The Process
Each project begins with an onsite inspection to determine your
requirements, view the work area, make recommendations, and discuss any
options. We explain to you the steps involved in the painting process,
paying particular attention to the level of preparation work needed to
achieve the desired finish.
We will then prepare a detailed written quotation so you know that what is discussed is what will be carried out.
An excellent paint job, in some cases, can take many times longer to complete than an average one, especially if the project requires extensive preparation to make sound the existing surfaces. This will be reflected in the price. The quality of workmanship we provide combined with the premium products we use, will ensure you get a job that will last the distance.
When it comes to carrying out the work, we keep you informed throughout the process. If anything unexpected arises, for example location of rotten timber or any other building issues, we will bring this to your attention and discuss and make recommendations.
Here are some things to expect from us when working in and around your home.
Interior Work
Cover and protect all furniture, flooring and adjacent surfaces from paint spills and dust
Ensure surfaces are clean to allow good adhesion of the first coat of paint
Use low VOC water based products, where possible, to minimise the odours and effect upon the environment
Vacuum the floor and tidy up upon completion
Exterior Work
Clean all surfaces. This is usually a pre paint chemical
clean/water blast to remove moss, mould and other contaminants
Use vacuum attachment when power sanding,where possible, to minimise dust released to the environment
Recommend and use acrylic paint on exterior windows for a much longer lasting finish in this labour intensive area
Only add thinner to coatings to aid application in warm conditions, so as to achieve the paint company recommended spreading rates. Good paint
film build is critical to the life span of the coating. This is essential with the harsh New Zealand UV rays, and Auckland's predominantly marine environment.
