About Us
Peeling trim, faded siding, and rooms that never feel clean can drag down your home and invite bigger problems like wood rot or roof leaks. Otago House Painters in Otago fixes that with careful prep and durable coatings as your interior house painter, exterior house painter, and roof painter.
Our crew brings tight prep, real product know-how, and smart scheduling around temperature and humidity so the paint cures right. We use proven primers and topcoats, follow lead safe methods in homes built before 1978, and avoid the mistakes that cause early failure such as painting over chalk, skipping primer, or rushing dry times.
You get finishes that look right and last because we match products to the surface and the space, then apply them the correct way and let them cure. You also get clear pricing, on time starts, clean work areas, friendly colour help when you want it, and a solid workmanship promise you can count on, and most exteriors in Otago need repainting every five to ten years so we review your home and give a schedule that makes sense.
Interior painting covers walls, ceilings, trim, cabinets, and stain blocking, and we patch nail pops, sand between coats, prime stains with shellac or oil based primer, spray and back roll large areas, and use low volatile organic compound paint in bedrooms and nurseries so the air stays clean, while the right sheen in kitchens and baths wipes clean and holds up. Exterior painting calls for washing at the right pressure, scraping to sound paint, spot priming bare wood, caulking joints, replacing rotten boards, and coating when temperatures are between about 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit and the surface is dry below about fifteen percent moisture so you avoid peeling and lap marks, and roof painting means safety harness tie offs, rust treatment and metal primer on steel, the right coating for tile or metal, and watching wind and roof temperature to avoid overspray and poor adhesion. Common mistakes are painting over chalk, skipping primer, rushing the dry time, or painting too close to the dew point, and these cause early failure, blotchy colour, and leaks.
Most paint jobs fail from rushing prep, painting over chalk, picking the wrong primer, or painting in direct sun or near the dew point, and that leads to peeling within a season, mildew growth, and wood rot, so we plan the weather window and product match before we open a can.
