Professional painters in Cape Town from R45/m². Interior painting, exterior painting, feature walls, roof painting and waterproofing across the City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs and Southern Peninsula. CIPC registered company. Written quote, Plascon and Dulux only, 2-year warranty on every job.
Ask any painter who's worked both sides of the country and they'll tell you: Cape Town punishes paint in ways Gauteng never does. It's not just the sun — it's the combination. Southeaster gusts strip loose material off a facade before it's even had time to fail properly. Salt carried in off the Atlantic works into masonry near the coast and keeps working long after the paint job is "done." And a wall that gets baked all afternoon on the north side of a City Bowl house is a completely different surface to prep than the same wall three doors down in permanent shade.
We price the actual wall in front of us — the exposure, the surface condition, the access.
What changes the quote: a Sea Point or Camps Bay exterior gets a different prep spec than an inland Durbanville home — more filler, an extra primer coat, sometimes a full scrape-back where salt has already lifted the old coating. A Victorian or Edwardian home in the City Bowl or Southern Suburbs often has lime plaster underneath later layers of modern paint, and painting over it wrong traps moisture and blisters within a year — we check what's actually on the wall before we quote. And if you're in a sectional title block, we get the body corporate's approved colour scheme confirmed before ordering a drop of paint, so there's no repaint because someone picked the wrong shade of white.
What doesn't change, wherever you are: Plascon and Dulux only — nothing unbranded, nothing "just as good." Full prep before any paint goes on. Two coats minimum. A written quote before we start and a signed 2-year workmanship warranty when we finish. CIPC: 2025/257893/07 — look it up yourself at cipc.co.za before you decide anything.

"Full exterior repaint of our home on the Atlantic Seaboard — they understood the salt air issue straight away and used the right coating. No shortcuts, no surprises on the final invoice."
"Feature wall in our open-plan lounge — deep charcoal grey. They consulted on colour, prepped the wall properly and sprayed it perfectly. Written quote, came in on budget. Will use again for the exterior."
"Our older City Bowl home needed proper attention to the original plaster before painting — they explained exactly what the surface needed and didn't cut corners. Honest about the extra prep work required, and it showed in the finish."
