Painting in Tzaneen
Tzaneen sits in a green, subtropical valley below the Magoebaskloof mountains, and humidity is the biggest enemy of paint here. Summers are hot, wet and sticky, so mould, mildew and algae grow quickly on walls, ceilings and roofs, especially in shaded gardens and on south facing walls. Timber decks and window frames rot if they are not sealed. Homes in town, farmhouses and packhouses on the citrus, avocado, mango and banana farms around Letsitele, and holiday homes in Haenertsburg all need regular attention. Farm managers, homeowners, lodge owners, landlords and schools ask for painters, waterproofing and mould resistant paint most, usually before the summer rains arrive.

The requests we see from Tzaneen usually come from:
- Homeowners: bonding liquid on a chalky old outside wall before a fresh top coat
- Factories, farms and mines: rust-inhibiting primers on steel structures and galvanised roof sheeting
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a primer to cover strong old corporate colours before a new scheme
