What Durbanville homes do to paint
Durbanville sits high and open. The south easter comes through in summer and drives rain into the west and south walls in winter. On the older face brick and plaster homes around the town centre, that shows up first as hairline cracking above windows, then as a chalky, powdery wall that will not hold a new coat.
The newer estates on the Fisantekraal side have a different problem. Thin modern plaster over block, fast build programmes, and a lot of parapet detail. Water gets in at the coping and travels, so the stain inside is rarely under the failure.
Why we quote after a proper look
We climb the roof, we photograph what we find, and we write down the water path before we price anything. If we cannot explain in one sentence how water is getting in, we have not diagnosed it yet.
That means one fixed price for the whole job, setting out exactly what we prepare, what we apply and how many coats.
