Exterior House Painting Remuera: A 1910s Villa Repainted
The short answer
Exterior house painting Remuera: a 1910s villa finished with Dulux Weathershield and Aquanamel
The House Painters, a Registered Master Painters business, painted the exterior of a 1910s villa in Remuera, Auckland. The weatherboards, fascia and soffits have Dulux Weathershield® Low Sheen. The windows and doors have Dulux Aquanamel® Semi Gloss. The filigree and stained glass windows called for Master Painters, and the house finished white.
This exterior house painting Remuera project covered a 1910s villa in Remuera. The House Painters used Dulux products throughout. Some areas were hard to reach, so the work ran from scaffolding. Builders, roofers and other tradespeople were on site at the same time, and the job still finished within budget and on time.

Exterior house painting Remuera: what a 1910s villa needs
Houses from this era carry a lot of timber detail, and many have had several coats of paint over the decades. Weatherboards, fascia, soffits, windows, doors and decorative work each need their own preparation before a topcoat goes on. This villa also had filigree and stained glass windows, which need slow hand work around the glass and the fretwork.
Every exterior house painting job starts with an in-person quote from The House Painters. The quote is fixed-price and itemised, and the same person who quotes the job manages it from start to finish. Older homes get the same treatment across our villa house painting and heritage home painting work.
The House Painters prepare more than the minimum on every exterior. On an older home, preparation decides how long the paint lasts, so washing, dust containment and safe access come before any topcoat.
Working around builders and roofers
Builders, roofers and other tradespeople were working on the house during the repaint. The painters reached the high and awkward areas from scaffolding and contained dust and debris as they went. The job still finished within the customer’s budget and timeframe.
PRODUCTS USED ON THIS REMUERA VILLA
Fascia, Soffits & Weatherboards
Dulux Weathershield® gives a tough, hard-wearing finish with protection from all weather conditions. Dulux formulates it with MaxiFlex™ Technology so the paint expands and contracts with the surface.
- Long-life protection from all weather conditions
- Eco Choice Aotearoa approved
- Exclusive MaxiFlex™ formulation
- Made in New Zealand
Windows & Doors
Dulux Aquanamel® Semi Gloss is a non-yellowing, water-based interior and exterior acrylic enamel. It dries to a glossy, durable, chip-resistant finish, and you can use it in most places where painters once used oil-based enamels, with the shorter drying time of an acrylic.
- Long-life protection from all weather conditions
- Eco Choice Aotearoa approved
- Chip-resistant
- Non-yellowing finish
- Made in New Zealand
Why these two products on a 1910s villa
Timber weatherboards, fascia and soffits move as they heat up, cool down and take on moisture. Weathershield Low Sheen suits them because the MaxiFlex film moves with the timber. Windows and doors get opened, closed and knocked, so they got Aquanamel Semi Gloss for its harder, chip-resistant finish that stays white without yellowing.
Exterior house painting Remuera: common questions
How long does an exterior repaint last on a villa?
A well-prepared exterior repaint typically lasts 7 to 10 years before it needs a recoat. Preparation does most of the work in that number.
Is the quote a fixed price?
Yes. Every quote from The House Painters is fixed-price and itemised, so you can see what each part of the house costs before work starts.
Who runs the job day to day?
The same person who quotes the job manages it from start to finish. On this villa that meant planning the painting around the builders, roofers and other trades on site.
Which paint brands do you use?
The House Painters work with Dulux and Resene systems. This Remuera villa used Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen on the weatherboards, fascia and soffits, and Dulux Aquanamel Semi Gloss on the windows and doors.
Can you paint around filigree and stained glass?
Yes. This villa had both. Fretwork and leaded glass take slower brush work than plain weatherboards, and the glass needs protecting while the frames are painted.
Are you Registered Master Painters?
Yes. The House Painters is a Registered Master Painters business with over 25 years painting Auckland homes.
