The houses in Tarro
Past repairs can leave replacement weatherboards or sheets beside the original cladding, even if they are currently painted the same colour. Tell us which sections were replaced and why, so cleaning, priming and any remaining repairs can be considered for each material.
Our Tarro painters can discuss stairs, support posts and exposed timber beneath the house separately from the exterior walls. Name the particular parts you want painted and show any stored items, low overhead beams or uneven ground that could make them difficult to reach.

What we look at first in Tarro
Check repaired areas and lower timber for continuing signs of moisture. The reason behind earlier damage needs attention before fresh paint is used to blend replacement material with the original building.
Wet timber
Timber that remains damp or soft needs assessment before coating. Describe leaks, watermarks and any repairs already completed, because a new finish cannot restore decayed wood or establish that a previous moisture problem has been resolved.
Patched sheeting
New and old sheeting may need different preparation, and older material may require identification before choosing safe cleaning and paint preparation methods. Provide any records from past repairs, particularly where cement sheeting is involved, instead of assuming every patched section can be sanded together.
Rural surrounds
Where dirt accumulates, the material and type of residue should guide cleaning. Show surfaces close to the ground and any activity that repeatedly deposits dust, so contamination is considered without assuming its source from surrounding land uses.
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 Tarro
Can you paint a house that sits up on piers?
Tell us the height of the walls above the surrounding ground and show the paths beside them. If you also want support posts, stairs or visible timber below the floor painted, name those parts separately so the proposed work is clear.
Our house had flood repairs. Can it be painted to match?
Repairs need to be sound, dry and prepared for their material before a consistent finish is considered. An even colour may be possible, but texture differences or uneven old surfaces can remain visible and should be discussed before expectations are settled.
Should we paint the support posts or exposed timber beneath our house?
That depends on the material and its condition. Ask our painters in Tarro about the support posts or exposed timber beneath the floor that you have in mind, with photos showing rust, damp or peeling paint, so we can discuss which parts are suitable for painting.
