George notes on tools & supplies
Paint shops in George town and the industrial area stock mould wash, wood sealers, deck oils and enamels as well as wall and roof paint, since timber work is so common here. Contractors buy sandpaper, scrapers and quality synthetic brushes for timber in bulk. Pressure washers for cleaning walls and roofs can be hired locally. Larger orders of membranes or spray equipment sometimes come in from Mossel Bay or further.
What gets painted in George
George lies below the Outeniqua Mountains on the Garden Route, where rain can fall in any season and the air stays humid. That makes mildew, green algae on south walls and rotting timber the main painting problems here. Many homes have timber decks, fascias, window frames and cladding that need regular sealing or enamel, and holiday houses in Wilderness and Herold's Bay face salt air off the sea. In town there are older plastered houses, newer estates such as those around Blanco and the golf estates, and growing suburbs in Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp. Homeowners, retirees, holiday home owners and estate managers ask for painters, waterproofing and roof painting most.
The requests we see from George usually come from:
- Homeowners: fresh gloss on front doors, window frames and the burglar bars
- Body corporates and estates: matching enamel on all unit doors, gates and balcony railings in the estate
- Landlords and sellers: washable enamel on doors and skirtings that take knocks from tenants
Local tips for George
Popular here: mildew treatment, timber sealing and exterior repaints for damp Garden Route homes. Ask each painter or supplier about this: ask the painter to wash off mould and algae with a fungicide before the first coat. Where they work from: painters and paint shops in George town, the George industrial area and Blanco.
Around George the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means fresh gloss on front doors, window frames and the burglar bars. Before you agree to anything: sand to a dull finish, prime bare metal. Keep in mind: timber decks and fascias in Wilderness, salty walls at Herold's Bay, damp south walls.
