Weatherboard Painting: Why Timber Needs More Than a Fresh Coat
Weatherboards move. They swell when it’s wet and shrink in summer, every year, for decades. Paint on timber has to flex with that, and when it can’t, it cracks along the joins and starts lifting. That’s why a weatherboard repaint is mostly about prep.
What usually needs fixing
Bottom boards close to the garden beds go soft first. Nail heads rust and bleed through. Gaps open up at the corners and around window frames. Loose, flaking paint has to come off back to a sound surface, damaged boards get repaired or replaced, and bare timber gets primed so the topcoat actually sticks.
Older weatherboards often have lead paint under the newer layers. Sanding it needs to be done safely.
The sunny side fails first
If your north or west wall looks worse than the rest of the house, that’s normal. The afternoon sun bakes it every day. We pay extra attention to those walls, and we time the work so paint isn’t going onto boards that are too hot or still damp.
Paint and colour
We use premium weather-resistant paint made for exterior timber. Darker colours look great on weatherboards, but they absorb more heat. Worth thinking about on a wall that gets the full afternoon sun. Our paint types guide explains the finishes, and your free colour consult will help you land on something that suits the house.
Brick or rendered bits as well? We do those at the same time. See exterior painting.
Cost
The condition of the boards is the big variable, so we quote after seeing them. The exterior cost guide has more.
A recent weatherboard job
A two-storey home with weatherboard-style cladding, finished in a warm taupe, with white trims, fascias and verandah posts to pick out the lines of the house. With this many boards, eaves and corners, the prep takes longer than the painting. That’s normal, and it’s why the finish holds up.
“I have used Classico Painting for both residential and commercial projects a couple of times now, and am very happy with the quality and service I have been given. I would highly recommend using this business to anybody wanting a quality finish by a professional team.”
