Why Wellington Homeowners Choose Complete Homes Painting
Wellington weather is legendary—for all the wrong reasons. Salt-laden sea spray, sideways rain and the strongest UV index in the country team up to punish your paintwork year-round. Add the region’s notorious microclimates—southerlies in Island Bay, still heat in Upper Hutt—and you’ve got a recipe for blistering, chalking and premature rot.
Complete Homes Painting Division was built to tackle exactly these challenges. Our team combines local know-how (15+ years servicing Greater Wellington), premium materials (Dulux® Weathershield, Resene® CoolColour technology, two-pack primers) and an engineered prep-process that locks colour in and moisture out. The result? A flawless finish that stands up to Wellington’s worst while looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
But aesthetics and durability are only half the story. We understand trades horror stories—no-shows, overspray on windows, budget blowouts at the eleventh hour. That’s why we operate on a Zero-Surprise Charter: same-day quoting, fixed-price contracts, daily photo updates, and a final walkthrough you sign off before we send the invoice.
Homeowners across Khandallah, Mount Victoria and Lower Hutt rave about the experience (check the 120+ 
reviews). Combine that peace of mind with work-site tidiness that’d impress your mother-in-law, and it’s clear why Wellingtonians refuse to gamble their paint job with anyone else.

Our 5-Step “Prep-First” Process
A flawless finish starts long before the first coat. Here’s how we turn tired façades into head-turning showpieces:
Step 1 – Detailed Property & Moisture Inspection
We measure timber moisture content, identify lead-based layers, photograph cracks and log every access challenge so there are no mid-job surprises.
Step 2 – Surface Preparation That Won’t Cut Corners
Soft-wash, hand-scrape, machine-sand, gap-fill. We even vacuum dust before priming—because paint adhesion lives or dies in the prep stage.
Step 3 – Premium Primers Matched to Each Substrate
Metal roofs get a two-pack epoxy; cedar weatherboards get an oil-based sealer; new plasterboard gets acrylic sealer/undercoat. One size never fits all.
Step 4 – Precision Application, Indoors & Out
Our painters are trade-qualified, SiteSafe-certified and airless-spray trained. Expect razor-clean cut-ins, consistent film build and zero roller texture where it shouldn’t be.
Step 5 – Final Walkthrough & Written Warranty
We inspect every square centimetre with you. Only when you’re delighted do we issue the warranty certificate and a personalised after-care guide.
What Will a Fresh Coat Add to Your Home’s Value?
Ask any Wellington real-estate agent and they’ll echo the data: professionally painted exteriors return an average of 152 % ROI at sale—and that’s before counting energy savings from modern reflective pigments.
Our clients in Johnsonville and Oriental Bay have seen listing prices climb $55 k–$110 k after a $12 k–$18 k repaint. Even if you’re not selling, repainting at the 8–12-year mark prevents weatherboard degradation that can cost five figures in carpentry later.
In short, painting isn’t an expense; it’s an appreciating asset that compounds every year you defer it.

Service Area Map: From Wellington to Kapiti
We paint in Wellington City, Johnsonville, Khandallah, Karori, Miramar, Seatoun, Lower Hutt, Petone, Wainuiomata, Upper Hutt, Porirua, Whitby, Plimmerton and Kapiti Coast.
Why Wellington’s Climate Demands Specialist Prep
Salt-fog from Cook Strait, a UV index that beats Queensland on clear days, plus freeze–thaw cycles in the Hutt can wreck untreated paintwork within five winters. Here’s what we combat daily:
Salt-Mist Etching
Crystalline deposits draw moisture through paint films, causing blisters.
High-UV Degradation
Pigments oxidise; Resene® CoolColour slows fade by up to 30 %
Wind-Driven Rain
Micro-fissures let water in, then rot sets behind the boards.
Morning Frost in Upper Hutt
Tiny cracks widen each winter unless sealed with flexible elastomerics.
