Painting,
The Cedar People Way
Give tired or previously painted cedar a fresh start with a durable, modern look. We thoroughly prep and repair the timber surface before applying a premium, weather-resistant two-coat system designed to withstand our tough local climate. It's a complete, professional restoration process that fully protects your home from UV damage and moisture, leaving you with a beautiful final finish.
Cedar painting is ideal for restoring tired or heavily weathered timber with a fresh, uniform finish. Unlike staining or oiling, paint fully covers the natural grain, creating a clean, modern appearance while forming a durable protective coating against UV exposure, moisture, and New Zealand’s harsh weather conditions. It is also the best option when cedar has previously been painted, as recoating maintains protection, improves appearance, and extends the life of the existing finish.
