Your estate home deserves better than a quick coat and a prayer.
If you live in a Durbanville security estate, you already know the drill. Gate access. HOA colour rules. Neighbours watching. And a house you've spent years getting right. Here's how to repaint it without the headaches.
A straight word before you get quotes
Most repaints in estates go wrong in the same three places.
We've walked onto plenty of Durbanville estate homes painted only a few years back. Blistering on the north wall. Hairline cracks showing through again. Paint on the paving. The owner usually says the same thing: "But it looked great when they finished."
That's the trap. A fresh coat always looks great on day one. What matters is what happened underneath.
- Preparation got skipped. Chalky or flaking surfaces weren't washed and scraped. Cracks got a smear of filler. Paint went over it all. One wet Cape winter later, it shows.
- The quote was vague. A single number with no scope. No products named. No coats listed. Then the "extras" start once the ladders are up.
- The estate side was an afterthought. Crew turned away at the gate. Wrong colour against the HOA schedule. Bakkies parked on the neighbour's verge. Now you're the one getting the letter from the trustees.
None of that is bad luck. It's how the job was planned. Or wasn't.
How we do it differently
We're Durbanville locals. We plan your house before we paint it.
We're based right here in Durbanville. Estate jobs are a big part of what we do, and we treat the admin as part of the job, not your problem.
- We check your estate's colour schedule and building rules first.
- We plan access, working hours and parking with you before day one.
- We protect paving, windows, frames and gardens properly.
- Cracks and parapets get treated, and where it suits we use Rubber Sealant® Liquid Rubber. We're an approved applicator and authorised reseller.
- Plascon is our preferred paint on most projects.
