Melbourne is full of beautiful weatherboard homes — and that timber needs looking after. A weatherboard exterior does more than look good; the paint film is the home’s main defence against rain, sun and rot. When it starts to flake, fade or crack, it’s time for more than a quick coat.
Why weatherboards need special care
Timber moves with the weather, so old paint eventually splits and lifts. Painting straight over failing paint just traps the problem. Proper restoration means scraping back loose material, repairing or replacing damaged boards, sanding, and priming bare timber before the topcoats go on.
The restoration process
- Wash down and remove flaking paint
- Repair split boards and fill cracks
- Prime all bare and exposed timber
- Apply durable, weather-resistant topcoats
Built for Melbourne conditions
Our climate swings from harsh summer sun to cold, wet winters. We use exterior systems suited to those conditions so your finish protects the cladding and holds its colour for years.
