Sound familiar?
Most painting problems aren't paint problems. They're painter problems.
The problem
Fading, peeling, stained walls
Tired paint makes a well-loved home feel neglected — and it only heads one direction from here.
The problem
Colours that miss the vision
The wrong scheme makes rooms feel smaller, darker or dated — and you live with it every day.
The problem
Messy, unreliable painters
No-shows, drip marks, blown timelines. The trade's reputation problem isn't your job's problem — unless you hire wrong.
The fix: an accredited crew, premium Resene systems, expert colour consultation, and prep done properly — so the finish looks flawless on day one and still looks flawless in year ten.

Residential painting questions, answered
How much does residential painting cost in Auckland?
For a standard 3-bedroom Auckland home, interior painting typically runs $6,000–$12,000, and exterior painting starts around $8,000 — larger weatherboard homes can exceed $20,000 (GST included, varies with prep and condition). We do free site visits and transparent fixed-price quotes — no hidden fees. Start with the free instant estimator.
How long does it take to paint a house?
Most Auckland interiors take 5–7 working days; exteriors run 7–14 days depending on weather, surface condition and complexity. You get a clear project timeline before we start — and we stick to it.
Do I need to move out while my house is painted?
Not at all — most of our residential projects are completed while families are living in the home. We schedule room by room, cover furniture, protect flooring and clean up daily, so the house stays completely liveable.
When's the best time of year to paint in Auckland?
For exteriors, October through April — lower humidity and drier weather let paint cure properly, and we monitor conditions daily around Auckland's unpredictable rain. Interiors can be painted year-round.
Do you fix holes and cracked Gib before painting?
Yes — Gib fixing, plastering and full surface prep are part of our residential service: filling holes, repairing cracks, sanding rough walls, and replacing damaged Gib where needed. Proper prep is why our paintwork lasts.
What colours and paints do you recommend?
We primarily use Resene, formulated for NZ conditions (happy to use Dulux or specialty brands on request). Popular Auckland picks: Quarter Black White for a clean modern look, Sea Fog for soft grey, Spanish White for villas and bungalows, and Ravine for earthy greens. A free colour consult is included — and we can colour-match existing walls exactly, even without the colour name.
