Painting in Parkes

Why hire a local painter for Parkes?

Parkes is a busy regional centre about an hour west of Orange, known to most Australians for the Dish, the CSIRO radio telescope that relayed the Apollo 11 moonwalk broadcast. The main street has a strong heritage character with verandah-post shopfronts, and the Parkes Shire Council offices and post office are handsome examples of early twentieth century civic architecture. The town comes alive each January for the Elvis Festival, which has put Parkes on the cultural map and brought investment into the streetscape. Housing ranges from turn-of-the-century weatherboard and brick cottages in the older residential streets to modern project homes in the estates on the edges of town. Parkes sits on the flat western plains, lower than Orange, which means hotter summers, stronger UV exposure and less frost. That climate profile changes the paint system we recommend. We quote travel and accommodation for Parkes projects and adjust our preparation and product approach to suit the local conditions.
