House Painting for Observatory homes & businesses
Exterior walls in Observatory deal with winter rain, strong summer sun and wind-blown grit, so hairline cracks and faded, chalky paint are common. We repair and seal the surface first, then repaint with coatings made for Cape conditions, inside and out.
Observatory's semi-detached Victorian homes often have tricky shared roofs and parapets we waterproof. Some of the highest rainfall in the city, lots of tree cover and shade, which is exactly where moss, lichen and damp walls take hold.
Our house painting service
A paint job is only as good as the preparation underneath it. Before we open a tin, we wash down the walls, fill and seal cracks, patch blown plaster and prime bare or chalky surfaces. Outside, we use weather-resistant paints suited to Cape Town’s winter rain, summer UV and salty coastal air. Inside, we protect your floors and furniture, cut in clean lines and leave the house tidy at the end of each day. We paint exterior walls, gables, fascias, boundary walls, interiors, ceilings, staircases and kitchen cupboards, for homeowners, landlords and new builds.

House Painting FAQs
How much does it cost to paint a house in Cape Town?
It depends on the size of the house, the condition of the walls and how much preparation they need. We do a free on-site quote and give you a written, itemised price with no hidden extras.
Do you fix cracks before painting?
Yes. Cracks are opened up, filled with a flexible filler and sealed, and damaged plaster is patched before painting. Painting over cracks just hides them for a season.
How long does exterior house painting take?
Most houses take three to seven working days, depending on size, repairs and the weather. We don’t paint in rain or when walls are damp.
Which paint do you use?
We use quality, trade-grade paints from trusted brands, and choose the product for the surface and exposure, for example elastomeric coatings on cracked or coastal exterior walls.
