Apartments typically complete in three to five working days, while freestanding family homes run five to seven days. Duration depends on scope, access, weather windows and drying times. Exteriors near the ocean may require extra prep and cure time to ensure a stable finish that resists salt and UV.

We start with a fresh water washdown and salt neutraliser to remove airborne salts that weaken adhesion. Surfaces are allowed to dry to the correct moisture range before primers and topcoats. We then specify breathable exterior systems and UV stable finishes so the coating sheds water, releases trapped moisture and holds colour in bright coastal light.

Standard prep covers washing and decontamination, scraping and sanding, patching of defects and gap sealing at joins and trims. We spot prime bare and repaired areas, block stains and mask precisely for clean lines. Controlled cure times between stages allow the coating to bond and harden properly, extending longevity.

Most projects receive one substrate matched undercoat for adhesion and opacity, followed by two finish coats for colour depth and durability. High contrast colour changes, porous masonry or weathered surfaces can require an additional build coat. We measure coverage and film build to meet manufacturer specifications.

Yes. We favour low odour, low VOC interior systems to protect indoor air quality and allow rooms to return to service sooner. These coatings now offer excellent scrub resistance and stain release, so you get both healthy interiors and durable finishes suited to family living.

We advise on colour families and sheen levels that perform in bright coastal light and high UV. Guidance includes light reflectance values, glare control and heat gain, with on wall sample panels so you can view selections at different times of day. This ensures the chosen palette stays true and practical.

We plan schedules with buffer days and continuously monitor forecasts for wind, humidity and rainfall. If conditions are not suitable for exterior work, we resequence tasks or move indoors to maintain progress without risking the finish. Communication is proactive so you always know the plan.

Yes. We coordinate approvals, provide licences, insurance and SWMS, and stage works to reduce noise and traffic in common areas. Lifts, corridors and entries are protected daily, and notices inform residents about access, ventilation and timelines. Handover includes a compliance pack for records.
