Takapuna Character Home Exterior & Interior Repaint

Why do Takapuna homes need a specialist paint system?

Takapuna's coastal location means homes are exposed to salt-laden air year-round. Standard paint systems chalk and peel faster in these conditions. Wall Treats specify coastal-grade products with higher salt and moisture resistance to ensure lasting results.

How often should a Takapuna heritage home be repainted?

In direct coastal zones, we recommend a full repaint every 7–10 years depending on the paint system used, aspect of the home, and condition of the substrate. Regular washing and maintenance can extend this cycle.

Do you match original heritage colours?

Yes. We colour-match to existing paintwork or period references, and can advise on historically appropriate palettes for arts and crafts, villa, and bungalow-style homes.

Will you repair weatherboard damage before painting?

Surface preparation is the most important part of any repaint. We identify and repair rot, cracks, and failed joinery before any paint is applied - never paint over a problem.

Does Wall Treats work on occupied homes?

Yes. The majority of our residential projects are carried out while homeowners are in residence. Naturally we work to minimise disruption and keep the site clean and safe throughout.
