About Us
Flaking paint, water stains, and faded siding spread fast and turn into wood rot and bigger bills if you wait. At Local Canterbury Painters in Christchurch, we fix it right as your interior house painter, exterior house painter, and roof painter with careful prep, tight masking, and coatings matched to each surface so the finish holds up.
We have painted hundreds of homes in Christchurch, so we know which products last on stucco, wood, fibre cement, metal, and tile. Our crew follows a step by step process that includes washing, scraping, sanding, repairs, priming, and two finish coats, and a working lead safe plan for homes built before 1978.
Most exteriors need new paint every five to ten years in our climate and high traffic interiors often need touch ups or repaint in three to five. You get clear pricing, daily updates, careful masking, and clean edges, and we use the right products for each surface such as 100 percent acrylic on siding, low odour paint inside, mildew resistant finishes in baths, and we plan around weather so your paint cures right.
Interior painting covers walls, ceilings, trim, cabinets, and stain blocking, and we patch nail pops, sand between coats, prime stains with shellac or oil based primer, spray and back roll large areas, and use low volatile organic compound paint in bedrooms and nurseries so the air stays clean, while the right sheen in kitchens and baths wipes clean and holds up. Exterior painting calls for washing at the right pressure, scraping to sound paint, spot priming bare wood, caulking joints, replacing rotten boards, and coating when temperatures are between about 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit and the surface is dry below about fifteen percent moisture so you avoid peeling and lap marks, and roof painting means safety harness tie offs, rust treatment and metal primer on steel, the right coating for tile or metal, and watching wind and roof temperature to avoid overspray and poor adhesion. Common mistakes are painting over chalk, skipping primer, rushing the dry time, or painting too close to the dew point, and these cause early failure, blotchy colour, and leaks.
