Exterior painting questions
When is the best time to paint outside in Melbourne?
Mild, dry weather is best, which usually means spring through autumn. We schedule around the forecast and will not paint in rain or extreme heat.
Do I need to be home while you work?
No. As long as we can reach the outside of the house and a power and water point, you can carry on as normal.
Can you fix rotten timber before painting?
We point out any damaged timber during the inspection and include repairs in your quote, so there are no surprises once work starts.
