Protect and enhance your home's entrance with climate-tough door painting solutions designed specifically for the Kimberley's demanding conditions.
At Pittard Painting, we understand that exterior doors in Derby face some of the harshest conditions in Australia. The Kimberley's intense UV radiation, extreme temperature fluctuations between day and night, monsoonal humidity, and salt-laden coastal winds create a perfect storm of challenges for any painted surface. Homeowners across Derby, from properties near the historic Derby Jetty to homes in the newer residential areas, commonly experience peeling, cracking, and fading on their exterior doors within just a few seasons when standard painting products and methods are used.
That's why we specialise in exterior door painting in Derby, WA using climate-specific solutions that are engineered to withstand these exact conditions. Your front door is more than just an entrance, it's the focal point of your home's curb appeal and your first line of defence against the elements. Whether you're dealing with a weathered timber door that's lost its lustre, a steel door showing signs of rust, or simply want to refresh your home's appearance with a new colour, Pittard Painting delivers finishes that combine beauty with exceptional durability.
As a fully licensed, insured, and police-checked local team, we bring years of Kimberley painting experience to every project. We use only premium paint products specifically selected for tropical climates, combined with meticulous surface preparation that ensures long-lasting adhesion and protection. Every exterior door painting project is backed by our comprehensive satisfaction guarantee and 100% clean site policy, giving Derby homeowners complete confidence in the results.


Pittard Painting's exterior door painting service begins with a thorough assessment of the door's current condition, material type, and exposure to the elements. Whether working with timber, steel, fibreglass, or composite doors, the team selects the appropriate paint systems and preparation methods to ensure optimal results for Derby's Kimberley climate.

Surface preparation is where quality door painting truly begins. The team thoroughly cleans each door to remove dirt, salt residue, and any contaminants that could compromise paint adhesion. For timber doors, which are the most common type of exterior door in Derby homes, this includes sanding to create the ideal surface profile, filling any cracks or imperfections with premium wood fillers, and addressing any visible damage or deterioration.

The painting process involves multiple coats of premium, UV-resistant paint products designed for extreme weather conditions. Pittard Painting uses high-quality primers that seal and protect the substrate, followed by topcoats formulated to resist intense sun, high humidity levels, and temperature fluctuations. The team carefully protects surrounding areas, removes or masks hardware as needed, and ensures proper drying time between coats, a critical factor in humid climates.

Colour consultation is available to help homeowners select shades that complement their home's architectural style and provide practical benefits. Lighter colours can help reflect heat and reduce surface temperatures, while darker colours create visual impact. The team provides advice based on experience about which colours and finishes, from high-gloss to satin, may perform well in local conditions. This expertise is particularly valuable for our window frame painting services in Derby, where colour choice affects both heat absorption and long-term durability.

Every project concludes with a thorough site cleanup, careful inspection, and the provision of maintenance guidelines. Pittard Painting's 100% clean site policy means homeowners can enjoy their refreshed entrance without mess or hassle, while the comprehensive satisfaction guarantee ensures confidence in the workmanship and results.

Pittard Painting serves Derby and the wider Kimberley region with exterior door painting services designed for the area's climate. The team works on properties throughout Derby and understands the importance of using appropriate materials and techniques for the region's environmental conditions.

Derby's environmental challenges require careful consideration when painting exterior doors. The Kimberley region experiences high temperatures during the dry season, elevated humidity during the wet season, strong UV radiation, and coastal wind exposure.

Pittard Painting operates as a fully licensed and insured business, and all team members are police-checked. This provides homeowners with assurance and demonstrates the company's commitment to professional service standards, clear communication, and respectful treatment of properties throughout every project.

As a local business, Pittard Painting offers free on-site consultations throughout Derby and surrounding areas.

This consultation-based approach helps ensure homeowners receive appropriate solutions for their needs.
For Derby's Kimberley climate, Pittard Painting recommends premium paint systems specifically formulated for extreme weather conditions. These typically include UV-resistant topcoats and appropriate primers for the door material. For timber doors, which are most common in the region, high-quality acrylic or oil-based enamels with UV inhibitors are used to provide protection against intense sun, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. The specific products are selected based on the door material, exposure level, and the homeowner's preferences.
Derby's Kimberley climate presents several challenges for exterior door paint. The region experiences high temperatures and intense UV radiation during the dry season, elevated humidity during the wet season, and exposure to salt-laden coastal winds. These conditions can cause standard paint to fade, peel, crack, or blister if not properly selected and applied. This is why Pittard Painting uses climate-appropriate products and thorough surface preparation to help ensure better long-term performance.
While exterior door painting can be performed during various times of the year, weather conditions and humidity levels are important factors that affect paint application and curing. High humidity can impact drying times and paint performance. Pittard Painting monitors weather conditions carefully and will advise homeowners on the most suitable timing for their specific project. In some cases, scheduling during the dry season may be recommended for optimal results.
Proper preparation is essential for a quality finish. The process typically includes thorough cleaning to remove dirt, dust, and contaminants, sanding to create a suitable surface for paint adhesion, filling any cracks or imperfections, and addressing any damage or deterioration. For metal doors, rust removal and appropriate priming are important steps. The extent of preparation depends on the door's current condition, material, and previous paint history. Pittard Painting assesses each door individually during the consultation to determine the necessary preparation work.
In most cases, exterior doors can be painted while still hung, which is more convenient and cost-effective. However, there are situations where removing the door may be beneficial, such as when extensive repair work is needed, when weather conditions are challenging, or when a more controlled painting environment would produce better results. Pittard Painting evaluates each project during the free on-site consultation and recommends the most appropriate approach based on the door's condition and circumstances.
