About Us
Peeling paint, sun fade, and a tired roof make a good home look worn and can let moisture sneak in. At Dunedin House Painters, we fix the root causes with strong prep, the right coatings, and smart timing as your interior house painter, exterior house painter, and roof painter in Dunedin.
Our crew has years of hands-on work across Dunedin on stucco, timber, brick, and metal, and we follow a prep-first method that makes the paint last. We are licensed and insured, lead safe for pre 1978 homes, and we keep a tidy site with daily checks on moisture, adhesion, and coverage.
Many paint jobs fail early because of rushed washing, wrong primer, painting over damp wood, or spraying without back rolling, which leads to peeling, blistering, and mildew. We avoid those traps with tested methods, clear pricing in writing, daily updates, careful jobsite protection, and start and finish times that we stick to.
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.
Our roof painter work focuses on safe access, rust treatment, and reflective or waterproof roof coatings for metal or tile roofs to cut heat and extend roof life. We never paint over mildew, skip primer on glossy or chalky surfaces, or paint in direct midday sun because those shortcuts cause flashing, blistering, and early failure.
