Painting homes in Cork
Cork is known for colourful house fronts, from the terraces stepping up the hill in Cobh to the painted streets of Kinsale, Clonakilty and Bantry, and many owners repaint every few years to keep that look. The damp, mild climate and salty air along the harbour and the West Cork coast are hard on exterior paint and woodwork, so good preparation and masonry paint rated for coastal exposure matter. In Cork City, Victorian houses in Sunday's Well and Ballintemple often have high ceilings, cornicing and sash windows, while estates in Ballincollig, Carrigaline and Mallow need straightforward interior refreshes. When posting, list the rooms or elevations, wall and ceiling heights, the condition of surfaces and whether you have chosen colours.
