Our Residential Painting Services

Every home is different, and we tailor every job to suit the property, the style, and the result you’re after. Our residential painting services include:

Full Home Repaints

The biggest transformation you can give your house in a week or two. We handle the full job inside and out — walls, ceilings, trim, doors, eaves, fascias, gutters, the lot — coordinated so it all comes together properly.

Interior House Painting

Walls, ceilings, doors, skirting boards, architraves, window frames, and feature walls — anything inside your home. Perfect for refreshing tired rooms, brightening up dark spaces, or completely changing the vibe of your living areas. [Learn more about our Interior Painting →]

Exterior House Painting

Weatherboard, render, brick, cladding, eaves, fascias, decks, verandahs, and trim — we cover every exterior surface using paint systems built for Melbourne’s harsh climate. [Learn more about our Exterior Painting →]

Period & Heritage Homes

Federation, Victorian, Edwardian, Californian Bungalow, Art Deco — Melbourne’s full of beautiful character homes. We take the extra care these properties need, especially with weatherboard prep, timber rot repair, and matching original colour palettes.

Modern Homes & New Builds

For modern homes and newly built properties, we deliver clean, sharp finishes that match contemporary architectural styles — including rendered exteriors, cement sheet, and feature walls.

Apartments, Townhouses & Units

From single-bedroom unit refreshes to full apartment repaints, we work efficiently in tight spaces and around body corporate requirements.

Renovations & Extensions

Working with a renovator or builder? We coordinate with your other trades to deliver a finish that ties new and existing work together seamlessly.

Pre-Sale & Pre-Lease Repaints

Selling or leasing your property? A fresh repaint is one of the best-return investments you can make. We deliver fast-turnaround pre-sale and pre-lease painting that boosts kerb appeal and sale or rental value.

Investment Properties & Rentals

Landlords and property investors across Melbourne use us for repaints between tenants — quick, clean, and priced to make sense for an investment property.

Wallpaper Removal, Plaster Repair & More

We also handle the things that come up alongside painting — wallpaper stripping, minor plaster repairs, filling cracks and holes, timber rot repair, and re-staining decks.

Built for Melbourne Homes

Painting a Melbourne home means dealing with:

  • Hot summers and freezing winters that expand and contract every surface
  • Harsh UV that fades cheap paint within a couple of years
  • Bayside salt air along Mornington, Chelsea, Sorrento, and Phillip Island that corrodes timber and metal
  • Mould and damp in cooler, shaded areas after wet winters
  • Heritage timber and old plaster that needs specific prep and product choices

That’s why we use premium Australian paint systems built for these conditions, prep every surface thoroughly, and tailor our approach to each property. A home repainted properly should look great for 7–10 years on the exterior and even longer inside.

Our Residential Painting Process

We’ve refined our process over a decade to make house painting as smooth and stress-free as possible.

1

Free Site Visit & Quote

We come to your home, walk through what you want done, take measurements, and discuss colours and finishes. You get a fixed-price written quote with a clear scope — no hidden extras.

2

Colour & Finish Consultation

Choosing colours and finishes can be the hardest part. We help you settle on the right whites, neutrals, or feature colours, and recommend the right finishes — matte, low-sheen, semi-gloss, or gloss — for each room or surface.

3

Surface Preparation

This is where most painters cut corners. We don't. Furniture moved and covered, floors protected with drop sheets Masking around edges, fixtures, windows, and trim Filling holes, cracks, and dents Sanding rough or uneven surfaces Pressure washing (for exterior work) Repairing damaged timber, render, or plaster Priming bare or repaired surfaces

4

Painting

We apply two coats as standard — more if the colour change or surface needs it — using brushes, rollers, or sprayers depending on the surface and finish. Every coat is given proper drying time.

5

Final Walk-Through & Clean-Up

Before we leave, we walk through every room or area with you to make sure you're 100% happy. We pack up, clean up, and leave your home tidier than we found it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cost depends on the size of your home, surface conditions, number of coats, paint type, and whether the work is interior, exterior, or both. As a rough guide, a single room often starts in the hundreds, while a full whole-home repaint runs into the thousands depending on size and prep needed. We provide free, fixed-price written quotes after an on-site visit.

A single room can usually be done in a day. A standard 3-bedroom interior takes 3–5 working days. A full exterior repaint typically takes 5–10 working days. Full inside-and-out repaints generally run 2–3 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your quote.
