Pre-sale and rental repaints

Getting a home ready to sell or ready for new tenants often comes with a date to work towards. You may need a few marked walls repainted, several rooms freshened up, or a more complete repaint. Tell us the areas that need attention and your proposed listing, inspection or tenancy date.

A targeted repaint starts with deciding what is worth including. Walls, ceilings and trims don't always need the same amount of work. We discuss the condition and agree on the areas before pricing. Touch-ups also need care: a new patch of paint may show against an older finish, so repainting a whole wall can be the better option.

This service is for homeowners selling, landlords and property managers acting for an owner. Let us know whether the home is empty or occupied and who can approve the work and arrange access. We confirm whether the job can fit the requested dates before you book. Painting can improve presentation, but it cannot promise a sale price or a tenancy outcome.
