How It Runs
From First CallTo Handover.
How a typical weatherboard painting job runs, start to finish.
Assess the boards
We check board condition, old paint and any repairs needed before quoting.
Written quote
Repairs and painting priced clearly so there are no surprises later.
Prepare the surface
Washing, scraping, sanding and priming come first, always.
Paint and inspect
Topcoats go on evenly and the finished walls are checked with you.
Weatherboards reward care and punish shortcuts
A weatherboard house can look spectacular when it is freshly painted, and shabby when the paint lets go. The difference is almost never the paint. It is whether the boards were washed, scraped, sanded and primed before the colour went on.
Timber moves with the weather, old paint chalks and peels, and gaps open at joints and boards. Painting over that locks the problem in. Prime Painting Experts prepares weatherboards properly, so the new finish protects the timber instead of hiding it.
What is included
Full wash and scrape. Dirt, mould, chalking and loose paint removed so the new coating bonds to sound material.
Repairs and gap filling. Damaged sections repaired, gaps filled, and nails set before painting.
Priming bare timber. Any board sanded back to bare timber is primed before topcoats, so suction and tannin do not spoil the finish.
Even topcoats, clean edges. Boards painted evenly with careful cutting in at windows, corners and trims.
Peeling boards
Peeling is the most common weatherboard problem we see. The fix is to scrape and sand back to a sound edge, prime the bare timber, and repaint. It takes longer than painting over the top, and it is the only version that lasts.
The weather side and the bottom boards
Not every wall ages at the same rate. North and west elevations cop the sun, the bottom courses near the ground cop splashback and garden moisture, and the walls under deep eaves barely weather at all. Preparation and priming effort goes where the weather goes - the bottom boards and the sun side decide how long the whole job lasts.
Timber that needs replacing first
Soft spots, rot at board ends and boards that have cupped or split need carpentry before paint. Painting over rot hides it just long enough to get worse. We point out suspect boards at the quote inspection, so the repair conversation happens before painting, not after the first peel. Larger repair sections may need a carpenter, and we will tell you straight if that is the case.

Older boards need slower preparation
Weatherboard homes - especially pre-1970s ones - often carry many layers of old paint. Failing sections are scraped back to a sound edge and sanded to a feather, bare timber is spot-primed, and gaps are filled with flexible filler that moves with the boards. Where boards are rotten or badly cupped, we flag them before painting so you can have them replaced rather than painted over.
Lead paint caution
Homes painted before the 1970s can have lead-based coatings. Where the age of the paint suggests it, we test before sanding and use lead-safe preparation methods - containment, wet sanding and careful cleanup - so dust does not spread through your home or garden.

Common Enquiries
Questions AboutWeatherboard Painting.
Straightforward answers to the questions we get asked most often.
Yes. Peeling paint is scraped and sanded back to a sound edge, bare timber is primed, and then the topcoats go on. Painting straight over peeling paint just locks the problem in, so the preparation is where the time goes.
