Blackrock is one of south Dublin’s most characterful coastal villages, and its housing reflects that mix — grand Victorian and Edwardian homes on the leafy roads inland, tightly-packed red-brick terraces around the village, mid-century semis toward Newpark and Stillorgan, and modern apartments clustered near Frascati and the seafront. Each of these needs a different hand, and that is exactly why homeowners here call Original Dublin Painter. Alex and the team have spent 20+ years painting and decorating properties just like these, and our 4.9★ rating from 137 Google reviews speaks to the care we take on every job.

Why Blackrock homeowners choose us

Living close to Dublin Bay is lovely, but the salt air and coastal weather are hard on paintwork. Render, timber and window frames on properties near Blackrock Park, Idrone Terrace and the Rock Road take a battering, so surface prep and the right exterior systems matter enormously. We know which coatings hold up here and which ones peel by the second winter.

Locals keep coming back because we are:

  • Tidy and clean — dust sheets down, edges cut sharp, and your home left spotless each evening.
  • Punctual and professional — we turn up when we say we will and keep you posted throughout.
  • Great with colour — genuinely helpful advice on heritage tones for period homes or bright, contemporary schemes for newer builds.
  • Fair and upfront — every job comes with a free, no-obligation on-site quote and is fully guaranteed.

What we paint in Blackrock

Whether it is a single room refresh or a whole-home transformation, we cover it all:

  • Interior painting — walls, ceilings, hallways, stairwells, ornate cornicing and the tall, awkward returns common in Blackrock’s older houses.
  • Exterior painting — render, pebbledash, front doors, soffits, fascias and railings, all prepped to stand up to coastal weather.
  • Full house painting — a coordinated interior-and-exterior package for owners doing a full refresh, a pre-sale spruce-up or settling into a new home.

We also handle kitchen cabinet respraying, feature walls and decorative finishes when a room needs something special.

Local knowledge that shows

Because we work across this whole part of south Dublin, we understand the practical side of decorating in a busy village. Parking near Main Street and the Frascati Shopping Centre can be tight, so we plan access and materials carefully to keep disruption to a minimum for you and your neighbours. We regularly work in the surrounding areas too — Booterstown, Monkstown, Stillorgan, Mount Merrion and Deansgrange — so we know these streets and the housing stock well.

Every period feature, from original sash windows near Blackrock College to timber panelling in the older terraces, gets the patient preparation it deserves. That attention is what turns a good paint job into one that still looks fresh years later.
