Services / Exterior Painting / Orange
Murrays Painting handle exterior house painting across Orange, NSW 2800, on weatherboard, brick, render, fibro and modern cladding. The process is pressure wash, scrape, sand, fill and prime before any topcoat, because an exterior job in Orange lives or dies on preparation rather than product. The city sits at 862 metres, which means frost across five to eight months of the year, summer days over 35 degrees and UV that punishes a poorly prepared surface within a couple of seasons. We time exterior work around the weather rather than the diary, use Dulux exterior systems rated for those conditions, and John Murray inspects at preparation stage. Orange is home base so there is no travel fee, quotes are free, and every exterior job carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Why people in Orange choose Murrays Painting
Over 50 years in the trade
Over fifty years in the trade. There is very little John has not already seen go wrong on a house, which is mostly what experience buys you.
John quotes it and supervises it
He prices the job himself and checks the preparation before a topcoat goes on, with Ron running the crew on site. The same two people from the quote to the last coat.
Preparation comes first
Most of the work happens before any colour appears. Sanding, filling, priming and sealing are what decide whether the finish lasts three years or fifteen.
Dulux and Porters materials
Premium paint on every job, with oil-based sealers on woodwork. Cheaper products cost less on the invoice and more on the repaint.
12-month workmanship guarantee
Twelve months on labour and materials. If something is not right in that time, John comes back and sorts it out.
Licensed, insured, reviewed
NSW licence 155166C, public liability and workers compensation, and a five star rating on Google from customers across the Central West.

Why timing matters more here than almost anywhere
Most exterior paint needs the surface to stay above a minimum temperature while it cures, and in Orange that is the whole problem. A wall painted late on a clear autumn afternoon can drop below curing temperature before midnight. The film never forms properly, and the failure does not appear for a year or two, by which time nobody connects it to the day it went on. We work exteriors inside the reliable window and say no to jobs pushed into the frost rather than take the money and hope.
Weatherboard, and what the frost does to it
Timber cladding is everywhere across Orange and it moves constantly with the temperature swing between night and day. That movement opens joints, lifts the old film at the board edges, and lets water sit where you cannot see it. Preparation on a weatherboard exterior here means going after the edges and end grain properly, priming bare timber the same day it is exposed, and replacing anything already gone rather than filling over it.
High UV at elevation
The sun at 862 metres is harder on paint than at sea level, and north and west walls fade years ahead of the rest of the house. Colour choice matters more than people expect. Deep and highly saturated colours on a west-facing wall will visibly shift long before the film itself fails, which is worth knowing before it is on the house rather than after.

The final magnificent result of their many months of labour are a reflection of their understanding and pride for their profession.

FAQ
Questions we get in Orange
If your question is not here, call John directly. He would rather have a conversation than send you to a page.
Realistically late spring through to early autumn. Frost is the limiting factor, not rain. If a surface drops below curing temperature overnight the paint will not form a proper film, so we schedule around that window rather than through it.
Longer than most people fear if it was prepared properly, and far shorter if it was not. A well prepared exterior in these conditions should hold up for a decade or more. A job that skipped preparation can start failing inside two or three years.
We handle fascia, barge boards, gutters and downpipes as part of an exterior repaint. Tell us what you need at the quote and we will price it clearly rather than leaving it vague.
