Malahide is one of North Dublin’s most sought-after coastal towns, and the housing shows it — elegant Victorian and Edwardian homes near the village, sprawling detached properties along the estuary, and modern developments like Robswall and Seamount that have grown up around the DART line. Whatever era your home belongs to, Original Dublin Painter has the experience to finish it properly. Led by Alex, with 20+ years working across Co. Dublin, we’re the painters and decorators Malahide homeowners call when they want the job done tidily, on time, and to a standard that lasts.
Why Malahide homeowners choose us
Living beside the sea looks wonderful, but it’s tough on paintwork. Salt-laden wind strips exterior render, timber and window frames far faster than it does inland, so a sloppy exterior job here shows its age within a season or two. We know how the coast behaves, and we spec the right prep and coatings so your finish holds up against everything the Broadmeadow Estuary throws at it.
Just as important, we respect your home while we’re in it. Dust sheets down, edges cut clean, and everything left spotless at the end of each day — the tidiness and professionalism locals mention again and again is exactly why we’re rated 4.9 stars across 137 Google reviews. Every job is fully guaranteed, and your quote is always free, on-site and no-obligation.
What we paint in Malahide
We cover the full range of painting and decorating for homes across the town:
- Interior painting — living rooms, hallways, bedrooms and stairwells, with proper filling and colour advice. Alex is happy to help you settle on the right shade, whether you’re brightening a period reception room or warming up an open-plan new-build.
- Exterior painting — render, soffits, fascias, front doors and railings finished with coastal-grade products that stand up to sea air and Irish weather.
- Full house painting — top-to-bottom repaints for a fresh move-in or a house going on the market, coordinated around your schedule so a busy family home is never turned upside down.
We also handle woodwork, feature walls, kitchen and cabinet refreshes, and the tricky detail work that older Malahide homes tend to need.
Local knowledge that shows in the finish
The character homes around Main Street and the Diamond often carry decades of layered paint, ornate cornicing and original sash windows — all of which reward patient preparation rather than a quick roller pass. Out at the newer estates near the Marina and Robswall, it’s more about matching developer colours cleanly and getting a crisp, modern finish. We treat each accordingly.
Malahide sits at the heart of the areas we serve, so we’re rarely far away. We regularly work in neighbouring Portmarnock, Kinsealy, Swords, Donabate and across the water in Howth, which means quick site visits and reliable timekeeping without the delays of a firm coming from the far side of the city.
