How much does it cost to paint a house?
The cost depends on the size of the house, the condition of the surfaces, how much preparation is needed (washing, scraping, sanding, filling), the number of coats and how hard the home is to access. Exteriors with peeling paint or multiple storeys cost more than simple interior repaints. Rix Painting Services gives free on-site quotes so you get a real figure, not a guess.

How often should I repaint the outside of my house?
Most exteriors need repainting roughly every 8 to 10 years, depending on the quality of the previous paint job, sun exposure and how close you are to the coast. Signs it’s time include peeling, cracking, fading, chalky residue and mould. Rix Painting Services has more than 25 years of experience assessing exteriors and can tell you whether it’s time.

How long does it take to paint a house?
A single room can take a day or less, a full interior usually takes several days, and an exterior takes longer because of preparation and weather. Rix Painting Services gives you a clear timeframe with every quote. Ask us at https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.rixpainting.net/&source=gmail&ust=1793670547333000&sa=E
What is the best time of year to paint a house exterior in Auckland?
Summer and early autumn usually give the driest and most stable conditions. Paint needs a dry surface and mild temperatures to bond and cure properly, so Rix Painting Services plans exterior work around the forecast.

Is it worth painting my roof?
In many cases, yes. Roof painting lifts the look of your home and adds a protective coating against Auckland’s sun, rain and moss. The roof must be cleaned and repaired properly first, so preparation matters. Rix Painting Services provides residential roof painting.

Do I need to move my furniture before painters arrive?

Do painters do the preparation, or do I?
A professional painter handles the prep: washing, scraping, sanding, filling cracks, priming and masking. Rix Painting Services does all of it, because good preparation is the biggest factor in how long paint lasts.

How many coats of paint do I need?

Could my older house have lead paint?
