What is Exterior Painting?

  • Painting the outside walls of your home or building
  • Protects your walls from sun, rain, wind, mold, and salt air
  • Makes your home look better from the street — curb appeal matters
  • Adds to your property value — buyers notice a well-maintained exterior
  • Prevents costly wall repairs by catching problems early
  • Needs to be done every 7-10 years in South Africa's harsh climate

Why Use a Professional?

  • Exterior painting is hard — heights, weather, and prep make it dangerous and difficult for DIY
  • Bad prep = paint that peels within 1-2 years. Professionals power wash, scrape, and prime properly
  • Coastal homes need salt-resistant products — pros know which ones to use
  • South Africa's sun is intense — pros use UV-resistant paints that don't fade quickly
  • Professionals carry insurance — if something breaks or someone gets hurt, you're covered
  • A good exterior paint job lasts 7-10 years; a bad one lasts 2-3 years

SA Climate Challenges

  • Coastal salt air: Eats through cheap paint and causes rust. Need salt-resistant primers
  • Intense UV sun: Fades colors fast. Need UV-protected exterior paint
  • Heavy summer rain: Gets behind loose paint and causes bubbling and peeling
  • Mold and algae: Grows on exterior walls in humid areas. Needs special treatment before painting
  • Temperature swings: Hot days and cool nights crack paint. Need flexible coatings that move with walls
  • Professionals understand which products work in YOUR specific area

What Does It Cost?

  • Small house (200 m² walls): R15,000 - R30,000
  • Medium house (300-400 m² walls): R25,000 - R50,000
  • Large house (500+ m² walls): R40,000 - R80,000
  • Apartment or townhouse: R8,000 - R20,000
  • Scaffolding for double-storey homes adds to the cost
  • Coastal homes may cost more due to specialist primers needed

Why Get 5 Quotes?

  • Exterior quotes can vary by R15,000 - R30,000 for the exact same house
  • One painter might use budget paint (lasts 3 years); another uses premium (lasts 10 years)
  • Some painters rush the prep — this is where most jobs fail
  • 5 quotes lets you spot who really knows what they're doing
  • Safety matters — check if they have insurance for high work like scaffolding
  • You get to choose the best mix of price, quality, and reliability

How to Compare Quotes

  • Does the quote include: power washing, scraping, crack filling, primer, 2+ coats, and trim?
  • Ask for the exact paint brand and product — not just "quality exterior paint"
  • Ask if they'll treat mold or algae before painting — most budget painters skip this
  • For coastal homes: ask if they use salt-resistant primers specifically
  • Ask for proof of public liability insurance — essential for high work
  • Ask for a written workmanship guarantee — good painters offer 1-2 years
