Painters Chatswood
How often my home’s exterior should be painted?
Most of the home owners have a repaint cycle of about 5 to 7 years. But it’s a great idea to walk around the exterior of your home every during Spring and Fall to look for any damages such as cracking caulk, peeling paint, or splitting wood. If you can get to these minor areas before they become major, you’ll save a lot of money in the long run. If it’s time for your home to be repainted, you can hire Brushworks Painting & Maintenance P/L. Our house painters in Chatswood have many years of experience in this field and so we will provide complete satisfaction with your project.
How many coats of paint do I really need on my home?
A couple of factors effect this decision. On the exterior we use a very thick primer and top coat of the highest quality paint. If you are choosing the same colour or just a shade off then one coat of each will cover just fine. If the colour is going to change dramatically then our painters in Chatswood use 2 coats of exterior paint. Stain jobs are two coats unless you insist on just one and the wood isn’t very dry. We occasionally will do two coats on the sunny side of the house and one elsewhere but normally we encourage you to use two coats.
Will the painters in Chatswood clean up the mess after the work is done?
Most painting projects do, in fact, get a little messy. We understand the inconvenience it’s causing you, with your furniture moved, drop cloths, and plastic hanging all over, etc. We do our very best to minimize the disruption to your everyday life, and get out of there as quickly as possible. We are fanatics about cleaning up after ourselves every day we are on site, and especially when we are all done. We want you to start enjoying your newly transformed space right away.
When is primer needed during house painting?
Primarily, primer is designed to seal up porous surfaces to make it ready for paint. There are various reasons why primer would be needed on a house painting project. Primers come in all different flavours though some are specially designed for blocking out stains, some are fast or slow drying, others go on heavy to fill in cracks or crevices. Anytime you have bad stains, bare drywall or wood, we have to use a primer.
How do I choose the right exterior paint colour?
Paint manufacturers have colour fan decks that group exterior colours together or you could simply hire us and we’ll help you finding the right exterior paint colour during our painting services Chatswood. Most people start out by looking at their existing neighbourhood or others close by to look for inspiration. There may be elements of your house you won’t be changing such as brick, stone, or other architectural items. The roof colour/texture on the home is also a factor in which colour to pick.
