“Brad was excellent and so easy to deal with. He delivered a fantastic finish to our external painting job adding significant value to our property.”
What you can expect
A good exterior lasts because of the prep.
Most of the paint failures we see around Wanaka come down to what happened before the first coat. Dirty surfaces, chalky old paint and bare timber left exposed. We take the time to get that part right.
We’ll look over the house with you, point out what needs doing now (and what can wait), then give you a clear written quote. No pressure.

02Prepare
Wash, scrape back failing paint, sand and spot prime bare timber. The part that decides how long it lasts.

Exterior coatings applied in the right conditions, by brush, roller or sprayer to suit the cladding.

Questions we often get
Can’t see yours here? Give Brad a call on +64 22 106 0336. Happy to talk it through, no pressure.
How much does exterior painting cost in Wanaka?
It depends on the size of the house, the cladding, access and the condition of the existing paint. We’ll come and have a look, then give you a clear written quote covering prep, products and every surface included.
When is the best time to paint outside in Wanaka?
Late spring through to autumn is ideal. We can paint outside in cooler months when the weather allows, but we avoid frosty mornings, rain and very hot afternoons so the paint cures properly. Summer books up, so it pays to get in early.
How long does an exterior repaint take?
Most homes take one to two weeks, depending on size, prep and the weather. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe with your quote and keep you posted if the forecast changes things.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Not at all. Plenty of our clients are at work or overseas while we paint. We agree access beforehand and send progress photos as we go.
Will my house need scaffolding?
We’ll let you know at the quote stage if any part of the house needs scaffolding and how it will be handled, so there are no surprises later.
What paint do you use?
Exterior systems from Dulux and Resene, picked for Central Otago’s UV and frost. We’ll recommend products and sheen levels to suit your cladding.
