Painters in Milton

The houses here

Milton is a heritage village sitting on the hill behind Ulladulla, with a main street of genuinely old buildings and a lot of period housing behind it. Out from the village it turns into rural properties and acreage. Between the heritage detail and the farm buildings, very little of the work here is standard suburban repainting.

What the weather does to paint in Milton

Inland and elevated, so salt is much less of an issue than sun, frost and age. Old timber is the recurring problem. Multiple layers of old coatings, some of them decades deep, mean the honest answer is often that a surface needs stripping rather than another coat over the top. That gets said before the quote, not after.

What happens on the day

Furniture gets covered and floors get sheeted before anything is opened. Andrew and the crew work through the surfaces in order, the gear goes away at the end of each day, and you get your house back each evening rather than living in a work site for a fortnight. Every painter on site is licensed and the whole team is insured.

How a quote gets written

Andrew comes out, looks at the actual surfaces and writes the job down. The surfaces, the preparation, the products and the number of coats, all listed, so you can hold it next to anybody else's quote and see where the difference is. It is free and there is no obligation at the end of it.

A cheap quote on this coast is almost always a quote with the wash down, the scrape and the primer left out of it. That is not a saving, it is a repaint you pay for twice. Over 25 years working this coast, that is the one thing worth being firm about.
