Our Exterior House Painting Projects
Somerfield - Exterior Trim & Gable Painting
It had been eight years since we last painted this Summerfield property, so it was due for a full refresh. Colonial-style windows were installed to create a striking feature and enhance the character of the home. Our work focused on carefully preparing and finishing these windows, along with sections of the gable ends. The detailed framework of the colonial style required precision to ensure sharp, consistent lines across every mullion and corner. Full-gloss enamel was used to achieve a high-impact finish, giving the windows depth and vibrancy while protecting them for years to come. This project demonstrates the value of meticulous preparation and product choice in achieving a premium finish that not only restores but also elevates the home’s exterior character.

Ohoka - Cedar Re-Oiling
Okoka, Canterbury - Exterior Timber Oiling
It had been 2-3 years since this stunning home had its full cedar exterior oiled, making it the perfect time to give it the care it deserved. The project started with a comprehensive washdown to remove any mold, moss, dirt, and stains, ensuring nothing would interfere with the oil’s ability to penetrate the wood. Given that oiling can be a messy process due to the product's consistency, we took extra precautions to protect every part of the property, including the deck, windows, driveway, and foundations. We also carefully timed the work to shield us from wind and the elements. Finally, we applied Drydens WoodOil, a high quality penetrating oil that soaks deep into the timber over time creating an in-built, weatherproof coat that preserved the cedars natural beauty as the true feature.
Avondale - Full Exterior
Avondale, Christchurch - Exterior House Painting
When it comes to selling your home, first impressions are everything. Our clients came to us looking to restore the beauty of their property before listing it on the market—a smart decision to maximise its value. The home featured a mix of old and new elements, which required different paint systems tailored to the condition and age of the surfaces. Since the project was completed during the colder months, we used professional winter-grade additives to ensure the paint cured properly despite the dropping temperatures overnight, allowing us to work efficiently and maintain proper drying times between coats. The result was a home that looked as good, if not better, than the day it was built—leaving our clients confident that their home would not only impress potential buyers but also provide them with peace of mind knowing it will be well-protected for years to come.
Burwood - Downpipes & Guttering
Burwood, Christchurch - Exterior House Painting
This home had been renovated shortly after the quake, with the roof replaced, but the guttering, fascia, and downpipes had never been properly tied in. After a thorough clean, we prepped and primed the original guttering system with Galvo-One, a high-performance solventborne primer to ensure excellent adhesion and longevity. We then applied two coats of Lumbersider, a durable, self-priming exterior paint, carefully colour-matched to the roof. Using an airless sprayer, we achieved a flawless finish that made it look as though the entire guttering system had been created at the Colorsteel factory itself. The result was a seamless, professional finish that made the whole exterior appear cohesive, as though all elements were completed simultaneously.
