About Us
Peeling paint, stain bleed, and patchy colour happen when prep is rushed or the wrong products are used, and painting in bad weather only makes it worse. Local Canterbury Painters fixes that with tight surface prep, the right primers and paints for each surface, smart timing in Christchurch, and careful application as your interior house painter, exterior house painter, and roof painter.
Our crew has years of hands-on work in Christchurch and we follow a strict prep plan that includes washing, scraping, sanding, priming bare spots, tight caulking, and lead safe methods when needed before any finish coat. We avoid the mistakes that cause failure such as painting over chalky surfaces, skipping primer on patched areas, working in the wrong temperature or humidity, or laying one heavy coat that flashes and peels, which leads to blistering, leaks, and mould.
You get careful scheduling around dry, mild days, a clear written scope, and steady updates, so the job finishes on time and looks right up close. We keep a tidy site, give straight pricing, use proven paint systems, and back it with local references you can call.
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.
