FAQ
Exterior Painting questions
Can you plaster and paint in the same job?
Yes, and it's usually the best way to do it. We schedule the painting so the plaster has cured properly, and you deal with one crew and one quote for the whole finish.
How often should a plastered exterior be repainted?
Most acrylic-coated plaster exteriors are due for a re-coat every 8 to 12 years depending on sun exposure and colour. Repainting before the coating fails is much cheaper than repairing the plaster underneath.
What time of year is best for exterior painting in Canterbury?
Spring through autumn is ideal, but we can paint on dry winter days as long as temperatures stay within the paint manufacturer's range. We'll be honest with you about timing.
