Painters Inner West

terraces and old layers

A Victorian or Federation terrace usually has more coats of paint on it than anyone has counted, and some of the oldest may contain lead, which has to be checked before any sanding and changes how the work area is set up and cleaned. Our guide to lead paint in older Sydney homes explains what that means. Old lime plaster cracks and drums behind the paint, so repairs are part of most interior quotes here.

Many Inner West streets are heritage conservation areas. If you are changing the front of the house, check with council first; we can quote while you wait for an answer.

access, parking and neighbours

Front doors open straight onto the footpath, rear lanes are tight and parking is scarce. We plan where the trailer goes, how materials come in, and what happens to the shared wall with next door before the first day, so the job runs without a fight over the street. The quote is written and itemised after a site walk, and the guarantee is in writing at handover.
