About Us
Peeling paint, stained ceilings, and faded siding make your home look tired and can let water in. We at Local Canterbury Painters handle full prep and professional finishes as your interior house painter, exterior house painter, and roof painter in Selwyn District.
Our crew brings strong skill and real field experience, and we stick to strict prep, moisture checks, right primer, and proper film thickness so the finish holds. We avoid shortcuts like painting over damp wood, skipping primer on bare spots, or spraying without backrolling on rough surfaces because those choices cause early peeling, stains that bleed back, and mildew that comes right through.
You get clear pricing, firm start dates, daily updates, and a clean jobsite that your neighbours appreciate. We carry full insurance, offer a written workmanship warranty, help with colour and finish choices, and use low and zero volatile organic compound options that are easier on families and pets.
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.
