Painting inside a Rye house
Every suburb is a different paint job. Here is what's particular to Rye, and what each thing means for the work.
Shut for most of the year
More than half of Rye's private dwellings, 54.5%, were empty on census night in 2021. A closed house between the bay and the ocean has no heating on and no windows open for weeks at a time. Moisture settles, and mould turns up on bathroom and laundry ceilings, behind wardrobes and in the corners of cold rooms. Our painters treat and clean a mouldy wet-area ceiling before it is painted. Skip that step and the marks are back through the new paint by the following winter.
1950s and 60s beach houses
Much of Rye dates from the 1950s and 1960s, when housing spread from the bay to the back beach. Trims in houses of that age were almost always painted in oil-based enamel, and it is often still there under later coats. It goes yellow in rooms that stay dark, which a shut-up holiday house does. Every quote checks the doors, frames and skirtings for it, because painting over old enamel changes the prep.
From holiday house to full-time home
The Shire noted in 2002 that Rye's holiday homes were turning into permanent ones, with owners spending on older properties. A house that was fine for six weeks a year looks different when you live in it every day: marked walls, tired ceilings, a dozen old colour choices. Rye's median age is 51 and 45.6% of homes are owned outright, so many of these jobs are for people settling in for good.
Timing it around summer
Traffic through Rye is at its heaviest in the peak holiday weeks, and that is when most owners want the house for themselves. Inside work doesn't depend on the weather, so the cooler months suit it. Tell us when the house is free. The written quote sets out the prep, the price with GST and when the work would run.

In Rye, like anywhere, the cheapest quote skips the prep, uses cheap paint and does one coat. It looks fine for a few months, then it peels, and you're paying someone to strip it and start again.

Interior Repaint in Rye
In Rye, most houses were built in the 1950s and 1960s and later. Houses from before 1970 can have lead-based paint in the older layers. Aussie Painting doesn't do lead paint removal, so if you're not sure, have it tested before any sanding. Doors and trims in houses of that age often still carry oil-based enamel. Painting over it changes the prep, so every quote checks for it. Mouldy bathroom and laundry ceilings are treated and cleaned before any paint goes on, so the mould doesn't come back through. Rye stretches from the calm bay beach, with its old lime kiln, right across to the wild ocean back beach. Homes near the back beach cop wind-blown sand and salt, which wear paint fast, so thorough washing and prep come first.
