The Challenge
Every home reaches a point where the exterior begins to show the effects of years of exposure to the coastal environment. This modern two-storey home in Torquay was still structurally in great condition, but the existing paintwork had started to lose its fresh appearance.
The homeowners wanted to restore the home's clean, modern look while giving the exterior longer-lasting protection against the local weather.

Scope of Work
Our Approach
After inspecting the property, our 2-person painting team developed a plan that focused on thorough preparation before any paint was applied.
The team assessed the home to understand the condition of every exterior surface and plan the job accordingly.
Every surface was carefully cleaned to remove dirt, grime and any residue before inspection for repair work.
Minor imperfections were repaired to create a smooth foundation, one of the most important steps in achieving a finish that performs for years.
The upper cladding and rendered walls were repainted using premium exterior paint systems selected for Australian conditions.
Fascias, eaves, the pergola structure and exterior timberwork were painted for a cohesive appearance across every surface.
Consistent application and attention to detail ensured crisp lines and an even finish, followed by a full clean-up of the site.

Common Questions
Ongoing exposure to salt-laden air, UV, and moisture accelerates paint breakdown on coastal properties, so exteriors in areas like Torquay generally need repainting sooner than the same home would further inland.
It's a good opportunity to. Painting a pergola and exterior timberwork alongside the main house ensures a consistent, cohesive finish across the whole property, rather than having mismatched or weathered timber next to freshly painted walls.
It's one of the most important steps. Thoroughly cleaning every surface and repairing minor imperfections before painting creates a smooth, sound base that helps the new coating look even and last significantly longer.
A white colour scheme brightens a property and suits contemporary architecture particularly well, giving the home a clean, current look while also helping reflect heat, which can be an advantage in a coastal climate.
It depends on the size and complexity of the property, but a two-person team is common for a standard two-storey family home, allowing for efficient preparation and painting across cladding, render, fascias, eaves and other exterior elements.
The Result
By the end of the project, the transformation was immediately noticeable. The fresh white colour scheme brightened the entire property, enhanced its contemporary architecture, and significantly improved its street appeal.
More importantly, the new paint system provides the homeowners with durable protection against Torquay's coastal climate while reducing future maintenance. Whether it's a complete exterior repaint or simply refreshing weathered paintwork, careful preparation and quality workmanship are what deliver results that stand the test of time.
