Finishes That Last

Painting Built on Proper Preparation

A good paint job is decided long before the first coat. Cape Town walls face wind-driven rain, salt air, damp, and strong sun, and paint only holds up when the surface underneath is properly cleaned, filled, sanded, and primed.

We treat preparation as the most important step, then apply quality trade paints neatly so your interiors and exteriors look sharp and stay that way for longer.

Interior, Exterior, New Build, and Repaints

We provide complete painting services for residential and commercial properties, from single-room refreshes to full exterior repaints and new build painting.

Interior Painting

Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and cupboards finished cleanly with minimal disruption to your home.

Exterior Painting

Weather-resistant coatings for walls, facades, boundary walls, and trim built for Cape Town conditions.

New Build Painting

Full painting of new homes, extensions, and outbuildings, coordinated with the rest of the build.

Repaints & Refreshes

Bringing tired interiors and faded exteriors back to life with proper preparation and quality paint.

Surface Preparation

Sanding, filling, crack repair, cleaning, and priming so the finished coat lasts and looks right.

Cost Guide

Painting Costs in Cape Town

Painting costs depend on the area, surface condition, preparation needed, number of coats, and paint type. We provide a site-specific quote before work begins.

R12,000 - R45,000

Exteriors & New Builds

Quoted on site

Exterior and new build painting varies by wall area, access, surface condition, and coating type.

Protect Your Investment

Repaint Before Small Problems Spread

Faded, cracked, or peeling paint is more than a cosmetic issue. Once the coating fails, walls are exposed to damp and weather, and small problems spread. A timely repaint with proper preparation protects the surface underneath and keeps your property looking cared for.

Frequently Asked Painting Questions

Key painting questions for Cape Town homeowners and businesses — covering interior and exterior painting, preparation, costs, timelines, and finishes.

Do you paint both interiors and exteriors?

Yes. We handle interior painting, exterior painting, boundary walls, trim, and new build work across Cape Town.

How much does painting a house cost in Cape Town?

Costs depend on the area to be painted, surface condition, preparation needed, and paint type. Single rooms can start from around R2,000, while full interiors and exteriors are quoted after assessment.

How long does a repaint take?

A single room is often completed in a day or two, while a full interior or exterior repaint takes longer depending on size, preparation, and drying time.

Do you prepare surfaces before painting?

Yes. Preparation is where a lasting finish comes from. We clean, fill cracks, sand, and prime surfaces before applying paint.

Can you help with cracks, flaking, or damp before painting?

Yes. We treat cracks, flaking paint, and problem areas as part of preparation so the new finish holds up better over time.

Do you help with colour choices?

Yes. We can advise on colours and finishes and confirm your selections before work begins so the result matches what you expect.

Do you protect furniture and floors?

Yes. We cover and protect floors, furniture, and fittings and keep the work area clean throughout the job.
