This homeowner in Avondale, Auckland, was tired of looking at their faded, weather-beaten stucco exterior. The paint was dull, cracked, and peeling, making the whole house look tired and neglected. The homeowner loved the character of the stucco finish but wanted to refresh the look without changing the texture.
That’s when they called us in to work some painting magic. Through our exterior painting services, we were able to breathe new life into this tired old home.
The exterior needed more than just a fresh coat of paint. Proper preparation and the right products would ensure the new paint would stick and last for years. Here’s how we did it:
We started by giving the stucco a high-pressure wash using eco-friendly cleaning solutions to remove dirt, mould, and flaky paint. Stucco’s textured finish traps dirt, so a deep clean was crucial for a long-lasting paint job.
Once the stucco was clean and dry, we inspected the surface for cracks and chips. We filled any small cracks with flexible exterior filler to create a smooth, even finish. Since stucco doesn’t need sanding, we simply spot-primed the patched areas to ensure consistent colour and adhesion.
We used Dulux professional-grade exterior paint formulated specifically for textured surfaces. To maintain the character of the stucco, we applied the paint using a spray technique, which evenly coated the textured surface without clogging the grooves.
We applied two top coats for maximum durability and colour vibrancy, protecting the exterior from UV rays, rain, and humidity. This high-quality paint is designed to resist cracking, peeling, and fading, keeping the house looking fresh for years.
The new vibrant colour of this exterior paint job brought the Spanish feel of the stucco finish to life. The spray-painting technique enhanced the textured finish, creating a beautiful play of light and shadow that made the exterior pop.
The homeowners were thrilled with the result. They loved how the new colour brightened up the whole property, making it look clean, modern, and inviting. It completely transformed the curb appeal, turning a tired, faded exterior into a bold, stylish statement. The crisp lines around the windows and trim highlighted the architectural details, giving the home a polished, contemporary look.
