Real jobs, real photos, and the notes we wrote at the time.

Every photo on this page was taken on one of our own jobs. Alongside them are our notes on how each job was done: the prep, the products and the number of coats. It’s the same approach we take on every project, big or small.

Interior

Cedar Ceiling Painted White — Menai

“The customer wanted to paint the cedar timber ceiling white. The process was two full coats of Zinsser Cover Stain to lock in the tannins and knots, followed by three coats of Dulux ceiling flat. Not done properly, these jobs can have huge repercussions later with bleed-through from the timber. Two coats of oil-based stain cover are essential.” — job notes, interior painting in Menai

Town Centre Exterior, Painted at Night — Ingleburn

“This project was carried out at night to prevent disruption to the busy daytime. We had traffic management in place for safety, and the use of EWPs and scissor lifts was essential. The project was completed with no loss of trade for the customer and no inconvenience for the public in the middle of Ingleburn town centre.” — job notes

Lead Paint Encapsulation — Richmond

“The main purpose of this project was to remediate the old lead paint. Hazmat went through first to do all the prep work under Hazmat regulations, then we encapsulated the paint by painting over it. Safety first, as always.” — job notes, Richmond
