The houses in Adamstown
A repaint can involve several materials on the same house, especially where an extension meets the original building. Weatherboards, coated masonry and window frames need to be considered individually, even when they will share a colour.
When comparing painters in Adamstown, look for a description of the work that explains cleaning and repairs as well as painting. Tell us about recurring cracks, patches that have peeled before and any repairs planned before painting, rather than relying on photos of the front alone.

What we look at first in Adamstown
The condition of the timber or brick beneath the existing paint matters as much as the colour on top. These are useful details to point out when we discuss your exterior.
Road and rail grime
Grime on walls or eaves needs cleaning before the surface can be assessed properly. If dirt builds up quickly at your property, show us where it collects so the preparation can account for it without guessing its source.
Weatherboard that moves
Timber can expand and contract as moisture levels change. Open joints and cracking paint need assessment together, because covering a gap with another coat will not explain why it keeps opening or whether the board needs repair.
Painted brick
Existing paint on brick should be checked for loose areas, powdery residue and signs of moisture. Fresh paint needs the brick and remaining old paint to hold firmly, so an attractive colour cannot compensate for paint that is already lifting.
Paint containing lead was used in many Australian houses before 1970. Where it is present, the federal government's Lead Alert guide sets out how to prepare it, with wet scraping and wet sanding in place of dry sanding.

Questions people ask painters in Adamstown
Is it worth painting face brick that has never been painted?
Painting changes the appearance and creates a surface that will need ongoing maintenance. If you like the brick but want a fresher exterior, consider cleaning it and updating the surrounding trims before committing to a coating that is difficult to remove.
Our weatherboards keep cracking at the joins. Why?
Movement, moisture and unsuitable previous repairs can all contribute. Let Hunter Painting Co see the affected joints before selecting a repair method; the aim is to understand the failure rather than add more material over it.
Can you do the gutters and fascias as well?
Include gutters and the fascia boards behind them in your enquiry to our Adamstown painters, with photos showing their height and condition. This makes it easier to discuss those items alongside the walls and decide which walls, gutters and boards you want included.
