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.
We have years painting homes in Christchurch and we know how local weather and building materials behave. Our crew is trained on surface prep, colour matching, and coatings that last, and we stand out for tidy job sites, careful masking, and work that passes the fingertip test.
You get clear pricing in writing, a simple schedule, and a tidy site at the end of each day. We test colours with samples, match primers and topcoats to the surface, and finish with a walk-through and a workmanship warranty you can count on.
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.
Most paint jobs fail from rushing prep, painting over chalk, picking the wrong primer, or painting in direct sun or near the dew point, and that leads to peeling within a season, mildew growth, and wood rot, so we plan the weather window and product match before we open a can.
