Wallpapering

Wallpapering.

Wallpapering is one of those jobs that looks straightforward until it isn't. Getting it right comes down to preparation, precision, and knowing which papers work in which environments. Our team handles everything from surface preparation and pattern matching to seam placement and finishing. Whether it's a feature wall or a full room, we take the time to do it properly. The result should look like it was always meant to be there.

  • Surface preparation and pattern matching
  • Seam placement and finishing
  • Feature walls or full rooms

A note from the managing director

A house repaint is the longest-lived design decision most owners make. Fifteen years before it's revisited. We treat it accordingly.

Common questions

Questions, answered.

How much does it cost to repaint a house?

Ranges are wide, because houses are. Prep depth, colour, ceiling height, access, and the state of the existing coat all move the number. Rather than quote a figure that does not fit your home, we walk the house first and price it properly in writing after the walk-through.

How long does a typical exterior repaint take?

Two to four weeks for a single-storey weatherboard home, weather permitting. Larger houses or full-prep jobs run longer. You get a written schedule before we start.

When is the right time of year to paint an exterior?

Spring and autumn are most predictable. Summer is fine, though hot surfaces can flash off coats too quickly. Winter is workable in many regions on dry weeks, and harder in alpine areas like Queenstown, where the exterior window is roughly three to four months.

Do I need to move out during a repaint?

For an exterior, no. For an interior, we usually work room by room and ask you to keep a couple of rooms clear at a time. For full interior repaints with families in occupancy, we write a room-by-room schedule that protects bedrooms and kitchens.

How often should I repaint my house?

Every ten to fifteen years for both interiors and exteriors in most NZ conditions, sooner for high-traffic interior areas and for homes on coastal exposure. The system we specify is built for that horizon.

What is the EQC repair process for paint and plaster?

Your insurer issues a scope. We read it, walk the site, and confirm the work against the scope. We then run the project against that scope, document daily, and sign off with the loss adjuster. You see the same paperwork the insurer sees.

Do you paint in winter?

Interior, yes, year-round. Exterior, weather permitting. We will tell you if a forecast does not suit a coat, and we will not push a coat through a dew point that risks it.

Let's talk about your home.

Tell us the house, the rooms, and the rough timeframe, and we'll arrange a walk-through and a written quote that sets out the work.
