Looking for trusted exterior painters in Wellington? Whether you’re refreshing your home’s curb appeal or protecting it from Wellington’s wild weather, choosing the right exterior painting team is essential – and can make or break your investment.
At Redecorators, we don’t just paint homes. We preserve them with precision, passion, and products built for the coast.
Why Exterior Painting in Wellington Demands More Than Just Paint
Wellington is beautiful but brutal on paint. With constant wind, salty sea air, and rapid temperature swings, unprotected exteriors crack, peel, and fade faster than in any other NZ city.
That’s why not all painters are equal. If your painter doesn’t use weatherproof methods, you could be repainting again within 2 years.
Our Proven 5‑Step Weather‑Resistant Exterior Painting Process
At Redecorators, our exterior process is battle-tested in Wellington’s climate:
- Exterior Assessment – We inspect for cracks, mould, and surface damage.
- Surface Restoration – We clean, sand, and seal every inch for max adhesion.
- High-Bond Priming – Using Resene and Dulux systems designed for wind and moisture.
- Multi-Coat Application – Using UV-stable, salt-resistant coatings for maximum durability.
- Final Inspection & Clean-Up – Because nothing ruins a good job like bad cleanup.

3 Mistakes People Make When Hiring Exterior Painters in Wellington
1. Hiring Based on Price Alone
Cheap painters often skip surface prep the #1 cause of early paint failure.
2. Using Interior Paints Outside
Don’t laugh, we’ve had to fix this mistake more than once. Exterior paint is built for UV, salt, and moisture. Interior paint is not.
3. Skipping Colour Consultation
Wellington light is different. A paint that looks great in Auckland may look washed out here. We offer a free exterior colour consultation to help you pick the perfect shade.
How Long Will an Exterior Paint Job Last in Wellington?
With our method? 8–12 years, depending on the surface type and exposure. Without it? 2-4 years or worse.
