Swords has grown from a historic market town into one of the biggest towns in the country, and its housing stock tells that story. You’ll find snug older terraces near Seatown and the Main Street, 1970s and ’80s semi-detached estates in River Valley, Brackenstown and Rathbeale, and rows of newer family homes and apartments in Applewood, Boroimhe, Holywell and Drynam. Whatever era your home belongs to, Original Dublin Painter knows how to prep and paint it properly — and how to leave your house cleaner than we found it.

Why homeowners in Swords choose us

Alex, our owner and lead painter, has spent 20+ years decorating homes right across north County Dublin. That experience shows up in the details: neatly cut-in edges, dust sheets over every floor, and quiet, respectful crews who treat your home like their own. We’re rated 4.9★ from 137 Google reviews, and the words that come up again and again are tidy, punctual and professional — the things that actually matter when someone is working inside your house.

Every job is fully guaranteed, and every quote is free, on-site and no-obligation. We’ll walk the rooms with you, give honest colour advice, and put a fair, itemised price in writing — no vague estimates, no surprises on the final bill.

Painting & decorating services in Swords

  • Interior painting — walls, ceilings, woodwork, hallways and stairwells, with proper filling and sanding before a brush ever touches the wall.
  • Exterior painting — render, pebbledash, soffits, fascias and front doors. Swords sits close to the coast, so wind-driven rain gives north-Dublin exteriors a hard time — the right prep and weatherproof coatings keep them looking fresh for years.
  • Full house painting — whole-home repaints for families moving in, landlords turning around a rental, or anyone ready to refresh tired décor from top to bottom.

We also handle the finishing touches that make a room feel finished: feature walls, kitchen and bedroom updates, and crisp new colour schemes based on genuine advice about what suits your light and your space.
