The common ones.

Are quotes free?

Yes. Send through the job, the suburb and a few photos if you have them, and Kyle will get back to you with a free quote.

Which areas do you cover?

The North West Coast of Tasmania, based out of Ulverstone. That covers Penguin, Turners Beach, Devonport, Latrobe, Port Sorell, Burnie, Somerset, Wynyard and the towns in between.

Do you work with builders on new homes?

Yes. New builds are a big part of the work. The usual order is a spray-out and undercoat before fit-out, then final coats once the fit-out is done.

What paint do you use?

Premium trade paint chosen for the surface. Recent jobs have used Haymes, including Casper White Quarter throughout a new build, and Dulux on spray-finished doors.

Can you spray doors?

Yes. Doors, front doors and VJ panelling can be spray finished. Most of the time goes into prep, which is what gives a sprayed door its smooth, even look.

Do you take on small jobs?

Yes. A single room, a front door or a garage floor is fine. Big or small, get in touch.

How do I get a quote?

Call Kyle on 0488 197 238, email a1finefinishingpainting@gmail.com, send a message on Instagram or use the quote form. A few photos and the suburb are plenty to start with.

Do you paint exteriors?

Yes: weatherboard, cladding, fascia and deck coatings, booked for the drier months so the paint can cure properly.

By service.

All services

New build painting

Do you work directly for builders?

Yes. Recent new builds were done for local builders. Owner-builders are welcome too.

When should the painter come in on a new build?

Once the plaster is finished and before fit-out for the spray-out and undercoat, then again after fit-out for the finish coats.

Interior repaints

Can you paint white over a dark colour?

Yes. It takes more coats than a like-for-like colour, and the quote allows for that up front.

Do you paint single rooms?

Yes. Big or small, a single room is fine.

Exterior painting

When is the best time to paint an exterior?

The longer, drier days from spring onwards. Kyle will talk through timing when quoting.

Do you coat decks?

Yes, deck coatings are part of the exterior work.

Spray finishing

Is spraying better than brushing a door?

A properly prepped sprayed door has no brush marks or roller texture, just an even finish edge to edge.
