Painting an old home well is not the same as painting a new one. The colours, the finishes and the way the paint is applied all need to suit the age of the house. Done properly, a repaint brings a heritage home back to life and protects it at the same time.

Period homes were painted in particular palettes, and the right colours make a real difference to how a house sits in its street. We help you choose colours that suit the age and style of the home rather than fighting it.
A common approach is a softer body colour, a stronger trim, and a deeper tone picking out the fine detail like cornices and lace.
Old walls need to move moisture. We use paint systems that let the surface breathe, such as mineral and heritage-grade paints, so the finish does not trap damp against the wall.
Heritage detail rewards patience. We work by hand where it matters and give each coat the time it needs, so the finish looks right up close, not just from the footpath.
Surfaces are repaired, stripped where needed, and primed so the finish has a sound base.
We settle on a palette that suits the age of the home and its street.
Coats go on carefully, cutting in around the fine detail and giving each coat time.
We walk the finished work with you before we call it done.
