About Us
Peeling trim, faded siding, and roof stains make your place look tired and they can lead to wood rot or leaks. We fix that with careful prep, the right primers, and durable finishes as your interior house painter, exterior house painter, and roof painter at Canterbury House Painters in Christchurch, and we never paint damp wood or skip primer because that is what makes paint fail early.
Our team brings strong skill from hundreds of local projects and we stick to the steps that make paint last, including washing, scraping, sanding, repairing, caulking, priming, and careful application, and we follow lead safe methods for homes built before 1978. Skipping any of that leads to early peeling, blistering, mildew returning through fresh colour, and seams that leak, so we slow down at prep and then move fast when it is time to coat.
You get a clear written quote, steady updates, and a schedule we keep, plus smart colour help and the right products for your goals and budget. We show up on time, protect your home like it’s ours, and do a final walk through with you so you feel confident before we pack up.
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.
