Painting jobs vary a lot in preparation and finish quality. Before booking, it's worth checking what preparation is included (washing, sanding, mould treatment, sealing and priming, minor repairs), whether they've done similar work, and exactly what the quote covers, number of coats, ceilings, trim, scaffolding and cleanup.
For exterior and roof work, ask about the paint system they'll use and why, plus timeframes and weather planning. Confirm they're insured and what any workmanship guarantee covers.
It depends on the surfaces, access, the paint system and whether it's interior, exterior or roof work, and crucially, how much preparation is needed. Always compare itemised quotes that spell out prep, number of coats and any exclusions, rather than a single headline price.
Usually yes, or they'll arrange it. A great finish relies on the surface underneath, so plaster repairs, filling and sanding are often essential before painting for a clean, durable result.
Some do, alongside house washing and roof treatments. If roof painting is part of your job, confirm they include cleaning and prep, and ask which coating system they'll use, as roofs need products suited to the material.
Drier, milder months (roughly late spring to early autumn) are ideal for exterior work, as paint needs dry, mild conditions to cure properly. Interior work can be done year-round. A good painter will watch the forecast and avoid painting onto damp surfaces.
With thorough preparation and a quality paint system, an exterior repaint typically lasts 7–10+ years. Coastal and weather-exposed East Auckland homes, and surfaces in full sun, may need attention sooner, washing the house occasionally helps it last.
Reputable East Auckland painters include preparation, washing, scraping, sanding, mould treatment, filling and priming. Prep is what makes a finish last, so make sure it's clearly described in the quote rather than assumed.
