Painting Built on Proper Preparation
Claremont mixes established family homes, older character properties, and modern flats, and each brings its own painting challenges. Older plaster crazes and cracks, timber windows need sealing, and walls in this part of the Southern Suburbs take genuine damp through winter.
A good paint job is decided before the first coat goes on. We clean, fill, sand, and prime properly, then apply quality trade paints neatly so your interiors and exteriors look sharp and stay that way for longer.

Local Knowledge
What We Look For on Claremont Homes
Paint fails for a reason. These are the issues we most often find on properties in the area, and each one is dealt with during preparation rather than covered over.
Rising & Penetrating Damp
Older Claremont homes often show damp along skirtings and outside walls. We identify the cause and treat the surface before painting rather than sealing the problem in.
Hairline Cracks in Old Plaster
Decades-old plaster moves and crazes. We open, fill, and seal cracks properly so they do not reappear through the new coat within a season.
Timber Windows & Frames
Many properties in the area still have their original timber windows. These need sanding, priming, and enamel work to stay sealed against Cape winters.
Sun-Faded Facades
North and west-facing walls take heavy sun and fade unevenly. We match and recoat with UV-stable exterior paint for a consistent finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Painting in Claremont
Key painting questions for Claremont homeowners — covering interior and exterior work, older homes, damp, preparation, costs, timelines, and quotes.
Do you work throughout Claremont?
Yes. We paint homes and commercial properties across Claremont and the surrounding Southern Suburbs, including Newlands, Kenilworth, Rondebosch, Bishopscourt, and Wynberg.
How much does painting a house in Claremont cost?
Costs depend on the area to be painted, the condition of the surfaces, the preparation needed, and the paint used. Single rooms can start from around R2,500, while full interiors and exteriors are quoted after a site visit.
Can you paint older or heritage homes?
Yes. Many Claremont properties are older, with original plaster, timber windows, and period detailing. We prepare these surfaces carefully and choose paint systems that suit the age of the building.
How long does a repaint take?
A single room is often done in a day or two. A full interior or exterior repaint takes longer depending on the size of the property, the preparation required, and drying time between coats.
What do you do about damp and flaking paint?
We treat these as part of preparation. Flaking paint is scraped back, cracks are filled and sealed, and damp areas are addressed before priming, so the new finish is not applied over a failing surface.
Can we stay in the house while you paint?
In most cases, yes. We work room by room, protect floors and furniture, and keep the site tidy so you can carry on using the rest of your home.
Do you help with colour choices?
Yes. We can advise on colours and finishes and confirm your selections before work begins, so the finished result matches what you expect.
