Dublin Deco Painting covers North County Dublin, including Clontarf, Swords, Malahide, Howth and the wider suburbs north of the city. The area ranges from coastal homes facing the sea to large family houses, new developments and busy commercial premises.
We provide full interior and exterior painting and decorating, matching the approach to each property — extra weather protection for exposed coastal homes, low-disruption schedules for offices and shops, and careful work in established family neighbourhoods.
Whether you need a room refreshed, a full house repainted or ongoing maintenance for a business, we bring a tidy, professional service to North Dublin.

Homes and properties in North Dublin
North County Dublin is a mix of property types, and each one needs a slightly different approach. As painters in North Dublin we work on all of them:
- Coastal homes in Howth, Sutton, Malahide, Portmarnock and Skerries — often older houses that take the full force of the sea air and need hard-wearing exterior coatings.
- New developments around Swords, Ongar, Tyrrelstown and Castleknock — fresh plaster, feature walls and full-house repaints when owners want to put their own stamp on a new build.
- Established family houses in Clontarf, Raheny, Killester and Blanchardstown — interiors that get plenty of wear and need a clean, tidy refresh between busy family life.
- Commercial premises — offices, shops and units around Swords and the Blanchardstown area that want low-disruption work scheduled around opening hours.
Whatever the property, the job is the same: dust sheets down, surfaces prepped properly and a clean finish at a fixed price. For interiors we handle everything from a single room to a whole house — see our interior painting service — and outside we cover walls, render, soffits, fascias and railings under exterior painting.
Coastal and weather considerations
A lot of North Dublin sits right on the coast, and that changes how an exterior job should be done. Homes in Howth, Malahide and Skerries are exposed to salt air, wind-driven rain and strong sun off the water — all of which wear paint down faster than on a sheltered inland street.
For exposed coastal homes we use exterior products built to handle damp and salt, prep back any flaking or weathered areas, and pick a dry spell so coatings cure properly. It is the same coastal know-how we bring to our work down in Dún Laoghaire. The result is an exterior that holds its colour and keeps the weather out for longer, rather than one that needs redoing after a couple of seasons.

Yes. We regularly work in Swords, Malahide, Howth, Clontarf, Skerries and the surrounding suburbs, and across the rest of Fingal. If you are unsure whether we reach your area, just ask when you get in touch.
Can you paint coastal homes that take a battering from the weather?
We do this often. For exposed homes in Howth, Malahide and Skerries we use exterior products suited to salt air and damp, with proper preparation so the finish lasts. We aim to work in dry conditions so coatings cure correctly.
