Can you paint on a brick house?

Yes, it is possible to paint a brick house. However, it is a bit more complex than painting a traditional wood-framed house. Brick houses are often painted to change the colour or update the look of the exterior. Before painting, the brick surface must be cleaned, and any existing paint or mortar that is peeling must be removed. The brick should be sealed to protect it from moisture, and a special type of paint must be used that can adhere to the porous brick surface. It’s important to use a paint that is specifically designed for brick, and it’s also recommended to use a professional painter, like Nu-Vision, who have experience in painting brick houses. We invite you to get in touch and find out what our painters Perth has to offer.

Is it possible to paint over cracked paint?

Yes, it is possible to paint over cracked paint. However, it’s important to address the underlying cause of the cracking before applying new paint.

First, you will need to clean the surface and remove any loose or peeling paint. Then, fill any cracks or holes with a paintable caulk or spackling compound. Sand the surface smooth to remove any rough edges or bumps. It’s important to prime the surface before applying the new paint, this helps to seal the old paint and promotes adhesion of the new paint. It’s recommended to use a high-quality paint specifically designed for use over cracked surfaces.

It’s also important to note that if the underlying cause of the cracking, such as a structural issue or moisture problems, is not addressed, the new paint may crack or peel again. It’s best to have a professional painter, like Nu-Vision Painting, to assess the surface.

Can you paint when it’s cold and rainy?

Yes, it can be done if it’s necessary to paint in cold and rainy weather. However, it’s important to take precautions to protect the paint and the surfaces. Covering the area with plastic sheeting and using a paint that is formulated to work in lower temperatures. It’s also important to be aware that the drying time of the paint will be longer than usual. A professional painter Perth, like Nu-Vision, will have experience in working with these conditions.

How much does it cost to paint a house?

This depends on the size of your space, the availability of the paints, what type of paint you want to use and the time of year. Due to several years experience, we know how to efficiently complete the painting of your house, and can therefore ensure both quality and speed. The best way to find out is by getting in touch with our painters in Perth, we can then send through a quote, personalised to you.

How many coats does it take to paint a house?

The number of coats required to paint a house will depend on a number of factors, including the type of paint being used, the condition of the surface, and the desired finish.

For new construction, typically three coats are applied, a primer coat and two finish coats. The primer helps to seal and prepare the surface for the finish coat, and the finish coat provides the final colour and sheen.

For repainting a previously painted surface, it may only require one coat of paint if the existing paint is still in good condition and has been well-maintained. However, if the existing paint is in poor condition, peeling or chalking, or if you want to change the colour, it may require two coats to achieve a smooth and even finish. It’s also worth noting that for darker colours, more coats may be necessary to achieve full coverage, as darker shades may require more paint to cover the surface.

How long does it take to paint a 3-4-bedroom house?

The amount of time it takes to paint a 3-4 bedroom house will depend on a number of factors, such as the size of the house, the condition of the walls, the number of coats required, and the number of painters working on the job.

Generally speaking, it can take anywhere from several days to a couple of weeks to paint a 3-4 bedroom house. However, you can expect that it should take 5-7 days, assuming that the walls are in good condition, for the project to be completed. However, if the walls are in poor condition and need extensive preparation, or if multiple coats are required, the time frame can be longer.

Do you need to wash the walls before painting?

As part of our process, we definitely recommend giving your walls a good scrub before breaking out the paint brushes. This helps to remove any dirt, grime, or stains that may have accumulated over time, and ensures that your paint job will have a smooth and even finish. Plus, it’s always a good idea to start with a clean slate. If your home is newly built, then we may be able to skip this step.
