Why Choose Wilcote Cape Town?

25+ Years of Proven Excellence

We’ve perfected our craft through thousands of projects across Cape Town — from luxury estates to heritage homes to commercial complexes.

No Subcontractors – Only Our Trained Team

Every painter on your project is a full-time Wilcote employee. That means consistent quality, accountability, and professionalism.

Premium, Climate-Specific Materials

We use high-performance paints and coatings designed for Cape Town’s salty air, strong sun, and heavy rains — backed by extended warranties of up to 15 years.

Comprehensive Prep Work (Not Just Paint)

Unlike contractors who paint over cracks and damp, we repair, waterproof, and prime first. This makes your paint job last 50% longer.

Fully Insured & Compliant

With R5 million public liability insurance and full Department of Labour compliance, your property is fully protected.

Our Professional Painting Process

Interior Painting – Lasting Beauty Indoors

Crack Repairs & Waterproofing: We open all cracks, clean them, fill with professional-grade compounds, and waterproof damp-prone areas.
Priming & Sanding: Surfaces are primed and sanded smooth for perfect adhesion.
Precision Painting: 2–3 coats of premium washable paints are applied, with flawless cutting at edges and trims.
The result? Elegant interiors that stay fresh and durable for years.

Exterior Painting – Protection Meets Curb Appeal

Surface Cleaning: Power-washed walls to remove dirt, chalking, and loose paint.
Waterproofing: Parapets, cracks, and joints are sealed with weatherproof coatings.
Durable Finishes: UV-resistant, weatherproof paints designed for Cape Town’s coastal environment.
The result? Exteriors that look stunning and withstand the harshest weather.

Roof Painting – Renew & Protect

High-Pressure Cleaning: Tiles or sheeting stripped clean of dirt, moss, and peeling paint.
Roof Waterproofing: Joints, flashings, and ridges reinforced with membranes and primers.
Protective Coating: UV-stable roof paints, with reflective options to reduce interior heat.
The result? A watertight roof that boosts curb appeal and extends roof life.

FAQs

How long does an interior painting project typically take?

The duration of an interior painting project depends on several factors, including the size of the space, the number of rooms, the complexity of the job, and any required preparation work like repairs or priming. For a single room, the process can usually be completed in 1–2 days. Larger projects, such as painting an entire home, may take several days to a week. Our team works efficiently while maintaining attention to detail, and we’ll provide a clear timeline during your consultation to ensure the project fits your schedule.

Do I need to move my furniture before the painters arrive?

We recommend moving smaller, personal items such as lamps, decorations, and fragile objects before our team arrives. For larger furniture, our painters can help by carefully moving pieces to the center of the room and covering them with protective plastic sheets. We also take steps to safeguard floors, fixtures, and other surfaces to ensure your belongings remain clean and protected throughout the process. If you have specific concerns about moving certain items, let us know during the consultation, and we’ll plan accordingly.

Can you help with color selection?

Absolutely! Choosing the right color for your interior can feel overwhelming, but our team is here to make the process easier. We can provide expert advice on selecting colors that complement your existing decor and lighting. Additionally, we offer virtual or in-person color consultations with professionals to help you explore options and finalize the perfect palette for your home.

Is it safe to stay in my home while it’s being painted?

Yes, in most cases, it’s safe to stay in your home during an interior painting project. Modern, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints minimize fumes and odors, making the process more comfortable. However, we recommend avoiding freshly painted rooms for a few hours after completion to allow the paint to dry and cure properly. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruptions, and we’ll coordinate with you to ensure the process is as seamless as possible.

Do you offer additional services like wall repairs or texture removal?

Yes, we offer complementary services such as patching holes, repairing cracks, removing outdated textures, and priming surfaces to prepare your walls for painting. These services ensure the final result is smooth, flawless, and durable. If you have specific needs, let us know during the consultation, and we’ll include them in the project plan.
