One of the things people don’t always think about during a renovation is when the painting should happen. We get it — there’s usually a rush to get things moving. But when it comes to paintwork, doing things in the right order can save time, money, and frustration.
At JC Painting Solutions, we’ve been called in more than once to fix up jobs where the walls were painted before the windows were even installed. It might seem like a small detail, but fitting new windows after the painting’s done can cause dings, scratches, or mess from sealants — not to mention the extra time spent touching it all up again.
Let’s say a builder is installing frames from the aluminium windows Melbourne based company EZ Windows. These are modern, sharp-looking units, and they deserve a clean finish around them. Waiting until they’re in before we paint means we can properly mask the frames, cut in clean lines, and make sure the wall colour sits just right against them.
It’s all about timing. Painting too early often means painting twice.
When windows, doors, or even skirting go in first, we can give everything a tidy, polished finish the first time around — no patching needed. It’s a small shift in the schedule, but it makes a big difference to how the final result looks.
If you’re planning a build or reno, we’re happy to chat about the best time to bring us in. The result? Fewer headaches and a cleaner, longer-lasting finish.
