Painter in Wye River, from quote to clean.

Why painting Wye River homes is different

Wye River is a tight community with a unique housing mix — original cabins, rebuilt homes after the 2015 fires, and weekender properties tucked into the hills above the ocean. Painting here means understanding both the new builds and the older stock that needs careful prep.

Common jobs I get called for:

• New-build exteriors — getting the post-construction coat right so it lasts in coastal weather.
• Holiday-home maintenance — keeping rental properties presentation-ready year-round.
• Timber decks and balustrades — coast exposure plus elevation means timber works hard down here.

What I do

• Full exterior repaints — weatherboard, render, fibro, eaves, soffits, gutters.
• Interior repaints — walls, ceilings, trims, doors, cabinetry refinishing.
• Timber restoration — decks, balustrades, pergolas, exposed beams, fences.
• Holiday-home turnaround — interior refresh between seasons, fast and clean.
• Bathroom and kitchen renovations — if a repaint reveals bigger problems, I can handle the whole job (tiling, carpentry, plastering) instead of handing you off to three more tradies.
• Handyman work — the smaller jobs no one wants to drive out for.
