat seals the colour and maximizes the painting job’s lifespan. Consequently, opting to paint your home with multiple coats proves more cost-effective in the long run than applying a single coat more frequently. This approach ensures a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish that stands the test of time.

CAN I PAINT OVER EXISTING PAINTWORK?

Is it possible to paint over existing paintwork? As per guidance from our expert painters, the answer is affirmative – there are instances where you can directly paint over existing paintwork. However, we recommend this approach only if the original paint is in good condition and you simply aim to change the colour.

If the old paint is peeling or flaking, it’s advisable to remove it. Typically, our process involves using a wire brush or jet washer for this phase, followed by sanding the surface and addressing any cracks. The application of a primer is essential before adding the new coat of paint.

The success of your exterior house painting project is contingent upon the condition of the surface you’re painting. Painting over deteriorating wood or bricks with mortar issues won’t miraculously fix those problems. In most cases, underlying damage will expedite the paint’s deterioration. Therefore, it’s crucial to paint onto a stable and well-prepared base only for optimal results.
