As Your Kensington House Painters, well we live here afterall, we love to work in our suburb.
Kensington is a great suburb with many different houses, especially the weatherboards. We love to paint weatherboard houses. Because they provide us with many different painting rewards. And challenges! We obviously are interior house painters too, and will take pride in painting your home.
Here at Sterling Painters we love painting weatherboard houses. Each one is unique and full or character. Exterior House Painters.
As Kensington House Painters we are always painting weatherboard houses, there are a lot of them here! It’s hard work, but rewarding working. All about the preparation. We find the painting is the easy part!
Interior House Painting, not only painters, but much more. The owner chose the paint colours based upon a recently purchased painting. The room simply had to go with her new acquisition. Well you can always repaint a room, a good piece of art will last a lifetime! That’s what we as Interior House Painters do.
House Painting, takes a little more than just painting the interior of your house. Most importantly it’s your home that’s getting painted. We treat your home like our own homes, why? Because it’s your home and not a building site. We’ll take care of not just the painting, but your belongings.
Yes, we do ask you to remove the delicate and expensive items. We do ask you to get your home ready for the painters. Whilst we can usually help with the bigger furniture items, we are not removalists, because we would like to get on with the painting.
“Chris was great to work with again! Nothing was too much trouble, including repainting the lounge room twice when I changed my mind about the colour. What I’m most impressed with though is the quality of the job that Chris does – his attention to detail is fantastic. I’m a repeat customer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sterling Painters.”
Weatherboard paint, where? This is a good chance to show a before and after shot. A weatherboard rather in need of a little tender love and care, and paint. The pictures really do show you what can be accomplished by Professional Exterior House Painters
This side of the house really takes everything the weather can throw at it. Sun, rain and hail, and as so the emphasis was on protecting the property rather than just making it look good. If you live in a weatherboard house, then you know the savings that come with a professional paint job. Because maintainance cost, heating costs, cooling costs, really add up. Try selling a weatherboard house in such a state. Or worse still. A weatherboard house that’s been given a ‘quick lick of paint’. You’ll find out the costs/savings that come with a professional paint job.
All the boards were primed, where needed, all the nail holes filled, all the gaps underneath the weatherboards were gapped, and the window sills were given multiple coats of paint.
Oh and yes sanding took place between every coat, why? It promotes adhesion. So using a premium quality exterior paint such as Dulux Weathershield, and other premium painters’ products will give this house longevity.
One of the things I like most in life is painting a dull looking house and turning it into a real gem. A brightly painted front door helps.
This house was glossy, dated and a dusty affair, looking 1960s but not in a good way, but your granny would’ve liked it.
Classic and yet Modern, with a red painted door that Little Red Hood would be jealous of let alone the big bad wolf! And yes Granny would have been all eaten up!
Weathershield Low Sheen and Gloss.
Weatherboards – Linseed, Trim – Monument, Windows – Antique White USA, and the door – Happy valentine.
In Feng Shui, a red door symbolises the mouth of the home. By painting our door red (or any bright colour that stands out) chi (positive energy) is drawn to the house. It is the entry point in which abundance and opportunities find us.
The Chinese consider red to be the lucky or sacred colour. Many doors are painted with a fresh coat of red just before Chinese New Year to invite good luck and happiness.
In Ireland, a red door is supposed to ward off ghosts and evil spirits.
In Catholicism, a red door represents that the blood of Christ has been smeared on it and that the area beyond the door is holy and sacred.
Also, according to the Old Testament, the Jewish slaves in Egypt smeared their doors with lambs blood as a sign that the required sacrifice had already been made, and those homes would be passed over by the Angel of Vengence.
Supposedly red doors were used as part of the Underground Railroad, and homes with red doors were “safe houses”.
Albert Einstein painted his door red because he couldn’t recognize his house without it.
And for homeowners, a red door announces that the house is paid for, free and clear.
