Exterior Painting Tips for Bloubergstrand and Table View Homes
By Big Bay Painters - Expert advice from the professionals
Bloubergstrand and Table View share the same West Coast exposure as Big Bay, with beachfront and near-beach properties facing the most intense conditions. This guide covers the specific exterior painting considerations for homes in these popular West Coast suburbs.
Orientation Matters on the West Coast
The aspect of your walls significantly affects how quickly paint deteriorates in Bloubergstrand and Table View. West-facing walls cop the full force of the summer south-easterly and afternoon UV — they typically show the earliest signs of paint failure. South-facing walls face the most wind-driven winter rain. North-facing walls get the most UV. East-facing walls are generally the most protected. When budgeting for a repaint, check west and south-facing walls most carefully — they often need more preparation than other elevations.
New Developments in Table View and Big Bay
Table View and Big Bay have seen significant residential development in recent years, with many newer cluster and estate homes needing their first repaint five to seven years after completion. New plaster on these properties may have been painted with builder-grade products that are now showing their age. A repaint with quality coastal-grade products, properly prepared, sets these homes up for a much longer paint life going forward.
Body Corporate and HOA Considerations
Many developments in Table View, Big Bay and Parklands are sectional title or HOA-managed estates with approved colour schemes. Before any exterior painting, confirm the approved colours with your body corporate or managing agent. Using an unapproved colour can result in being required to repaint at your own cost. See our Big Bay home painting guide for timing and product advice applicable to all West Coast properties.
