How can I maintain my exterior paint work?

Your paint job will require regular maintenance due to our wet winters and dry hot summers. This means your timber will expand and contract significantly each year.
On a regular basis you should walk around the exterior of your home looking for dryrot, water penetration, cracks, and chalking. About once a year it is a good idea to carefully wash your home to remove the accumulation of surface dirt.
If you see any signs of cracking, (usually on the western/north face), call us to remediate these. This small amount of maintenance will make your paint job last significantly longer.
