Investment

Exterior Painting pricing and time

The cost and time of this project depends on a number of factors, including:

  • The size and shape of your home
  • Number of storeys
  • Type of exterior surface - weatherboard, plaster or brick
  • Condition of existing paintwork
  • Amount of preparation required
  • Access and scaffolding requirements
  • Type of paint and coating system
  • Weather and time of year

Because every home is different, we don't believe in giving you an unrealistic one-size-fits-all price and schedule.

Instead, we assess your project and provide a quote based on the actual work required.

Client Reviews

What Wellington clients say

★★★★★

The exterior of our villa in Kelburn looks brand new. On time, tidy, and the quote didn't change once.

Sarah M.Kelburn, Wellington
★★★★★

Our weatherboard exterior was faded and chalky. The team stripped it back properly and the new sage green finish looks incredible.

David L.Miramar, Wellington
★★★★★

Full exterior repaint on our plaster townhouse. Scaffolding, wash, prep - all handled without a single hiccup.

Priya R.Wellington Central
★★★★★

Weatherboard villa exterior repainted from top to bottom. The prep work really showed in how even the finish came out.

James T.Karori, Wellington
★★★★★

Charcoal exterior with white trims - exactly the modern look we wanted. Neighbours keep asking who did it.

Anna K.Newtown, Wellington
★★★★★

Steep site, tricky access - every other painter we called turned it down for the exterior repaint. Right Choice didn't blink and the result speaks for itself.

FAQs

Common questions

Do you offer free exterior painting quotes?

Yes. We offer a free consultation and personalised quote so you can understand the expected cost, scope and timeframe before work begins.

What happens if it rains during the project?

We closely monitor Wellington's unpredictable weather. We do not apply paint in wet or high-humidity conditions. If rain hits unexpectedly, we secure the site and resume once surfaces are completely dry.

Do I need to be home while you paint the exterior?

No. As long as we have access to power, water, and the perimeter of your property, you can carry on with your daily routine. We keep your property secure at all times.

How do you prepare exterior surfaces before painting?

We soft-wash or water-blast the exterior, scrape off peeling paint, repair damaged timber or plaster, sand rough surfaces, and apply an appropriate primer to ensure maximum paint adhesion.

Do you replace rotted wood or damaged cladding before painting?

Yes. We perform minor timber repairs, fill cracks, and re-putty window frames. For extensive timber rot, we can advise on repairs before painting begins.

Do you protect windows, doors, plants and surrounding areas?

Yes. We use heavy-duty drop sheets, plastic sheeting, and painter's tape to cover gardens, pathways, glass windows, and outdoor furniture before starting any work.

Do you paint high or difficult-to-reach areas?

Yes. Our team is fully trained and certified in height safety, utilising scaffolding, mobile towers, or cherry pickers for multi-storey or steep Wellington sites.

What paint brands do you use for exterior surfaces?

We use premium, Wellington-proven paint brands like Resene and Dulux, specifically formulated to resist fading, chalking, blistering, and coastal salt spray.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Right Choice Decorators holds full public liability insurance, giving you complete peace of mind while we work on your property.

Do you clean up every day and after the job?

Yes. We keep the work area organised and carry out a basic clean-up at the end of each working day. Once the project is completed, we remove painting materials and rubbish and leave the work area as clean and tidy as practical.

Limited-Time Offer

Don't Delay!

Peeling paint isn't just a cosmetic issue. Left untreated, wind and rain soak straight into the timber, and repair costs can multiply many times over.
