Weatherboard, fibro and timber exteriors in Stepney

Older weatherboard and fibro homes in Stepney take patient preparation. Weatherboards are scraped back to a firm edge, sanded so old edges do not show through, and primed on bare timber before two coats of flexible acrylic are brushed into every lap. Rotten boards, sills and fascias are cut out and replaced. Homes built before 1970 are likely to have lead paint in the old layers, so sound paint is left in place and overcoated, and any removal is done wet, with containment, never dry sanded or burnt off.

Fibro sheeting on pre-1990 homes is never sanded or water blasted. SA Painting Professionals cleans it gently by hand and paints it while intact, which is both safe and effective. Light colours are recommended on weatherboard and steel because dark colours run much hotter in the South Australian sun and shorten the life of the paint and the timber underneath it. Timber windows and fretwork are finished in exterior enamel over a proper primer.

Local knowledge

Painting homes and businesses in Stepney

Clear paperwork saves everyone time. Every quote SA Painting Professionals issues for Stepney lists the surfaces, preparation, products and number of coats, so the property manager, the owner and the committee all see the same scope. The invoice mirrors the quote line for line, variations are agreed in writing before they happen, and licence and insurance details are attached without being asked.

Norwood, Kent Town, St Peters and Kensington hold rows of 1870s to 1910s bluestone and sandstone villas, terraces and cottages, with rendered dressings, slate or corrugated iron roofs and timber or iron verandahs. Between the wars, Toorak Gardens, Tusmore, Glenunga and Myrtle Bank filled with brick bungalows and Tudor-style homes. The post-war years brought red and cream brick to Payneham, Glynde, Firle and Campbelltown, followed by 1960s and 70s brick veneer in Rostrevor and Athelstone. The foothills at Stonyfell, Auldana, Skye and Mount Osmond are 1970s to 1990s split-level homes in render, brick and timber on steep blocks with big decks. Recent years have added townhouses and apartments in Kent Town and Norwood, and infill on subdivided blocks through Campbelltown and Magill.

Roof restoration on older Stepney homes

Terracotta, cement and corrugated metal roofs on older homes in Stepney take the full force of the sun and the wind. SA Painting Professionals pressure cleans off moss, lichen and chalk, replaces broken pieces and rebeds ridge capping where needed, treats rust on metal, then applies a primer and two coats of flexible roof membrane. A lighter, heat-reflective colour lowers the temperature of the rooms below in summer. Gutters, fascias and valleys are done at the same time so the whole roofline is sound.

Quoting regional work in Stepney from photos

For customers outside metro Adelaide, SA Painting Professionals quotes from photos and a description first so nobody waits on a site visit. Send a picture of each elevation or room, close-ups of any damage, rough dimensions and the age of the house if you know it. We reply with a written, itemised quote covering preparation, products, labour and travel, then confirm the scope on arrival. Stepney is 5 to 20 minutes east of the CBD, and where travel is involved we group nearby jobs into one trip so the crew stays until the work is finished.

Things we consider in Adelaide's Eastern Suburbs

  • Stone villas and lime mortar

    The bluestone and sandstone villas of Norwood, St Peters and Kensington were built with lime mortar so the walls can dry out through the joints. We do not paint the stone, and we steer owners away from sealers and membranes on it. The painted elements are the rendered quoins, bands and chimneys, the timber fascias, posts and fretwork, the window joinery and any cast iron. Render is patched with a compatible mix, primed and coated with a breathable acrylic, with preparation in line with AS/NZS 2311:2017.

  • Lead paint in pre-1970 homes

    Almost every house in the east built before 1970 has lead paint under the surface, whether a Norwood terrace or a Toorak Gardens bungalow, and the earliest coats can be very high in lead. Our approach follows AS/NZS 4361.2:2017. Where the old paint is sound it stays put and gets overcoated. Where it is flaking we wet sand or chemically strip with drop sheets and containment, never dry sanding or using a flame. Skirtings, sashes and doors inside older homes get the same care.

Painting questions from Stepney

Whether it is a stone villa, a weatherboard cottage or a farmhouse that has not been painted in a long while, SA Painting Professionals would like to see it. Ask for a free quote for your Stepney property today.

Will you really travel to Stepney?
We will. SA Painting Professionals is based in Adelaide and services every part of South Australia, and Stepney is 5 to 20 minutes east of the CBD. For regional work we quote from photos first, then group jobs in the same district so travel is shared between customers and the crew can stay until the work is finished. Travel is shown as a line on the written quote rather than hidden in the price.
I am selling my Stepney home. What should I paint first?
Start with what buyers see first: the front elevation, the entry, the living areas and the kitchen. A light, current neutral on the walls, clean white ceilings and freshly painted trims make a home photograph well and feel cared for. We work to your agent's timeline and can quote a targeted refresh or a full repaint, whichever suits the budget and the sale date.
Do you paint older rental properties and holiday houses in Stepney?
Yes. Landlords and owners of holiday houses in Stepney often cannot be on site, so we quote from photos, arrange keys with a property manager or neighbour, photograph the work as it progresses and again at completion, and send an itemised invoice that matches the quote. Regional rentals are grouped with other work in the district so the job is finished in a single visit.
Why does the render on our Campbelltown house keep cracking after it is painted?
Because the wall is moving and the paint film is not. Much of the eastern plains sits on reactive clay that swells and shrinks through the year, so cracks reopen every summer if they are simply filled and overcoated with a rigid paint. The fix is to rake the crack out, fill it with a flexible filler, and coat the wall with an elastomeric membrane that stretches with the movement. It takes more product than a standard repaint, but it stops the yearly touch-up cycle.
Do you supply the paint or can I choose my own colours?
We supply trade-quality paint from the major Australian brands and help you choose colours, or we can work to a colour scheme you have already picked. Either way the products are itemised on your quote.
Do you service Stepney?
Yes. SA Painting Professionals is Adelaide based and services Stepney (SA 5069) along with every suburb and town in Adelaide's Eastern Suburbs. Quotes are free whether we measure up on site or work from your photos.
How do I get a painting quote in Stepney?
