Why Choose Us for Paint Preparation in Newtown?

  1. 1

    Local Knowledge of Newtown’s Unique Architecture

    From ornate Victorian trims to sleek contemporary finishes, Newtown’s homes are diverse—and so are their prep needs. We tailor our surface preparation to suit Newtown’s heritage facades and modern materials, ensuring paint adheres beautifully and lasts longer.

  2. 2

    Coastal Weather Expertise

    Proximity to the coast means homes in Newtown face salt spray, humidity, and harsh UV. Our prep process includes moisture control, rust treatment for metal, and UV-resistant primers—so your paintwork stands the test of time (and weather).

  3. 3

    Extra Care for Long-Term Results

    We don’t cut corners—literally. Our team fills cracks, sands back imperfections, treats stains, and primes every surface correctly. It’s not glamorous work, but it’s essential. And it’s what makes our final finish exceptional.

Our Paint Preparation Process in Newtown

  • Step 1 Initial Consultation & Site Inspection

    We begin with a friendly, no-obligation visit to your Newtown property. We assess the surfaces, chat about your goals, and identify any problem areas—like peeling paint, mould, or flaking timber. You’ll get honest advice and a detailed quote (with no surprises).

  • Step 2 Surface Cleaning & Mould Removal

    Preparation starts with a deep clean. We remove dirt, greasy residue, and any surface mould using eco-friendly solutions and pressure washing where appropriate—especially important in Newtown’s shaded laneways and older homes.

  • Step 3 Sanding & Surface Repair

    We smooth out imperfections, scrape off loose paint, repair minor wall damage, and sand everything to a consistent texture. Got flaky weatherboard or damp render? No worries—we’ve got tools (and patience) for both.

  • Step 4 Crack Filling & Gap Sealing

    Even tiny cracks can let in moisture—or worse, ruin a flawless finish. We fill holes, seal gaps, and use flexible caulking compounds that move with your home’s natural shifts, especially important in older Newtown properties.

  • Step 5 Priming & Surface Conditioning

    This is where the magic starts. We apply premium primers suited to the surface—be it timber, plaster, metal or brick. It’s the foundation that ensures topcoat adhesion and colour vibrancy. (Trust us, this step matters.)

  • Step 6 Final Review Before Painting

    Before we even pick up a paintbrush, we inspect every inch. Missed a crack? We fix it. Bit of dust settled on a sill? Gone. This step ensures your surface is flawless and ready for that perfect finish. No shortcuts—ever.
