Paint Condition Assessment
Before any painting begins, you need to understand the condition of your surfaces. This prevents surprises, ensures the right Dulux system is used, and protects your investment.
Why it matters
Skipping this step is where things go wrong
Starting a paint job without assessing the surface is like diagnosing without examining. You might apply the wrong system, miss underlying problems, or spend money on work that won't last. A proper assessment changes all of that.
- Peeling and adhesion failures that appear after the job is done
- Moisture issues that weren't identified before painting
- Wrong coating system specified for the substrate
- Repairs that should have been done first, missed
- Costly remediation work to fix what should have been right
- Painting over hidden problems that only get worse
The Colour Homes approach
How we assess your home
We are a Dulux Accredited Painter. Our assessment covers everything that affects the success of a painting project, so you get clear recommendations and a transparent scope before any commitment.
On-Site Inspection
We walk your property with you and visually assess every painted surface, inside or out, that's part of the project.
Substrate & Moisture Check
We test moisture levels, identify ingress points, and check substrate stability so we know exactly what we're dealing with.
Coating Analysis
Previous coating type, adhesion, film build, and any signs of UV damage, chalking, or oxidation are documented.
Repair & Prep Scope
All structural repairs, cracks, sealant issues, and surface contamination are flagged before any quote is finalised.
Clear Recommendations
You receive a plain-language report with the correct Dulux coating system specified for your home, and an honest scope.

Why it matters
What Dulux Accreditation actually means
Dulux Accreditation is not something you apply for on a website. It is awarded by invitation only, to a tiny number of painters that Dulux trusts to represent the absolute best of their trade.
Colour Homes is one of only 22 Wellington-area painting companies to hold this accreditation, and one of just 2 Kāpiti-based companies. That puts us in a very select group of painters who can deliver true Dulux coating systems, applied exactly as the manufacturer specifies.
