Straight answers.

How much does house painting cost in Cape Town?+

Most Cape Town interior repaints run R18,000–R45,000, exterior repaints R25,000–R85,000. A 3-bedroom interior is typically R25,000–R40,000. You get a free fixed-price quote after a site visit — no obligation.

How long does residential painting take?+

5–14 days for most homes. Prep accounts for about 40% of that time. We protect your furniture and work clean so you can stay in the house throughout.

Do you prepare walls before painting?+

Yes. We sand, fill cracks wider than 0.3mm, prime stains, and waterproof where needed before any topcoat. Paint without prep fails inside two years.

What paint brands do you use?+

Plascon, Dulux and Fired Earth. We specify the paint based on the surface and the exposure — not on supplier deals.

Do you offer waterproofing services?+

Yes. Roofs, parapets, balconies, basements and damp interior walls. We diagnose the source of the leak first, then specify the right membrane or coating. 5-year product warranty.

Do you paint in winter in Cape Town?+

Yes — interior work runs year-round. Exterior work pauses only during active rain or when surface moisture exceeds spec. We monitor forecasts and schedule around weather windows.

How long does exterior paint last in Cape Town?+

A correctly prepped and specified exterior paint job lasts 7–10 years inland, 5–7 years on the Atlantic Seaboard due to salt and UV exposure. Two-year workmanship warranty included.

Which areas of Cape Town do you cover?+

We serve the whole of Cape Town — Atlantic Seaboard, City Bowl, Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Constantia Valley, Hout Bay and the South Peninsula.
