Do you handle both the inside and the outside?

Yes. We paint the new interior walls, ceilings, doors and trim, and we paint the new exterior cladding to match the existing house. Tying both together is what makes an extension look original rather than bolted on.

The old paint has faded. Will the new section stand out?

Often the original has faded from years of Canterbury sun, so an exact tint match can still look slightly off against weathered paint. We talk you through the options, from matching the new work to blending it, or repainting a full elevation so everything is even.

Do you work in with the builder doing the extension?

Yes. We coordinate with your builder on timing, come in once the new linework and cladding are ready, and fit around the other trades so we are not holding up your handover.

Can you paint new cladding and weatherboard on the extension?

Yes. New fibre cement, weatherboard and plaster all get the right primer and weatherproof topcoat system, matched to the colour and sheen of the existing exterior.

Painting for Extensions Christchurch | Intext Plaster & Paint

Making a new extension look like it was always there

Intext Plaster & Paint paints home extensions across Christchurch City, Selwyn and Waimakariri so the new part of the house blends straight into the old. The giveaway on a poorly finished extension is the join, a slightly different white on the ceiling, a cladding colour that does not quite line up outside. We chase that detail. We colour-match the new work to your original paint inside and out, prep the new surfaces properly, and finish it so the extension reads as one home, not two.

Reviews

What Christchurch homeowners say

"Intext Plaster & Paint did the painting on our new build in Faringdon. Builder recommended them and I can see why. Clean lines on the ceilings, no overspray on the cedar accents, no callbacks. They were on site exactly when our builder said they would be, which apparently isn't normal."

"Got three quotes for repainting the weatherboard front and side of our place. Intext Plaster & Paint wasn't the cheapest but they walked through the flaking and prep issues no-one else had picked up. Crew turned up when they said, finished a day early, and the finish is genuinely better than what was there originally."

"We had a leak at the back of the house that turned into major exterior repairs, so the interior needed repainting once the builders were done. Intext Plaster & Paint handled the painting and were the easiest part of a stressful process. They flagged a couple of damp patches the builder hadn't fully dried out before they started, and the finish blends in perfectly with the rooms we didn't touch."

FAQs

Common questions.

Yes, that is the whole point of the job. We identify your existing colours, match them with our Resene and Dulux suppliers, and prep the new surfaces so the paint sits the same as the old. Done right, you should not be able to pick where the original house stops and the extension starts.
