Painters in Surf Beach

The houses here

Surf Beach is a solid residential run of brick and fibro homes on regular blocks, with a good number of long-term owners. Houses here are generally maintained rather than neglected, so a lot of the work is a repaint on schedule rather than a rescue. That makes for cleaner jobs and better outcomes, because the substrate is still sound when it gets touched.

What the weather does to paint in Surf Beach

Close enough to the water for salt to matter, sheltered enough that it works its way in slowly. The typical failure is a chalked north or east wall and fascias that have gone flat while the rest of the house still looks passable. Catching it at that point is the difference between a wash, sand and two coats, and a full strip.

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.
