About Us
Peeling trim, faded siding, and dingy walls make a good home look tired and can let water in. Local Canterbury Painters handles clean prep and durable finishes as your interior house painter, exterior house painter, and roof painter in Christchurch so your home looks sharp and stays protected.
Our crew has years of hands-on work across Christchurch on stucco, timber, brick, and metal, and we follow a prep-first method that makes the paint last. We are licensed and insured, lead safe for pre 1978 homes, and we keep a tidy site with daily checks on moisture, adhesion, and coverage.
You get steady communication, a tidy site every day, and a project lead who shows up. We follow lead safe work practices for homes built before 1978, carry full insurance, help with colour choices and samples, and we back the job with a clear warranty.
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.
