Painters in Mogo

The houses here

Mogo is a highway village with a genuine heritage main street, so there is a run of timber shopfronts and older buildings alongside the houses in the streets behind and the properties on acreage out from the village. Commercial and residential sit right next to each other here more than they do anywhere else nearby.

What the weather does to paint in Mogo

Inland enough that salt is not the driver. The main pressures are sun on the highway frontages, dust, and the general wear that comes with a street people actually walk down. On the heritage frontages the job is often about matching what is already there and keeping the detail crisp rather than changing the look.

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 the Eurobodalla, that is the one thing worth being firm about.
