Dublin Deco Painting works throughout Rathmines and the wider Dublin 6 area, including Rathgar, Harold’s Cross, Portobello and Ranelagh. We are a family-run firm, and most of our work here is interior and exterior house painting: bedrooms, halls and stairs, full repaints, render and timber outside, with kitchen cabinets, front doors and commercial jobs alongside.

Dublin 6 is a mix of grand period family homes and busy rental streets. Around Rathgar and the roads off Palmerston you have large Victorian red-brick houses with original detail, while central Rathmines and Portobello are full of period houses long since converted into flats and apartments. We are comfortable with both, whether that means a careful high-end finish on a family home or a fast, clean turnaround between tenants.

Dust-sheets down, a tidy clean-up at the end of each day, a fixed price agreed before we start and no surprises. We are Google-rated 4.9 stars and fully insured.

Areas we cover around Rathmines

We cover Rathmines and the neighbouring Dublin 6 areas, including Rathgar, Harold’s Cross, Portobello, Ranelagh and up towards Terenure. Whether your house sits on a quiet road off Rathgar or a busy terrace near the Swan Centre, we will come out and take a look.

Period homes and flat conversions across Dublin 6

The grand homes around Rathgar and Palmerston Road are classic Dublin 6: Victorian and Edwardian red-brick with high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, sash windows and original timber. The finish has to match the house, so we take our time on the filling, sanding and caulking before any paint goes near a wall.

Closer to Rathmines village and Portobello, a lot of these period houses have been split into flats and rentals. That work is a different rhythm: landlords and letting agents need rooms turned around quickly and cleanly between tenancies, with a hard-wearing finish that stands up to wear. We handle both ends of the street.

  • Victorian and Edwardian red-brick homes around Rathgar and Palmerston Road, with sash windows, cornicing and panelled doors prepped to suit the age of the house.
  • Flat and apartment conversions in Rathmines and Portobello, repainted quickly and tidily between tenancies.
  • Halls, stairs and landings in tall period houses, done safely with the right access gear.
  • Front doors and railings on terraced homes, finished by hand so the whole front lifts.
