Wooden Fence Painting
Your wooden fence endures constant exposure to UV rays, moisture, and salty air which can quickly lead to wear and tear. Without proper protection, wooden fences can crack, warp, or rot over time. At Northland Painters, we use high-quality, weather-resistant paints to enhance the beauty of your property but also provide a durable shield against the elements.
We offer a wide range of exterior paints suitable for fences, including standard earthy tones as well as more modern colour palettes, allowing homeowners in Northland to choose from a variety of finishes. However, in Northland, common fence colours tend to be grey, brown, and other neutral tones as these colours blend well with natural surroundings and provide a classic, understated look.
Our painters use a paint sprayer to evenly coat a wooden fence, ensuring a smooth, uniform finish. The sprayer allows for quick, even coverage, getting into hard-to-reach areas between the boards and ensuring no brush marks are left behind. Proper safety measures, like wearing a mask, are taken by our team to avoid inhaling fumes or paint particles.
Metal Fence Painting
Painting a metal fence requires specialised techniques to ensure long-lasting protection against the harsh conditions of Northland. Metal surfaces can easily succumb to rust, corrosion, and weathering if not properly treated. At Northland Painters, we begin our process for exterior house painting in Whangarei & Bay of Islands[internal link: exterior painting page] with surface preparation. We thoroughly clean the fence to remove any rust, dirt, or old paint that could compromise the finish. After cleaning, we apply a high-quality rust-inhibiting primer to prevent moisture damage and extend the life of your metal fence.
For the best results, we often use a spray technique, as it allows for even coverage and reaches all the intricate details of the fence without leaving brush marks. When it comes to paint choices, we use enamel paints or epoxy-based coatings, as they are ideal for metal surfaces and offer superior resistance to the elements.
Fence Staining Whangarei & Bay of Islands
Fence staining is necessary when your wooden fence starts showing signs of fading, cracking, or weathering due to exposure to the elements. Staining penetrates the wood, preserving its natural grain while offering protection from moisture and UV damage. Metal fences, on the other hand, are not suited for staining and require specific paints or coatings to prevent rust and corrosion.
At Northland Painters, we use high-quality oil-based or semi-transparent stains that enhance the natural beauty of the wood while providing a protective layer. Natural wood tones like cedar, pine, and oak are popular choices for staining among our customers as they enhance the rustic charm of outdoor spaces.
We use a wide brush with soft bristles to apply an even coat of stain along the grain of the wood. This ensures the stain penetrates deeply, protecting and preserving the wood’s texture and colour. Before applying stain, the surface is usually cleaned and sanded to create a smooth, even surface for maximum absorption. For a richer colour or additional protection, we apply multiple coats.
Why Choose Professional Fence Painters?
If fence painting isn’t done by professionals, several issues can arise that impact both the durability and appearance of your fence. One common problem is poor surface preparation—if dirt, old paint, or rust isn’t properly removed beforehand, the new paint won’t adhere well, leading to premature peeling or cracking. Another issue is uneven application, which can result in streaks, blotches, or inconsistent colour.
Hiring professional fence painters like Northland Painters will give you peace of mind that your investment won’t be wasted. Our professional painters thoroughly prepare the surface to ensure that the paint adheres smoothly and lasts longer. We use specialised techniques, such as spraying for metal fences or brushing for intricate wooden designs, to ensure an even, flawless finish. By choosing our experts, you’re investing in a long-lasting, professional result that not only improves the appearance but also extends the life of your fence.
