Painters in Ulladulla

The houses here

Ulladulla is the biggest town at the northern end of the run, built around a working harbour with a real commercial centre. Housing spans everything from older fibro and brick near the water through to substantial newer builds on the ridges, plus unit blocks and townhouse complexes.

What the weather does to paint in Ulladulla

A working harbour town gets constant salt air, and the town centre adds exhaust and grime on top of it. Commercial frontages here need a genuine wash and degrease before coating rather than a rinse. On the residential side the exposure is straightforward coastal and the usual rules apply.

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.
