Painters The Junction NSW
The Junction sits between Merewether and Bar Beach, with homes a short walk from the sea and a busy little village of shops.
Painter in The Junction, NSW
Salt in the air settles on outside walls and metal here. Walls are washed down before painting so the salt doesn't stop the paint sticking, exteriors get a paint made for coastal homes, and rust on gutters and railings is treated first. See coastal home painting in Newcastle.
From Edgeworth it's about 25 minutes.
Units and village shops
Inside your own unit the colours are up to you; outside walls and common areas need the owners corporation's approval first. Shops in the village are painted around trading hours, agreed before the job starts. The bathroom in the photo is a job just up the road in Cooks Hill.
Older homes here can carry paint from before the 1970s, which can contain lead, so I check for it at the quote. See healthdirect's guide to lead exposure.

How a job runs
You get a site visit and a written quote first. On the day, furniture is moved and covered, floors get drop sheets, and each room is put back before I move on. At the end we walk through it together.
How much does it cost?
Near the beach, washing down and treating rust are listed in the quote as their own lines.
Every quote is written and lists each surface. For what goes into a painting price, see how much a painter costs in Newcastle.
Who does the painting
Me, Jye Hughes. I hold NSW painter-decorator licence 476719C, which you can check on the NSW Fair Trading licence check. I quote the job and I paint it, and you deal with the same person from start to finish.

Questions from homeowners in The Junction
How often does a house near the beach need repainting?
Sooner than one inland, especially on the side facing the sea. Washing the walls down once or twice a year helps the paint last.
Can you paint inside my unit?
Yes. Inside your own unit you choose the colours. Outside and common areas need strata approval first.
Do you paint in Bar Beach and Merewether Heights?
Yes. Both are next to The Junction.
Can you paint our shop after hours?
Yes. Early starts, evenings and weekends are agreed up front, so the shop keeps trading.
Is the quote free?
Yes. The site visit and the written quote are free.
