Exterior House Painting in Christchurch
A fresh exterior protects your home and lifts its street appeal. Weatherboard, plaster and brick homes across Christchurch are covered, from character bungalows to modern builds. Thorough prep and premium paints give a finish that lasts for years.
Prep That Makes Your Exterior Paint Last
Most paint failures start with poor preparation. Every surface is washed, scraped, sanded, filled and primed, so new coats bond properly and stand up to Canterbury sun, wind and frost. It takes longer, but it really pays off.
Our exterior painting process
From first visit to final sign-off, here's exactly what to expect.
Free quote & site measure
We inspect the cladding, joinery, access, height work and any repairs needed. You get a clear, itemised no-obligation quote.
Colour consultation (if requested)
Want a hand choosing the exterior colours? After the quote is accepted, and subject to our terms, our trusted colour consultant will work with you on colours and sheens so the house looks amazing — at our cost.
Job booked
Once approved, we lock in start dates around access and suitable weather.
Scaffold (if required)
Safe access is set up before work starts. Only used where height or the house layout requires it.
Waterblast / house wash
The exterior is washed to remove dirt, moss, contaminants and loose coating so the new system bonds properly.
Masking & protection
Windows are masked and floors, paths and gardens are protected before prep and painting begin.
Thorough prep & undercoats
Surfaces are repaired, prepared and undercoated where needed so the top coats last and the finish is even.
Premium top coats
Premium top coats are applied to the specified areas for a durable, even finish.
Demask, clean-up & quality check
Masking is removed, the site is left tidy, and a full quality check is carried out to confirm the finish meets the agreed standard before sign-off.

Frequently asked questions
How Much Does Residential Painting in Christchurch Cost?
The cost of hiring a residential painter in Christchurch depends on a variety of factors such as the paint you choose, the size of the job, repairs if any, your requirements and more. Moreover, the cost of interior painting differs from exterior painting. That’s why we provide a free on-site consultation and quote where our Christchurch painters visit your property for an inspection and discuss your requirements to provide an accurate quote.
How Long Do You Take to Complete a Painting Project?
This entirely depends on the size of the house, the job specifications and how much time we have to spend preparing the surface being painted. Without knowing the scope of the job, it’s difficult to answer this question. However, when presenting our proposal for the job, our Canterbury painters will provide a rough timeline for completing the job including start and finish dates. Our residential painters in Christchurch are efficient, reliable and fast, so we strive to complete the job at the earliest.
How Long Will the Exterior Paint Job Last?
This entirely depends on the type of paint you choose. As a general rule of thumb, exterior walls must be repainted every 5 to 10 years. It’s best not to wait until the paint is peeling badly.
Do You Offer a Guarantee?
Yes, all of our painting work is covered by a guarantee. Most exterior paint jobs last 15 years. And when it comes to interior paint jobs, it entirely depends on you. Given that the interior is not exposed to the vagaries of nature, it won’t need a repaint for several years.
Should I Move Out While My House is Being Painted?
Not necessarily. When it comes to painting a house, we typically work one section at a time. If we are painting your entire home, we usually paint the living areas and bedrooms first for minimal disruption. If you are allergic or do not like the smell of paint, we offer “No VOC” paints. However, we mostly use “Low VOC” paints.
