Attention to detail and no compromises. Moe did a wonderful job with my living room and kitchen. Nothing was a problem and he is great with dogs. Amazing transformation at a great price. Being a grumpy old teacher I am usually a hard marker but Moes deserves every star.

Types of services provided by painters in Sydney

With an increasing variety of diverse homes and businesses across Greater Sydney, there’s high demand for a range of different painting services. The current boom in renovations all over the region has kept Sydney’s painters busy with large interior and exterior painting jobs as owners seek to enhance the value of their properties at auction. Here’s a quick look at the main types of services painters in Sydney offer.

Interior painting

Interior painting is done by house painters or commercial painters and involves painting the walls, ceilings, and other surfaces inside your home or business. This type of painting can be used to refresh an old room, change the colour scheme, or add a new coat of paint to protect surfaces from wear and tear.

The process typically starts with a thorough cleaning of the surfaces to be painted, followed by any necessary repairs or prep work. Once the surface is ready, the painter will apply the paint according to your specifications. A good painter will take precautions to protect your furniture and belongings from paint splatters and clean up any mess when they’re finished.

Exterior painting

Exterior painting services are an important part of maintaining the appeal and structural integrity of your residential or commercial space. This type of painting involves painting the exterior walls, trim, gutters, fences and other surfaces exposed to the elements. More complex and extensive exterior painting jobs will typically require the use of access equipment like scaffolding, ladders, or cherry pickers so that painters can safely work at heights.

Depending on the surface being worked on, exterior painting may involve an initial pressure wash to remove any dirt, grime, or debris from the surface. Exterior surfaces typically need to be sanded down before painting to create a smooth surface, and any cracks or holes should be filled in with caulking.
 

Decorative painting

Decorative painting is often used to add visual interest or create a certain effect. This can include anything from stencilling and murals to trompe l’oeil and faux finishes. Decorative painting is often used in residential settings to add personality to a room, but it can also be used in commercial settings to create a certain atmosphere and assist in marketing a business. Not every painter will offer this kind of service, and those that do may require you to already have a complete design in mind.

The process of decorative painting will vary based on the specific project, but it typically starts with a base coat of paint being applied to the surface. Once the base coat is dry, the decorative painting technique will be applied. This can be done by hand or with a machine, depending on the complexity of the design. Once the design is complete, a clear coat may be applied to protect it from wear and tear.

Paint stripping

Paint stripping is a process that’s used to remove paint from a surface. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as preparing a surface for repainting, removing lead-based paint, or restoring an old piece of furniture. Paint stripping typically involves the use of chemicals and/or heat to break down the paint so that it can be scraped or wiped away.

Along with special chemicals, professionals will utilise tools like heat guns, scrapers, and sanders to remove the paint. This is a time-consuming process that requires precision and care, so it’s important to hire a professional if you’re considering paint stripping.
