Painters in Sellicks Hill

If you own a bluestone, sandstone or limestone home in Sellicks Hill, painting it is more about restraint than colour. SA Painting Professionals keeps stone unpainted where it should be, repaints the rendered quoins, timber verandahs, fretwork and joinery that were always meant to be painted, and uses breathable systems on old lime-mortared walls so moisture escapes rather than lifting the finish. Quotes are free and written.

Exterior House Painting in Adelaide's Southern Suburbs

Choosing exterior colours for a Sellicks Hill home

Colour on an exterior in Sellicks Hill has to suit the house, the street and the climate. Light and mid-tone colours reflect heat, hold their colour longer and keep weatherboard, steel and cladding cooler in summer. Dark colours look sharp but absorb heat, fade faster and are best kept to trims, doors and shaded elevations, or applied in a heat-reflective formulation. SA Painting Professionals helps you build a scheme of wall, trim, gutter and door colours, and can apply sample patches on a sun-facing and a shaded wall so you see the colours in real light before committing.

Local knowledge

Painting homes and businesses in Sellicks Hill

Because SA Painting Professionals is based in Adelaide and Sellicks Hill is 25 to 50 minutes south of the CBD, we can be on site for a quote, back for the job and available afterwards if a touch-up is ever needed. You deal with the same people from the first walk-through to the final inspection, and we stand behind our workmanship on every home we paint across Adelaide Southern Suburbs & McLaren Vale.

The oldest homes are the 1850s to 1900s stone cottages and villas of Willunga, Old Noarlunga, Old Reynella and McLaren Vale, built in local stone with lime mortar and, around Willunga, roofed in slate from the town's own quarries. Christies Beach, Christie Downs, Hackham and Morphett Vale grew fast in the 1960s and 1970s with Housing Trust homes, brick veneer and fibro. Happy Valley, Aberfoyle Park, Flagstaff Hill, Woodcroft and Hallett Cove were the 1980s and 1990s brick veneer estates, with cement roofs and timber fascias now due for attention. Seaford Rise, Seaford Meadows, Moana and Aldinga Beach are the newer estates in render, Hebel, Weathertex and Colorbond. Along the coast at Port Willunga, Maslin Beach and Sellicks Beach, older holiday shacks sit beside rebuilt beach houses.

Roofs, gutters and car parks on Sellicks Hill commercial buildings

Metal roofs, gutters, fascias and car parks are the parts of a Sellicks Hill building most owners forget until they fail. SA Painting Professionals pressure cleans and treats rust on Colorbond and galvanised roofs, primes and recoats them, and applies heat-reflective finishes that lower roof temperature in summer. Gutters and downpipes are done at the same time. In car parks, bays, arrows and disabled spaces are line marked with durable coatings, and painted floors and ramps are finished with slip-resistant products assessed under AS 4586.

Choosing colours for a Sellicks Hill home

Colour is the part most homeowners worry about, and it is the part we can help with most. SA Painting Professionals looks at your floors, benchtops, window frames and the light each room gets, then narrows the choice to a few sample pots rather than a fan deck of hundreds. Test patches go on the actual walls, morning and afternoon, before anything is decided. Outside, we steer Sellicks Hill homeowners towards lighter tones on sun-facing walls, roofs and weatherboard, because dark colours run hot and fade sooner.

About Sellicks Hill

Sellicks Hill (postcode 5174) is part of the Adelaide Southern Suburbs & McLaren Vale region, 25 to 50 minutes south of the CBD. SA Painting Professionals is Adelaide based and services Sellicks Hill along with nearby Sellicks Beach, Aldinga, Aldinga Beach.

Things we consider in Adelaide's Southern Suburbs

  • Stone cottages and lead paint

    Willunga, Old Noarlunga, Old Reynella and McLaren Vale keep 1850s to 1900s stone cottages and shopfronts built with soft local stone and lime mortar that must breathe. We never paint bare stone, and stone rendered or painted long ago gets a breathable coating rather than a sealed acrylic that traps damp. Any home built before 1970, including the older streets of Christies Beach and Hackham, is assumed to have lead paint under later coats and is prepared under AS/NZS 4361.2:2017: wet sanding, containment, no dry sanding or burning off.

  • Heat, UV and dark colours

    The south gets hot, dry summers, and the newer estates at Seaford Heights, Seaford Rise and Aldinga Beach have little tree cover, so north and west facing walls cop full UV. Heat and UV break down binders and pigments, so every exterior system we use is a UV-resistant 100% acrylic. Dark colours on Colorbond, weatherboard and roofs run much hotter than light ones and fade sooner; we say so before a colour is locked in. Heat-reflective roof coatings suit the 1980s cement roofs in Woodcroft and Happy Valley.

FAQ

Painting questions from Sellicks Hill

Distance is not a reason to put off painting. Contact SA Painting Professionals about your Sellicks Hill home and we will plan the job so the crew arrives ready and finishes in one visit.

Who cleans up at the end of the job?
We do, every day and again at handover. Drop sheets and masking come up, floors are vacuumed or swept, furniture goes back where it was and paint tins, rags and rubbish leave with us. Outside, paving and gardens are uncovered and hosed down where needed. Before we leave your Sellicks Hill home we walk through with you and touch up anything you spot.
Do you travel to Sellicks Hill for painting jobs?
Yes. SA Painting Professionals is based in Adelaide and services all of South Australia. Sellicks Hill is 25 to 50 minutes south of the CBD, and we cover it as part of our normal service area. We quote on site across metro Adelaide and travel further afield for both small and large jobs. Any travel for regional work is discussed up front and shown on the written quote rather than added later.
Do we need to move out while an old house is repainted?
Rarely. Most Sellicks Hill customers stay in the house. Interiors are done room by room with low-odour water-based paints, furniture is moved and covered, and exteriors do not affect daily life much beyond ladders and drop sheets. The exception is lead paint removal: where old paint has to be stripped inside, that area is sealed off until it is cleaned, and we tell you in advance which rooms are affected and for how long.
Do you cover the whole of the south, including McLaren Vale and the beaches?
We cover all 53 suburbs and localities in Adelaide's Southern Suburbs and McLaren Vale. That runs from Hallett Cove, Trott Park and Happy Valley at the northern end, through Morphett Vale, Reynella and Noarlunga Centre, down the coast through Seaford, Moana and Aldinga Beach to Sellicks Beach, and inland to McLaren Vale, Willunga and the rural blocks around Kuitpo Colony and Yundi. Because all of it is metro Adelaide, every job is quoted on site.
