Interior & Exterior Painting
Walls, trim and siding, prepared the same way as the woodwork
Painting done to a finisher's standard rather than a roller-and-run standard. The preparation is the same discipline the woodwork gets: surfaces washed down, cracks and nail holes filled and sanded flush, bare and patched areas spot-primed, and everything that is not being painted masked off properly. Interior walls, ceilings and trim, and exterior siding, fascia and doors — cut in clean and laid off evenly.
How We Work
Look at the Work
We come out and look at the piece itself — the species, the existing finish, how much of it has failed, and what the grain will do once it is stripped back. What the wood is tells us what the finish has to be.
Strip & Prepare
Hardware off, surfaces masked, old finish taken back properly, then sanded through the grits and dusted down. Preparation is most of the job — a finish is only ever as good as what it went onto.
Colour & Finish
Stain matched and worked into the grain evenly, then the finish built in thin coats — lacquer, varnish or water-based, whichever suits the piece — with a light cut between coats so the surface stays flat.
Cure & Rehang
The finish is left to harden before anything is handled, then hardware goes back on, doors and drawers are rehung and adjusted to sit true, and we clean the site down before we leave it.
