What changes the price
- Condition and prep. Peeling paint, rotten timber, lime staining and rust take longer to fix than a sound surface. Prep is where a lasting job is won or lost.
- Size and height. Two-storey homes need scaffolding or extra access equipment.
- Cladding. Weatherboard, plaster, brick, cedar and metal each need different primers and products.
- Detail. Villa trims, joinery and lots of windows add hours.
- Paint system. We use Resene and Dulux, with low-VOC options where possible.
- Colour change. A big change from dark to light can need an extra coat.
