Why Exterior Painting Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make

• Fresh exterior paint protects your walls from moisture, winter damp, UV damage, and weather - it is your home's first line of defence
• A beautiful exterior makes your home stand out in the street and creates an immediately positive impression on everyone who sees it
• Well-maintained exterior paintwork adds significant value to your property - up to 5-10% in some estimates
• Peeling or cracked exterior paint lets moisture into the walls, leading to Damp Proofing, mould, and structural damage that costs thousands to fix
• Algae, moss, and lichen that grow on unpainted or poorly painted walls cause permanent staining and surface damage over time
• Good exterior paint also acts as insulation - certain formulas reduce heat absorption and help keep your home cooler in summer
• A freshly painted exterior transforms even older homes and can completely update the look without expensive renovation

Signs Your Home Needs an Exterior Repaint Right Now

• Paint is peeling, bubbling, or flaking off the walls in patches - moisture is getting underneath
• Colour has faded badly and looks dull, chalky, or patchy from the street
• You can see bare plaster or render showing through where paint has worn away
• Green or black algae and moss are growing on the walls - especially on south-facing sides
• White salt stains (efflorescence) are appearing on the walls - a sign of moisture movement
• Your home has not been repainted in more than 5 years, especially if the walls take the full afternoon sun
• You are preparing to sell or let your property and want to maximise its appeal and value

Our Professional Exterior Painting Process - Done Properly

• Step 1 - Free site inspection and quote: We visit your home, assess the full exterior condition, identify all preparation needed, and provide a detailed written quote
• Step 2 - Pressure washing: We thoroughly clean all exterior walls with a high-pressure washer to remove dirt, algae deposits, algae, loose paint, and any biological growth
• Step 3 - Surface preparation: We scrape and sand all peeling paint, fill cracks and holes with the correct exterior filler, and treat any areas of algae with a biocide wash
• Step 4 - Masking and protection: We carefully mask all windows, doors, gutters, paving, and garden features to protect them from paint overspray
• Step 5 - Alkali-resistant primer: We apply a quality exterior primer to all bare or repaired areas - this step is non-negotiable for a long-lasting finish
• Step 6 - Two coats of exterior paint: We apply two full coats of premium exterior acrylic in your chosen colour, ensuring even coverage on every surface including soffits, fascias, and window surrounds
• Step 7 - Final inspection: We walk the full perimeter with you, touch up any areas, remove all masking, and leave the site completely clean and tidy

Tips for Making Exterior Paint Last on a Green Point Property

• Rinse walls with fresh water before painting, not just pressure-wash - pressure alone drives chloride deeper into the plaster instead of removing it
• Specify by elevation. The north-west face takes the winter fronts and usually needs a higher-build or elastomeric system; the sheltered side rarely does
• Watch the wind, not just the rain. Green Point's summer south-easter rules out spray application on a lot of otherwise clear days
• Check south-facing walls for algae and lichen. These are the shaded elevations in the Southern Hemisphere and hold moisture longest, so they need a fungicidal wash and a biocide-containing coating
• Never skip primer on bare or repaired plaster - on a salt-loaded substrate it is the whole basis of adhesion
• Inspect steel window frames, balustrades and lintels at the same time as the walls. Coastal corrosion shows here first and cracks the plaster around it if left
• Keep gutters and downpipes clear before winter - water tracking down a wall through a Cape front will strip a coating faster than years of sun

What Green Point Does to an Exterior Coating

Exterior paint in Green Point fails for reasons that have very little to do with the paint itself. Air coming off the bay carries a fine, persistent salt film. It settles on plaster and render, it is hygroscopic - meaning it pulls moisture out of the air and holds it against the surface - and it wicks into any hairline crack it can find. The coating stays damp for longer than it should, adhesion degrades from underneath, and by year four you are seeing chalking and edge lift on the seaward elevations while the sheltered side still looks acceptable.

Wind compounds it. Summer south-easters come across the Common hard enough to make spray application impractical on many days, and to carry overspray well beyond the property boundary. Winter north-westerly fronts drive rain almost horizontally onto west and north-west facing walls, forcing water into cracks that would never take on water in a vertical downpour. This is why the standard advice to simply repaint every five years is close to meaningless here - it depends entirely on which way the wall faces.

The practical consequence is that a Green Point exterior should almost never be quoted as one uniform job. Weather-side elevations typically need more thorough preparation, a salt-removal wash rather than a rinse, and in beachfront positions a marine-grade or elastomeric system. Sheltered courtyard and inland-facing walls can often run a conventional premium acrylic. Pricing all four elevations identically is the single clearest sign a quote was produced without looking at the building.

How a Green Point Exterior Should Be Specified

• Fresh-water wash to remove chlorides before anything else - pressure washing alone drives salt deeper into the substrate
• Full check of steel window frames, balustrades and lintels, since coastal corrosion usually shows up at these details first
• Higher-build or elastomeric coatings on north-west facing walls that take driving winter rain
• Realistic weather scheduling - the wind window matters as much as the rain window in Green Point
• Colour choice checked against the body corporate scheme or heritage overlay before any paint is ordered
