Lucan is one of the fastest-growing corners of west County Dublin, and its housing tells that story at a glance. You have the older period cottages and larger homes clustered around Lucan Village and the River Liffey, wave after wave of 1990s and 2000s estate housing in Esker, Ballyowen, Willsbrook and Foxborough, and the modern townhouses and apartments of Adamstown that are only now reaching the age where they need their first proper repaint. Whichever of those your home falls into, Original Dublin Painter has almost certainly worked on one just like it nearby.

Led by Alex, with over 20 years’ experience, we’re a service-area business covering all of Co. Dublin, and Lucan is a regular stop on the route. Our reputation was built on the things homeowners here actually care about: turning up when we say we will, keeping the site tidy and dust-sheeted, offering honest colour advice rather than guesswork, and leaving a finish that’s fully guaranteed. That’s a big part of why we’re rated 4.9★ from 159 Google reviews.

Painting services we offer in Lucan

  • Interior painting — walls, ceilings, hallways, stairwells and that awkward high landing so common in Lucan’s semi-detached estate homes. Skirting, doors and architraves brushed or sprayed to a clean, hard-wearing finish.
  • Exterior painting — repainting pebbledash, render and masonry that has weathered a decade or two of west-Dublin rain, plus fascias, soffits, gutters and front doors to lift the whole kerb appeal.
  • Full house painting — inside and out, ideal when you’re moving in, moving on, or finally tackling a home that hasn’t been touched since it was built.
  • Kitchen cabinet respraying — a factory-smooth cabinet respray is a favourite in the fitted-kitchen estates around Lucan, giving tired units a new lease of life for a fraction of a full replacement.

Local jobs we know well

A lot of what we do in Lucan is bringing 20 to 30-year-old estate homes back to life — a fresh, neutral repaint before a sale, a bold new feature colour for a young family settling in, or a top-to-bottom refresh of a rental between tenants. In Adamstown and the newer Griffeen developments we handle plenty of snag-list touch-ups and first repaints where the builder’s flat white has long since scuffed. Older properties near the village often need a more careful hand: sound preparation, filling and priming before a single top coat goes on.

Because we’re already out this side of the city, we cover the neighbouring areas just as easily — Palmerstown, Clondalkin, Chapelizod, and across the Kildare border into Leixlip and Celbridge. If you’re near Liffey Valley or the Griffeen Valley Park end of Lucan, we’re only minutes away.

Painters in Adamstown

Adamstown was built from the mid-2000s on, around the railway station, and most of it is townhouses, duplexes and apartments. That brings a few things that are particular to the area:

  • First proper repaint. A lot of homes still have the builder’s original paint on the walls. It marks easily and doesn’t wash, so the first repaint in a good-quality washable finish makes a real difference in halls and kids’ rooms.
  • Settlement cracks. Hairline cracks along plasterboard joints, around door frames and where walls meet ceilings are normal in newer houses. We fill, sand and spot-prime them so they don’t show through the new paint.
  • Management company rules. In managed developments, exterior colours, front doors and sometimes railings are often set by the owners’ management company. Check before you change anything outside, and we’ll match the existing colours if they have to stay the same.
