Why lakeside homes grow mould faster
The lake changes the job. Water that size holds moisture in the air overnight, and homes at Speers Point, Warners Bay, Toronto, and Eleebana sit in it until the sun burns it off. South-facing walls and anything shaded by established trees often stay damp until midday. That is exactly what mould needs. Painting over it does not kill it, and it will push back through a new coat within a season. So we treat the growth, wash the surface back properly, and let it dry before a brush goes near it.
Which walls need the most attention
It is rarely the whole house. Typically it is the southern and south-eastern elevations, the shaded side walls, and anywhere a fence or hedge sits close enough to stop airflow. We identify those at the quote and specify a mould-resistant system where it earns its place, rather than charging for it across every wall.
Trimming back before we start
If shrubs or branches are hard against the wall, clearing them gives the paint a far longer life. It is usually the cheapest thing you can do for the result, and you can do it yourself before we arrive.
