At Duke Property Services, we truely count it as a privilege to provide trusted house washing and exterior cleaning services, we know just how special this region is and it is great to help our customers enjoy it a little bit more with a home they are proud of.

Every day, we get to work on properties that enjoy the best of both worlds—stunning coastal views and a thriving local community. We’re here to share why the Kapiti Coast is such an amazing place to live, work, and run a business, and how our services help keep your homes looking their best in this beautiful setting.

The Natural Beauty of the Kapiti Coast

There’s no denying that the Kapiti Coast is one of New Zealand’s most picturesque areas. From the rugged cliffs of the southern end to the relaxed vibe of Paraparaumu and Waikanae, the landscape is diverse and inspiring. Fresh sea air, lush greenery, and panoramic views of Kapiti Island are all part of what we enjoy about this part of the world. The coastal environment makes regular exterior house washing and roof cleaning essential to keeping homes looking clean and vibrant.

The Close-Knit Community Feel

One of the things we love most about the Kapiti Coast is the sense of community. People here are friendly, welcoming, and always happy to lend a hand. Whether it’s chatting to neighbours at the weekend farmers’ market or enjoying local events, there's a real sense of connection in the area. It’s no surprise that many of our clients feel like family. When we wash a house, we’re not just working on a building—we’re working on a home, an important part of our community. Every time we head out to a job, we do so with care, knowing that we’re helping someone maintain their place on the coast

Easy Access to Wellington

Living on the Kapiti Coast means you get to enjoy a peaceful, relaxed lifestyle while still being within easy reach of Wellington, New Zealand’s vibrant capital city. A short drive or train ride from towns like Paraparaumu or Waikanae, you can easily commute to work, enjoy the city's cultural offerings, or take part in events and activities, and then retreat to the tranquillity of the coast at the end of the day.

A Range of Outdoor Activities

If you love outdoor adventure, the Kapiti Coast is a playground. Whether you’re into walking, cycling, surfing, or fishing, the region offers plenty of opportunities for all kinds of outdoor activities. The beaches are perfect for swimming, kayaking, and coastal walks, while the nearby hills and forests provide great hiking and mountain biking tracks. The local parks and nature reserves are ideal for relaxing picnics, bird watching, or simply enjoying the stunning natural surroundings.

Growing Local Amenities

The Kapiti Coast is rapidly developing, with more shops, restaurants, and facilities popping up all the time. From the Paraparaumu Beach shopping area to the growing Waikanae town center, there’s always something new to explore. Whether you're looking for local cafes, art galleries, boutique shops, or farmers' markets, you’ll find plenty of places to indulge. The Kapiti Coast also offers excellent healthcare services, schools, and recreational facilities, making it a family-friendly place to live. Duke Property Services is slowly becoming the trusted local service for building washing, shop front window cleaning and large scale water-blasting.

Coastal Living Means Extra Care for Your Home’s Exterior

Living near the coast brings its own set of challenges. The salty sea air, combined with the ever-changing weather conditions, can be hard on your home’s exterior. Over time, this can lead to the buildup of dirt, algae, mould, and moss—especially on roofs, decks, and fences. That's where we come in!

At Duke Property Services, we specialise in soft washing, roof cleaning, and exterior cleaning to protect your home from the elements. Our team uses eco-friendly products that are tough on grime but gentle on your surfaces. From washing away years of salt deposits to treating surfaces for moss and algae, our goal is to restore your home’s appearance while prolonging its life.
