Learn moreRepaints & Restoration
Landlords with a tired rental in Hawthorndene often want the whole property repainted between tenants. We prepare the surfaces properly rather than just refreshing the colour, so the finish stands up to the next lease and the one after it, and we work to a fixed date around the vacancy.
Learn moreRoof Painting & Restoration
The sun in Adelaide's Inner Southern Suburbs is hard on roofs, and the north and west faces of a Hawthorndene roof fade first. We use UV-resistant 100% acrylic membranes, heat-reflective where you want them, over a sealer or primer chosen for concrete tiled roofs, galvanised iron, Zincalume or Colorbond, so the finish holds up across Adelaide Inner South.
Learn moreFence, Deck & Timber Staining
Whether it is a merbau deck, a paling fence or a rusting steel gate, we give Hawthorndene homeowners a free, itemised quote that spells out the cleaning, repairs, primer and coats. Across Adelaide Inner South we match oil, stain or paint to the timber, the sun it gets and how much upkeep you want.
Learn moreWallpaper & Feature Walls
Whether the wall is in a stone villa or a new build in Hawthorndene, we check the surface first, because grasscloth, murals and dark paint each show a different flaw. SA Painting Professionals gives homeowners across Adelaide Inner South a free, itemised quote listing removal, preparation, quantities and the hanging or painting.

Exterior House Painting in Adelaide's Inner Southern Suburbs
Preparing and scheduling an exterior repaint in Hawthorndene
Preparation, not the topcoat, decides how long an exterior repaint in Hawthorndene lasts. SA Painting Professionals washes the whole house, lets it dry, then scrapes, sands, fills, caulks and primes. Gardens are covered, paving and windows are masked, and air-conditioning units and light fittings are protected. Ladders, planks or a mobile scaffold are set up so two-storey walls and gable ends are reached safely without anyone leaning off a roof.
We book exterior work with the weather in mind and build a margin into the program. Rain, extreme heat and strong wind all stop painting for the day, and we would rather lose a day than put a coat on a wall that will not cure. You get a written quote listing every surface, the products and the sequence, and we keep you informed by message as the job progresses.
Local knowledge
Painting homes and businesses in Hawthorndene
Lead paint is a fact of life in older Hawthorndene homes. Anything painted before 1970 is likely to contain lead, and paint from before 1965 can carry a great deal of it. SA Painting Professionals follows AS/NZS 4361.2: leave sound paint undisturbed and overcoat it, and where removal is unavoidable, wet sand or chemically strip with containment and careful clean-up, never dry sanding or burning off in a family home.
The inner south has some of Adelaide's most intact period streets. Unley, Hyde Park, Malvern and Goodwood hold 1880s to 1910s bluestone and sandstone villas and return-verandah cottages. Colonel Light Gardens is a planned 1920s garden suburb of bungalows and a State Heritage Area, with similar bungalows through Westbourne Park and Kingswood. Edwardstown, Daw Park and Mitchell Park were built up after the war in red and cream brick, and Oaklands Park and Warradale followed with 1960s and 70s brick veneer. The hills face at Belair and Eden Hills mixes older timber and brick homes with split-level 1970s and 80s houses on steep blocks, while Craigburn Farm is 1990s to 2000s render. Along the coast, Glenelg and Brighton have swapped many beach shacks for apartments and two-storey rendered homes.
Managing lead paint in pre-1970 Hawthorndene homes
Any Hawthorndene home built before 1970 is treated as likely to contain lead-based paint until proven otherwise. The safe approach under AS/NZS 4361.2 is to leave sound paint in place and overcoat it, so SA Painting Professionals only removes what is failing. Where removal is needed, the area is contained, paint is wet sanded or chemically stripped rather than dry sanded or burnt off, and dust and debris are collected and disposed of carefully. Children's rooms, kitchens and gardens get particular attention. The method is written into your quote.
Fitting the job around a busy Hawthorndene household
Painting does not have to take over your week. Before we start, SA Painting Professionals agrees a start time, which rooms are done on which days and where the ladders and gear will live overnight. Interiors can often be sequenced so bedrooms are done while the family is at work and school, and exteriors so the driveway stays usable. We pack up properly each afternoon, and if you would rather the crew was not there on a particular day, say so and we will plan around it.
About Hawthorndene

Things we consider in Adelaide's Inner Southern Suburbs
- Clay soils and cracking render
The plains suburbs from Unley across to Marion and Morphettville sit on reactive clay. It swells in winter and shrinks in summer, and rendered and masonry walls crack at the movement points: corners, lintels, parapets and the join between a 1920s bungalow and its 1990s extension. We rake and fill cracks with flexible fillers and coat cracked render with an elastomeric membrane so the finish moves with the wall instead of splitting again the next summer.
- Heritage villas and lead paint
The villas and bungalows of Unley, Hyde Park and Colonel Light Gardens were painted with lead-based paint, and it is still there under the later coats on timber verandahs, windows, doors and fretwork. We follow AS/NZS 4361.2:2017: sound paint is left alone and overcoated, failing paint is wet sanded or stripped under containment, and there is no dry sanding or burning off. Stonework stays unpainted. In Colonel Light Gardens an exterior scheme may need council approval because the suburb is a State Heritage Area, so check first.
