If it’s part of your home, we can paint it.
We paint interiors, exteriors, and key additions as one coordinated scope so your home looks more complete, performs better, and gets the benefit of a clearer process from start to finish.
Full Interior & Exterior House Painting
By combining the interior and exterior into one project, you get one colour direction, one coordinated plan, and one team working across the whole house rather than treating each side as a separate repaint.
It is also usually the most cost-effective way to repaint a home properly. Shared mobilisation, overlapping preparation, and coordinated scheduling all help reduce duplication and make the overall project run more efficiently.
Full Exterior House Painting
A complete exterior repaint covers the main outside surfaces of the home, including cladding, walls, fascia, soffits, eaves, window frames, door frames, gutters, downpipes, and other painted exterior elements. It also includes the preparation required to get those surfaces ready, such as water blasting, mould treatment, sanding, repairs, filling, priming, and weather-aware application planning.
For multi-storey homes, we coordinate scaffolding as part of the job so access is handled properly from the start. The result is a cleaner, more durable exterior finish that protects the home and lifts its overall presentation.
Full Interior House Painting
A full interior package covers walls, ceilings, trims, skirting boards, architraves, doors, door frames, and window frames throughout the home. We work room by room where needed so the home stays more liveable during the project, while still keeping the whole repaint moving in an organised way.
This is ideal for homes with tired interiors, outdated colours, surface damage, or recent renovation work that needs to be brought together properly. It is also a strong option for homeowners who want the house to feel fresher without tackling the exterior at the same time.
Targeted Refresh Package
Not every home needs a full repaint all at once. A targeted refresh focuses on the areas that make the biggest visual impact, such as the front entrance, hallway, main living spaces, kitchen, master bedroom, and front exterior elevation.
This works well for pre-sale preparation, tighter budgets, or homeowners who want to improve the most visible or most-used areas first. We can help you decide where the spend will have the strongest effect.
Deck Painting & Staining
Decks are a big part of how many North Shore homes are used, especially through the warmer months. We paint, stain, and oil decks as part of a wider house painting project so the outdoor living area feels maintained and consistent with the rest of the property.
The right approach depends on the timber, the existing finish, and the level of exposure. Some decks suit a paint system, while others are better protected and better looking with a stain or oil.
Cabinet Painting
If the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry cabinetry is dated but structurally sound, cabinet painting can make a noticeable difference without the cost of full replacement. It is one of the smartest add-ons to a wider house painting project because it helps the inside of the home feel genuinely updated rather than just repainted. When coordinated with the rest of the interior, cabinet painting can help tie the home together visually and improve the overall result for a relatively modest additional spend.
Concrete & Timber Add-On Services
Some homes also benefit from painting or coating additional surfaces like concrete paths, retaining walls, outdoor timber features, pergolas, or stained exterior elements. Including these in the main scope can help the property look more complete and avoid the stop-start feel that happens when these areas are left until later. Where it makes sense, we can coordinate these add-ons into the main schedule so the entire project runs more smoothly and the final finish feels cohesive.
Interior Renovation & Painting
As a division of Above Board Interiors, Auckland’s GIB® specialists, we offer a seamless transition from plastering to painting. For renovations, extensions, and new builds, we paint fresh GIB board with the correct sealer and topcoat system to achieve a flawless Level 4 or Level 5 paint finish.
House Paint Systems Explained
Interior walls, ceilings, trims, exterior cladding, cedar, and timber features all need systems that suit the surface, the wear level, and the environment they sit in.
Interior Wall & Ceiling Systems
For interior walls and ceilings, we use premium systems such as Resene SpaceCote and Dulux Wash & Wear, selected in the right sheen for the room and the way the space is used. These systems are designed to give a clean finish, hold colour well, and make everyday maintenance more manageable.
Trim, Joinery & Door Systems
Doors, skirting boards, architraves, and other joinery need a harder-wearing finish than the main wall surfaces. Products like Resene Lustacryl and Dulux Aquanamel are used where more durability and a cleaner-looking detailed finish are needed on high-touch areas.
Exterior Cladding Systems
Weatherboards, plaster, and other common North Shore claddings are matched with proven systems such as Resene Lumbersider and Dulux Weathershield so the finish not only looks good, but also performs properly over time.
Cedar, Timber & Specialist Systems
Cedar and other exposed timbers often need a stain-based or specialist system rather than a standard paint finish. Products like Resene Woodsman are used where breathable protection and a more natural timber result are the better long-term fit.
What we recommend for every North Shore home.
House Painting Step by Step
Refined over 17 years and thousands of completed interiors. Consistent quality, minimal disruption.
Free In-Home Consultation
We assess interior and exterior conditions, discuss colours, identify prep challenges, and quote within 48 hours, fully itemised, no hidden fees.
Colour Selection
Free colour consultation with Resene and Dulux testpots applied directly on your walls in your home's natural and artificial lighting.
Project Scheduling
We coordinate the schedule so preparation and drying times overlap sensibly, which helps keep the project efficient and avoids dragging the job out longer than it needs to run.
Surface Preparation
Washing, sanding, filling every crack and hole, treating mould, priming all surfaces. We invest 60-70% of every project on preparation.
Professional Application
Primer/sealer plus two topcoats at correct spreading rate. Walls rolled, trims brushed by hand, spray for large areas. Interior work is usually completed room by room, while exterior work is managed around weather and access so the project stays controlled and the finish holds up.
Inspection & Handover
At the end of the job, we complete a final walkthrough with you, carry out any touch-ups, remove protection and scaffolding where relevant, and leave the home tidy. You receive a completed result backed by written workmanship assurance and a record of the products used.

What North Shore Homeowners Say
House Painting FAQs
How much does it cost to paint a house on the North Shore?
It depends on the size of the home, the condition of the surfaces, the cladding type, and whether you are repainting the interior, exterior, or both. Full house interior and exterior packages generally cost more up front than partial scopes, but they usually deliver better value overall because the work is coordinated as one project.
How long does a full house painting project take?
That depends on the size of the home, the level of preparation required, the number of storeys, and the weather for the exterior stages. A smaller full-house repaint may take a few weeks, while larger or more complex homes can take longer, especially when repairs or scaffolding are involved.
Is it cheaper to combine interior and exterior painting?
Yes, in most cases it is. Combining both scopes usually saves money compared with quoting them separately because mobilisation, access, and preparation can be coordinated more efficiently.
Do I need to move out while you paint?
Usually not. We paint room by room, allowing you to continue living in your home. We protect all furniture and flooring, use low-VOC paints, and clean up daily. For extensive projects with heavy sanding or spray painting, we may suggest temporarily vacating specific rooms.
What paint brands do you use?
We use Resene and Dulux systems for house painting, with products selected to match the surface and environment. That includes interior wall systems, harder-wearing joinery finishes, exterior cladding systems, and specialist products for cedar and other timber surfaces.
How long will the paint last?
With proper preparation and premium products, interior finishes can last many years and exterior finishes can also hold up well long term. The actual lifespan depends on the exposure, surface condition, and how suitable the selected system is for the home.
Do you handle timber repairs?
Yes. Minor timber repairs can be carried out as part of preparation, and where more significant work is needed we can coordinate that before painting continues. Painting over damaged timber is not a proper solution.
Can you paint my house in winter?
Yes, provided the conditions are suitable. Interior painting can be completed year-round, and exterior painting can also be done in milder winter conditions with the right products and weather management.
