X Deco — Licensed painting and protective coating specialists serving Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and the Illawarra.
Before any coating goes on, everything has to come off. Dirt, mould, lichen, salt deposits and loose paint must be thoroughly removed before painting begins. X Deco provides professional pressure washing as both a standalone exterior cleaning service and as the critical first step of every painting and protective coating project.
We use professional hot and cold pressure washing equipment with appropriate cleaning agents for different surface types — achieving thorough cleaning without damaging render, brickwork or coatings.
Painting over a dirty, mouldy or contaminated surface is one of the leading causes of premature paint failure. Even the best coating system will fail if applied over a surface that hasn't been properly cleaned and prepared.
X Deco always pressure washes before any exterior painting or protective coating project. It is not optional — it is part of doing the job properly.
Every X Deco job is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty covering all defects. The premium coating systems we specify carry manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years.
But our best warranty is our process. With the right assessment, correct surface preparation and proper product specification, we aim to eliminate problems before they happen. We do the job right the first time — which means you should never need to chase us for warranty work.
