Overview
What to expect
Outdoor timber in the Central West takes a beating. Summer UV bleaches it, winter frost cracks the grain, and spring rain finds every gap the previous coat left behind. We strip back to bare timber when the old finish has failed, or sand and recoat when it just needs a refresh. The right product choice matters more than the brand: oil for hardwood decks, acrylic stain for softwood fences, and solid paint for anything that has already been painted.
What is included
- Full strip-back or sand-and-recoat options
- Product selection matched to timber species
- Oils, stains and solid colour systems available
- Pressure washing and timber brightening
- Merbau, spotted gum, treated pine specialists
- Seasonal scheduling for optimal absorption

How it works
From grey and weathered to rich and protected
Timber exposed to the elements needs regular maintenance. Our process restores the natural beauty and seals it against UV, moisture and wear.
Timber assessment
John checks the condition of the timber — grey, splitting, mould, previous coatings — and recommends the right product.
Strip and clean
Old coatings stripped, timber sanded back, mould treated. The surface needs to be clean and open to absorb the stain or oil.
Stain or oil application
Product matched to the timber species and exposure. Applied evenly with the grain, excess wiped, second coat as needed.
Curing and care advice
We let it cure properly before foot traffic returns, and give you a maintenance schedule to keep it looking good.

We do not chase reviews. When clients take the time to leave one, it means something. Here is what they have to say.
Luke Hughes
I've used John and the team at Murrays Painting on several projects now and have always been very happy with their work. The quality is consistently high, they're punctual, reliable and communication is always great. As a builder, it's important to have trades you can trust, and I'd have no hesitation recommending Murrays Painting.
Belinda Scott
John and his team did an amazing job of a very complex project. Their quote was extremely reasonable compared to other quotes received. Their attention to detail throughout the project was impeccable. The work involved a total repaint, both externally and internally, of a very large timber double storey historic residence. The final magnificent result of their many months of labour are a reflection of their understanding and pride for their profession.
