Weatherboard, fibro and timber exteriors in The Range

Older weatherboard and fibro homes in The Range 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 The Range

Stone villas, bungalows and cottages in The Range were built with lime mortar, solid masonry and timber that all need to breathe. A painter who knows South Australian housing eras recognises which walls should stay bare stone, which render is original, and where a modern acrylic will trap moisture and blister. SA Painting Professionals chooses breathable coatings on old masonry and works with the fabric of the house rather than against it.

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.

Commercial painting after hours in The Range

Shops, offices, clinics and cafes in The Range are painted when they are closed. SA Painting Professionals schedules commercial work overnight, on weekends or in stages so trading continues, and uses low-odour, low-VOC water-based paints so the premises can open the next morning without complaints. Stock, fittings and floors are covered, signage and fixtures are masked, and the site is left clean before opening. For larger premises we agree a staged program so only one area is out of action at a time.

Fitting the job around a busy The Range 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 The Range

The Range (postcode 5172) 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 The Range along with nearby Dingabledinga, Hope Forest, Kuitpo Colony.

Things we consider in Adelaide's Southern Suburbs

  • Salt spray along the gulf coast

    From Hallett Cove down to Sellicks Beach, exteriors take salt spray and wind-blown sand off Gulf St Vincent. Salt sits on the paint film and eats bare steel, so gutters, balustrades, screen doors and steel posts at Moana, Port Noarlunga and O'Sullivan Beach are usually the first things to fail. We wash the salt off with fresh water before sanding, treat rust and prime with a corrosion-inhibiting primer, use marine-grade systems on exposed metal, and finish with UV-resistant 100% acrylic topcoats. The seaward wall always weathers first.

  • 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 The Range

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 The Range property today.

What do strata committees in The Range need from a painter before approving a repaint?
A clear written scope, a colour proposal, product information, an indicative program and the contractor's licence and insurance details. SA Painting Professionals supplies all of that with the quote so the committee can circulate it and vote. Once approved, we plan access and give residents proper notice, keep the colour scheme consistent across every unit and common area, and document it for future touch-ups.
Which paints do you use on rental properties?
Durable, washable trade-quality paints from the major Australian brands, in the owner's standard scheme where one exists. A washable low-sheen on walls stands up to tenants and cleans well between leases, a flat on ceilings hides imperfections, and a water-based enamel on doors and trims resists chipping. We record the products and colours on the invoice so the next touch-up in The Range matches.
How quickly can you turn around a vacant rental in The Range?
It depends on the size and condition, but a vacant unit or house is usually the fastest kind of job because there is nothing to work around. Ask your property manager to send the vacate date and photos as early as possible and we will hold dates. We prioritise vacant properties in The Range because every empty day costs the owner rent.
Can you paint the fibro eaves and cladding on our 1970s Morphett Vale house?
Yes, as long as the sheeting is intact. Fibro (asbestos cement) in pre-1990 homes across Morphett Vale, Hackham and Christie Downs can be safely painted, but it must never be sanded, scraped hard or water-blasted. We wash it gently by hand with a mild cleaner, spot-prime any bare or chalky areas, then apply two coats of exterior acrylic. If sheets are cracked, broken or crumbling we stop and recommend a licensed asbestos removalist replaces them before we come back to paint.
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 The Range?
Yes. SA Painting Professionals is Adelaide based and services The Range (SA 5172) along with every suburb and town in Adelaide's Southern Suburbs. Quotes are free whether we measure up on site or work from your photos.
How do I get a painting quote in The Range?
Send the quote form on this page with a few details and, if you can, photos of the areas to be painted. We reply within one business day with a free, written, itemised quote and no obligation.
