Howth is one of the most characterful corners of Co. Dublin — a working fishing harbour, protected heritage streets and headland homes that all take a battering from the salt-laden air off Dublin Bay. Painting and decorating out here asks for more than a fresh coat of colour, and that is exactly where Original Dublin Painter comes in. Led by Alex, our team brings 20+ years’ experience to every home and business in Howth, backed by a 4.9★ rating from 137 Google reviews and a promise that the job is done properly, tidily and on time.

Why locals in Howth choose us

Homeowners around Howth Village, Sutton and the harbour keep coming back — and recommending us to their neighbours — for a few simple reasons:

  • Tidy, respectful work. We dust-sheet, mask and protect your space, then take every scrap of waste with us. Reviewers regularly mention how clean and neat we leave a house.
  • Punctual and professional. We arrive when we say we will, work hard through the day, and keep you in the loop from quote to final coat.
  • Honest colour advice. Choosing shades for a bright, coastal room is different from a north-facing hallway — Alex is happy to guide you.
  • Fair, transparent quotes. Every free, no-obligation on-site quote is clear and detailed, with two coats as standard and no surprises at the end.
  • Fully guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed in writing, so you can book with confidence.

Painting services in Howth

Whatever the property, we cover the full range of work Howth homes and businesses need:

  • Interior painting — walls, ceilings, woodwork and feature rooms, finished to a smooth, even standard.
  • Exterior painting — render, masonry, doors and trim, using weather-resistant coatings chosen for coastal exposure.
  • Whole-house painting — a complete residential repaint, inside and out, coordinated around your schedule.

We also handle kitchen cabinet repaints, furniture spray finishes, plastering and wallpapering, so a single trusted team can take care of the whole project rather than juggling several trades.

Built for Howth’s coastal conditions

Living beside Dublin Bay is a joy, but the sea air is unforgiving on paintwork. Salt spray, high humidity and strong headland winds break down ordinary finishes far faster than they would inland. For exterior work in Howth we specify weather-resistant, marine-grade coatings and quality sealants that lock out moisture and hold their colour, and on harbour-facing and beachfront homes we add extra protective layers where they are needed most. The result is a finish that keeps looking sharp season after season.

Respecting local character and heritage

Howth’s streets are full of history — traditional cottages near Howth Harbour, period homes around Howth Castle, and everything from protected structures to contemporary builds on Howth Head. We are comfortable working sympathetically with heritage colour schemes and older surfaces, matching the area’s character while giving it modern durability. Careful surface preparation — cleaning, scraping, sanding, filling and priming — is where a lasting Howth paint job really begins, and we never cut that corner.
