Painters in Hermanus

A fresh coat of paint is the fastest way to update your home… or any building for the matter. Whether you’re refreshing with the same colour or going for something entirely different, new paint will make a place feel clean, current and looked after. Hermanus painters are ready to help you update the look of your home, restaurant, tourist accommodation, shop or gallery.

The experts recommend that you should give the exterior of a building a fresh coat of paint once a year. This helps to ensure that it doesn’t look like it’s been ravaged by the weather. In Hermanus, buildings have to contend with winter storms, harsh summer sun and salt spray off the ocean. All of these can damage the actual building, so by painting every year you can also inspect for cracks or damp that could cause problems down the line. Catching these potential issues early can save a lot of time and money later.

The interior of a building doesn’t have to be repainted as often as the exterior, except in rooms where there is lots of moisture. Bathrooms and kitchens should be inspected for mould or damp spots annually. This way you can clean up anything that’s forming and add a layer of damp proofing to your painting.

When it comes to choosing your colour scheme, Hermanus has a wealth of inspiration. With such beautiful surroundings, there’s sure to be something that will give you an idea. Lovely earthy tones can be matched to the mountains that surround the town. The indigenous fynbos that grows in the area are a source of gorgeous, vibrant colour inspiration – including pinks, purples, yellows and oranges. Ocean blue and beach white from the coastline are also both beautiful options for a place in Hermanus.

With Hermanus being such a vibrant tourist destination, it’s essential that those running guest accommodation, shops and restaurants keep their buildings looking tip top. This will help you to bring in the tourists and keep them coming back time and again. There are two big seasons for tourists in the Overberg region that you should be gearing up for – the peak of whale watching season in the late winter and early spring as well as the height of summer. However, the town and the surrounding areas are actually popular all year round for both local and international visitors.

Partner with Hermanus painters to ensure that your building looks good at any time of the year.
