Shielding Wellington Homes: Exterior Painting That Weathers the Storm
In Wellington, your home’s exterior isn’t just about kerb appeal—it’s your first line of defence against nature’s whims. From howling northerlies to salt-laden sea breezes, the capital’s weather can take its toll on even the sturdiest of homes. At Residential Painters Wellington, we don’t just paint houses; we fortify them.

Wellington's Weather: A Painter's Ultimate Challenge
Our city’s nickname, “Windy Wellington,” only tells part of the story. Your home’s exterior paint faces a daily battle against:
- Intense UV radiation during our clear summer days
- Salt spray carried inland from Cook Strait
- Driving rain that can find the smallest weakness in your paint’s armour
- Rapid temperature fluctuations that cause expansion and contraction
This unique combination demands more than just any old paint job. It requires a tailored approach that only local experts can provide.

A Painted History: Wellington Homes Transformed
“Our 1930s art deco home in Hataitai was showing its age, with peeling paint and weather-worn surfaces. The team from Residential Painters Wellington didn’t just apply a new coat of paint—they restored our home’s original glamour while providing modern protection against the elements. The neighbours have been asking for their number!” – Michael and Sarah, Hataitai
