Local painters who know South Perth

We are painters in South Perth, the riverside suburb directly across the Swan River from the Perth city skyline. South Perth housing is a mix of classic character homes with timber weatherboards and verandas, renovated family homes, and modern apartments along the river. The character homes are the most interesting part of our work here, and we have restored a good number of them.
The character homes in South Perth, particularly the weatherboard and fibro homes with wide verandas from the early and mid-1900s, need careful preparation. Timber that has been painted over many times needs the right scraping, sanding, and priming rather than a quick paint-over, and we do that properly. These homes are a big part of what makes South Perth special, and they deserve to be repainted with that in mind. A full exterior repaint on a character home is one of our most satisfying jobs.
There are also plenty of solid brick homes from the 1960s and 70s across South Perth, where the render chalks and the eaves stain. These respond well to a full interior repaint plus exterior freshen-up, and many owners do both when they buy an established home.
Being on the river means South Perth homes get higher humidity and stronger morning dew than the inland suburbs. It is not harsh salt spray, but it does mean proper preparation and quality exterior coatings matter. Homes right along the riverfront also get more weather exposure, and we use the right systems for that.
South Perth homeowners tend to be long-term owners who care about their homes, and the apartments along the river need periodical repaints of their balconies and external fittings. We work on both the traditional homes and the modern buildings, and we keep the site tidy because streets are often tighter here than in the outer suburbs.
Parking and access are worth planning in South Perth, with narrow streets and busy roads on the river side of the suburb. We factor that into the quote and the schedule so the job runs smoothly.

Painting homes around South Perth
Recent South Perth work includes a full exterior repaint on a character weatherboard home near the foreshore. The job involved scraping back years of old paint on the weatherboards, sanding and spot-priming the bare timber, repainting the veranda and timber window frames, and applying two coats of quality exterior paint. The owner had the interior repainted in the same job. South Perth quotes depend on the age and condition of the home, the amount of timber prep on character homes, and whether you want an exterior repaint and interior repaint done together. Fixed prices are given up front.

“They repainted our character weatherboard home near the South Perth foreshore. The old paint needed proper preparation and they did it patiently. The veranda and timber windows look fantastic and the finish has held up well.”
