Exterior Repainting Broken Head
Exterior repainting in Broken Head — walls, eaves, fascia, gutters, doors and window trim washed back, repaired and recoated in a three-coat weather-rated system built for hard Australian UV and driving summer rain.
Repainting the outside of a Broken Head home
Most exterior repaints we quote in Broken Head are hardiplank cladding on a two-storey build sitting 8–12 years past their last coat: chalky north and west walls, flaking eaves, brittle enamel on window frames and fascia boards showing bare timber at the joins. We fix the substrate first, then paint it.
Dust, mildew and years of road grime build up on Broken Head walls, especially on the shaded southern side. Everything gets a pressure and sugar-soap wash with a mould treatment before a brush touches it.
Broken Head properties sit between rainforest and beach — damp shade on one side, salt and sun on the other. Prep then means scraping and sanding failed coatings, replacing perished putty and exterior filler, sealing gaps with paintable sealant, and spot-priming every bare or rusted area — oil-based primer on bare timber, rust-inhibitive primer on metal, sealer binder on chalked render.
A full exterior repaint of a single-storey home in Broken Head usually runs 5–8 working days and starts around $7,300; a two-storey lands between $11,500 and $17,500 with access equipment, prep, paint and labour included. Every price is measured on site and fixed in writing — never quoted over the phone.

Exterior repainting Broken Head — frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to repaint a house exterior in Broken Head?
- A single-storey exterior repaint in Broken Head starts around $7,300 in 2026, and a two-storey typically runs $11,500–$17,500. That covers pressure washing, scraping and sanding, filling, priming and two weather-rated finish coats on walls, eaves, fascia and trim.
- How long does an exterior repaint take in Broken Head?
- 5–8 working days for a standard home in Broken Head, weather permitting. Prep is usually half of that. You get a day-by-day schedule with the quote, and we don't coat in rain or when humidity would stop the film curing properly.
- How often should you repaint a house exterior in Broken Head?
- Exteriors in Broken Head generally hold 8–10 years. North and west walls fade first, and timber fascia, window frames and doors usually need attention a few years before the walls do.
- What paint do you use on exteriors?
- A three-coat system: a sealer or primer suited to the substrate, then two coats of premium weather-rated exterior acrylic, with enamel on doors and metal trim. Colour and sheen are chosen with you on site, and we paint sample boards so you see them in Broken Head light before we order.
- Do you repair timber and render before painting?
- Yes — minor timber repairs, re-puttying, filling and sealing gaps and treating rust and mould are all part of the quote. Anything structural we flag with photos before we start rather than paint over it.
- Can we stay in the house during an exterior repaint?
- Yes. Almost every Broken Head exterior we do is on an occupied home — windows and doors stay usable, gardens and driveways get covered, and we clean the site down each afternoon.
- Do you paint two-storey homes and hard-access exteriors?
- Yes. We use scaffold or elevated work platforms where ladders aren't safe, and the access cost is written into the fixed quote so nothing appears later.
- Are you licensed and insured to work in Broken Head?
- Yes — NSW Contractor Licence 461243C and QLD Licence 15536255, with full public liability insurance. Certificates of currency are supplied on request before we start.
