We recently had our house painted inside and outside by Davis House Painters and couldn't be happier with the result. From the quote right through to the final walkthrough the team were all professional, friendly and easy to deal with. The prep work was thorough and completed extremely well and the finish is immaculate, evident the whole team took pride in their work. They kept us informed throughout, and gave us good advice on other areas like painting the roof and replacement of eaves. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for painters who know their stuff, deliver a high quality result and give straight advice.

Davis Painters, Paul, Ash and Felipe recently completed our exterior house painting. They did an excellent job and were reliable and professional. They also detected problems with our recently installed windows and Paul got the issues rectified by the Company for which we are very grateful. Highly Recommended

We recently engaged Paul and his team to paint the exterior of our home. His painters Ash and Phil carried out the job with skill and dedication. They were a pleasure to have at our home. Thanks also to the scaffold team for a job well done. Our house now looks as good as the day it was built, maybe even better, thanks to Davis Painters. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for painting work of the highest standard.

Paul and his team did work on our renovation apartment. I found Paul exceptionally easy to communicate with, his team when beyond the normal to make sure everything was done in a professional manner, and workmanship. I would fully recommend this company to anyone. Always arrived on time, accommodating if there was any hold ups with trades, and generally a pleasure to have on site. Well done Paul and Team

FAQs

Answers to the questions Auckland homeowners ask us most about house painting.

Are your painters trade qualified?

Our painters are BCITO qualified and hold NZQA-recognised trade qualifications. We focus on premium results through qualified tradespeople, thorough preparation, proven paint systems and attention to detail.

How do you approach safety and quality?

We are committed to a strong safety culture and safe working practices. Access and protection requirements are considered before work begins, and roof painting is only undertaken with appropriate roof protection systems in place. Our focus is lasting workmanship and a well-managed project, rather than competing solely on price.

How much does it cost to paint a house in Auckland?

Most exterior repaints of a single-level Auckland weatherboard home cost $12,000 to $20,000, and two-storey homes or villas $20,000 to $35,000 or more. A full interior repaint of a 3-bedroom home is typically $8,000 to $15,000. The final price depends on size, condition, how much prep is needed and access. We give a fixed, itemised quote after a free onsite visit.

How long does it take to paint a house exterior in Auckland?

A typical single-level exterior repaint takes 2 to 3 weeks, and a two-storey home or villa 3 to 5 weeks. Most of that time is preparation. Rain and humidity can add days, so we plan the schedule around the weather and keep you updated.

How do Davis Painters prepare and protect my home?

We protect the property, clean and prepare surfaces, address peeling coatings and treat affected areas before repainting. We use suitable Resene paint systems, schedule exterior work around Auckland’s weather and finish with a final walk-through and tidy-up. For pre-1980 homes, we test for lead paint and follow WorkSafe guidance.

When is the best time to paint a house exterior in Auckland?

Late spring to early autumn is usually best, because paint cures properly in drier, warmer conditions. We paint exteriors year-round when the weather allows, and avoid painting when rain is forecast or surfaces are damp.

Do you offer a free colour consultation?

Yes. Every quote includes a free in-person colour consultation at your home. We help you choose colours and finishes that suit your home, your style and the surrounding environment.

What paint do you use?

We use Resene paint systems. Davis Painters is a certified Resene Eco.Decorator, so we use sustainable, waterborne products where suitable and manage waste through the Resene PaintWise programme.

Are Davis Painters insured?

Yes. We carry liability insurance on all our work. If anything falls short of your expectations, we put it right quickly.

Do you offer a guarantee on your work?

Yes. Every job is backed by a workmanship guarantee of at least 3 years, on top of the manufacturer’s warranty on the Resene paint we use.

Can you paint older villas and bungalows?

Yes. Character homes are a big part of our work in suburbs like Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Mt Eden and Remuera. For homes built before 1980 we test for lead paint and follow WorkSafe guidelines for safe removal.

Do you paint kitchen cabinets?

Yes. We remove the cabinet doors and spray them off-site, because a proper spray finish isn’t possible inside a home. The result is a smooth, durable, factory-style finish.

Do you remove wallpaper and do plastering?

Yes. We strip wallpaper and repair and plaster walls and ceilings as part of the prep, so the paint goes onto a smooth, sound surface.

Do you paint roofs, decks and fences?

Yes. Roof painting is only carried out with appropriate roof protection systems in place. We also stain and oil decks and paint fences, louvres, trellises and doors, either with a house repaint or as a separate job.

Can you paint my house before I sell it?

Yes. We do pre-sale touch-ups and full repaints to get a property ready for listing photos and open homes, and can work to tight timeframes.

Which areas of Auckland do you cover?

We paint homes and businesses across central Auckland, including Auckland City, Ponsonby, Herne Bay, Grey Lynn, Blockhouse Bay, Mt Albert, Mt Eden, Remuera, Meadowbank, Mission Bay, St Heliers and Onehunga, plus the North Shore and West Auckland.

Do you paint commercial buildings?

Yes. We paint offices, boutique retail and commercial buildings across Auckland, inside and out, and plan the work to cause as little disruption to your business as possible.
