How long does house painting take?

An interior repaint of a typical home is usually a few days to a week on site. A full exterior repaint runs one to three weeks depending on the size of the house, how much prep is needed, and the weather. We won't put coats on in rain or strong wind, so exterior work can stretch a bit, but we build a sensible buffer into the timeframe we quote you.

Do you do free quotes?

Yes. Every quote is free with no obligation. We come to site, walk through the rooms or around the exterior, check the surfaces and the prep involved, and write up a fixed price rather than a rough estimate. If there's anything that could change the number we'll tell you up front instead of hiding a contingency in the total.

Yes. We're fully insured and carry public liability cover, and every job comes with a written workmanship guarantee. We're happy to send proof of insurance with the quote so you can verify it before any work starts, and we'll forward it to your builder or insurer if they need it for the project file.

What paint brands do you use?

Mainly Resene and Dulux, with Wattyl on some jobs where the spec calls for it. We pick the right product for each surface rather than rolling the same tin over everything: low-sheen washable for living areas, enamel for trim and doors, weatherproof systems for exteriors, and specialist coatings for roofs. The surface and the conditions decide the product, not what's cheapest to buy.

Reviews

What Christchurch homeowners say

"Intext Plaster & Paint did the painting on our new build in Faringdon. Builder recommended them and I can see why. Clean lines on the ceilings, no overspray on the cedar accents, no callbacks. They were on site exactly when our builder said they would be, which apparently isn't normal."

"Got three quotes for repainting the weatherboard front and side of our place. Intext Plaster & Paint wasn't the cheapest but they walked through the flaking and prep issues no-one else had picked up. Crew turned up when they said, finished a day early, and the finish is genuinely better than what was there originally."

"We had a leak at the back of the house that turned into major exterior repairs, so the interior needed repainting once the builders were done. Intext Plaster & Paint handled the painting and were the easiest part of a stressful process. They flagged a couple of damp patches the builder hadn't fully dried out before they started, and the finish blends in perfectly with the rooms we didn't touch."

FAQs

Things Sumner homeowners ask us.

As a ballpark, an interior repaint runs roughly $35 to $55 per square metre of wall and ceiling, including prep and two coats. A three-bedroom interior usually tracks $4,500 to $9,000. Exterior repaints sit around $6,000 to $16,000 for a typical single-storey home, depending on condition, access, and the system. Every job is quoted after we've had a look, so you get a real number rather than a guess.
