Painting and decorating in Donegal
Donegal's exposed Atlantic coast is tough on paintwork, as salt spray, driving rain and strong winds around Bundoran, Dungloe, Killybegs and Inishowen can make exterior paint flake and render stain faster than inland. Many homes are bungalows and farmhouses with large rendered walls, while Letterkenny, Buncrana and Donegal town have more estates and rental properties that need interior repaints between tenants. Exterior work is best planned for drier spells in late spring and summer, and masonry paint suited to coastal conditions lasts longer. When you post a task, give the rooms or wall areas, approximate size, current condition, any damp or flaking, photos, and your preferred colours and timing.
