Dublin Deco Painting works throughout Dublin City Centre, covering Dublin 1 and Dublin 2 and the streets around Trinity College, St Stephen’s Green and Grafton Street. The city centre mixes period Georgian properties with modern apartments and busy commercial units, and each needs a slightly different approach.
For older buildings we take care with original features — sash windows, cornicing and panelled doors — while modern apartments and offices often call for quick, low-disruption turnarounds. We handle parking, access and tight schedules that come with working in a busy city centre.
Whether you are a homeowner, landlord or business, we provide clean, professional interior and exterior painting close to home.
Areas we cover in the city centre
We paint and decorate right across central Dublin — Dublin 1, 2, 4, 6, 6W and 8 — including Portobello, Rathmines, Ranelagh, Rathgar, Harold’s Cross, Ballsbridge, Sandymount, Ringsend, Irishtown, Cabra, Stoneybatter, Broadstone, Rialto, Milltown and Churchtown. Whether it’s a Georgian townhouse, a city apartment or a retail unit, we work around city-centre access and parking.
Property types we paint here
The painters Dublin city centre relies on need to cope with a real mix of buildings, often on the same street. We work on all of them:
- Georgian and period homes — the townhouses around Fitzwilliam Square, Merrion Square and the Dublin 2 and Dublin 6 conservation areas. These need a careful hand with original sash windows, cornicing, ceiling roses and panelled doors, and the right paint systems for old plaster and timber.
- Apartments and flats — from converted Georgian buildings to modern blocks in the docklands and Dublin 1. As apartment painters in Dublin we keep the job tidy in tight spaces, protect floors and shared hallways, and finish on schedule.
- Offices and workspaces — repaints that often run in the evening or at weekends to keep your business moving.
- Retail and hospitality — shopfronts, cafés, bars and restaurants across Dublin 2 and Temple Bar that need a quick, clean turnaround between trading hours.
Dublin Deco Painting has been doing this kind of city painting since 2017, and we’re fully insured for both residential and commercial work.
Working in the city centre
City-centre jobs come with their own challenges, and we plan for them so the work doesn’t disrupt your day:
- Access and parking — we sort out loading, parking and permits in advance, including the tight one-way streets and pedestrianised areas around Grafton Street and Temple Bar.
- Listed and period buildings — many properties in Dublin 1, 2, 4 and 6 sit in conservation areas. We use breathable, appropriate finishes on old fabric and take care of features that can’t be replaced.
- Low disruption — dust sheets down, surfaces protected, and a tidy clean-up at the end of each day. For occupied homes, busy offices and trading shops we work in stages and around your hours.
- Realistic timelines — a single city apartment is usually a day or two; a full Georgian house or a commercial fit-out takes longer. We give you a fixed quote and a clear schedule before we start, with no surprises.
