Choosing the right exterior paint

Different buildings and conditions demand different coatings. We only use trusted, professional-grade brands to ensure durability and colour retention.

High UV resistance coatings for New Zealand sun

Hard-wearing enamel for trims and high-contact areas

Flexible acrylics to handle weather movement

Mould and mildew-resistant paints for damp or shaded locations

Oils & Wood Stains for special timber finishes

Surface preparation is everything

We don’t paint over problems — we solve them first.

Starting fresh

Our team thoroughly inspects the condition of all external surfaces before painting. Where needed, we can assist with:

  • Exterior washing and moss & mould removal.  Book a moss and lichen treatment before you paint
  • Minor surface repairs or patching
  • Sealing water-damaged areas or preparing for repaint

Certified Resene Eco.Decorator

AR Plus is a certified Resene Eco.Decorator — a recognised standard for quality, sustainability, and safe painting practices. This certification reflects our approach to every exterior project, from product selection to waste disposal and site cleanliness.  It’s one more way we bring confidence, care, and long-term performance to your exterior surfaces.

  • We use Resene Environmental Choice-approved paints that are low in VOCs and designed to perform in New Zealand’s harsh outdoor conditions.
  • Our team adheres to sustainable painting methods and maintains clean and well-organised worksites.
  • Resene independently audits our work to ensure it meets their high expectations for consistency and quality.

Concerned About Asbestos?

Exterior surfaces — especially cladding, soffits, and roofing materials from before the mid-1980s — may contain asbestos. Attempting DIY prep work like water blasting, sanding, or scraping paint could disturb those fibres and release them into the air or surrounding soil.

Do not proceed with prep work if you're unsure of the materials. It’s not worth the health risk.

AR Plus can assist with assessing risk and referring you for testing if needed. If asbestos is confirmed, we are licensed to remove it before painting begins — safely and legally.
