Painters Ryde

Ryde’s housing stock is mixed, and each type comes with its own painting job.

Brick homes through West Ryde, Denistone and Meadowbank are usually rendered or face brick with painted timber trim, eaves and fascias. On these, the trim and eaves are almost always the first thing to fail — south-facing timber that hasn’t been touched in fifteen years needs proper stripping and priming, not another coat over flaking paint.

Homes around Ryde and Putney often have detailed timber work, decorative gables and original weatherboard. These need patience with preparation and a sympathetic colour approach — and if the property’s in a conservation area, colour choices may be worth checking before you commit.

The newer apartment and townhouse developments through Macquarie Park, Meadowbank and along the Ryde/Rhodes corridor are typically rendered and painted common areas with rendered or painted concrete. These are usually strata jobs, and we handle them accordingly — scheduled, coordinated with the manager, and staged so residents aren’t locked out of their own building.

The riverside pockets — Putney, Tennyson Point, Meadowbank down toward the Parramatta River — get more moisture and more mould growth on southern and shaded elevations than the rest of Ryde does. Those walls need a proper clean and treatment before anything goes on them, or the mould is likely to return through the new coat.
