Painting Services in Norwood, Adelaide
Norwood is one of Adelaide's oldest suburbs, and its streets show it: stone-fronted villas and cottages, Edwardian homes with timber verandahs, and character houses with modern extensions out the back. Painting them well comes down to two things. Knowing what should and shouldn't be painted, and preparing old surfaces properly before any paint goes on.
We paint Norwood homes inside and out, from a single room to a full exterior, plus shopfronts and offices along The Parade. Every job starts with an in-person quote, and you get a fixed price in writing.

Norwood Homes and What They Need
Stone fronts: what to leave alone
Unpainted stone stays natural. We paint everything around it.
Many Norwood homes have bluestone or sandstone fronts with brick or rendered trims. Original stone that has never been painted is usually best left that way. Paint is very hard to get off stone once it's on, and on a heritage-listed home it may need council approval. What we paint is everything around it: window frames, doors, verandahs, fascias, gutters, and rendered or previously painted walls.
Verandahs, lacework and sash windows
Scrape, fill and prime first, or the new paint fails in the same spots.
Timber verandahs, fretwork, cast-iron lace and double-hung sash windows take the most time on a character home. Flaking paint gets scraped back, gaps are filled and bare timber is primed before the topcoats go on. Skip that and the new paint fails at the same weak spots as the old.
High ceilings, cornices and old plaster
Plaster cracks get repaired and primed, not painted over.
Inside, villas often have high ceilings, decorative cornices, ceiling roses and old plaster walls. Old plaster cracks and moves differently to modern plasterboard, so cracks get repaired and primed before we paint, not just painted over.
Salt damp on lower walls
Deal with salt damp first, or new paint will fail again.
Paint bubbling or flaking along the bottom of a stone wall is often salt damp, which is common in older Adelaide homes. New paint over salt damp will fail again. If we spot it at the quote, we'll point it out so it can be dealt with before painting.
Lead in older paint
Built before the mid-1970s? Assume there's lead in the old paint.
SA Health advises assuming any house built before the mid-1970s has lead-based paint in its older layers. Sanding or scraping it releases toxic dust, so it has to be handled carefully. If your home is that age, ask us how we'll manage it on your job.
