Painting a fence properly is about more than a quick coat. Bare or weathered timber soaks up moisture, old paint flakes away and rust creeps in on metal. If a fence isn't cleaned and prepared first, new paint won't stick and the job fails within a year or two. We prepare the fence correctly, then apply a durable coating that protects it from sun, rain and wear.
Pressure cleaning to remove dirt, mould, algae and loose paint.
Sanding, filling, replacing loose fixings and treating rust or damaged areas.
The right primer or sealer so paint bonds and bare timber is protected.
Two coats of quality exterior paint in your chosen colour.
Timber stains that protect and highlight the natural grain.
Painted at the same time so everything matches.
Different fences need different preparation and different products. Using the wrong system is the main reason fence paint peels, fades or stains. We match the method and coating to your fence type.
Timber Paling Fences
Common along side and rear boundaries. We clean, sand and prime or seal the timber, then apply paint or stain suited to rough or bare palings so it soaks in evenly and lasts.
Picket Fences & Front Fences
Detailed fences need careful brushwork around the edges and posts. We sand, fill and prime, then finish in a hard-wearing paint that gives you a crisp, clean look.
Colorbond & Metal Fences
We wash off dirt and chalking, treat any rust, prime bare patches and apply a coating made for metal for even coverage and lasting colour.
Gates, Posts & Capping
These high-contact parts wear faster than the rest of the fence. We give them extra preparation and a tougher finish so they stay looking good.
Rendered & Brick Fences
We clean, repair cracks and apply a suitable masonry primer and acrylic paint to protect against moisture and weathering.
Commercial & Security Fencing
We can paint commercial and boundary fencing for shops, offices and industrial sites, with work scheduled around your business.
A fence finish lasts as long as its preparation. Here's how we make it last.
We inspect your fence, check the timber or metal, discuss colours and finishes, and give you a clear written quote with no hidden costs.
We cover plants, paths and nearby surfaces, then pressure clean the fence to remove dirt, mould, algae and flaking paint.
We sand rough areas, fill holes, secure loose fixings, treat rust and spot-prime bare patches so the new coating bonds properly.
Priming & Painting The right primer or sealer goes on first, followed by two coats of quality exterior paint or stain, applied so the coverage is even on both faces and edges.
We check the whole fence, gates and posts, touch up where needed and walk you through the finished job.
We remove drop sheets, tape and waste, leaving your property clean and tidy.
A fence frames your property, so the colour and finish you choose make a real difference to how your home looks from the street. Here's what we help our clients think about.
Paint or stain?
Paint gives you full colour control and a smooth, solid finish. Stain lets the natural grain of the timber show through and often suits older, textured or rough palings. We’ll explain which suits your fence.
Match your home’s exterior
Your fence colour should work with your wall colour, trims, gates and garden. We help you choose combinations that look cohesive from the street.
Consider sun exposure
Fences in full sun fade faster, and very dark colours can show fading and heat marks more quickly. We’ll recommend products that hold their colour well.
Choose the right sheen
Low-sheen finishes give a modern, subtle look and hide imperfections. Satin or semi-gloss suits picket fences, gates and capping, where you want a harder-wearing surface that’s easy to clean.
Plan for the garden
Neutral and dark tones often make plants and garden beds stand out, while lighter colours can brighten small or shaded yards.
Check any heritage or shared-fence rules first
Front fences in heritage areas can have restrictions, and if your fence is a shared boundary, it’s worth talking to your neighbour before changing its appearance. We recommend checking before choosing a colour.
6 Reasons Melbourne Homeowners Choose Best Coat Painting
We provide fence painting for homes and commercial properties across Melbourne, including:
Your fence may need attention if the paint is peeling, flaking or faded, the timber looks grey, dry or cracked, you can see mould, algae or dark stains, rust is bleeding through on metal, or water no longer beads on the surface. A fence in full sun and rain often needs repainting every 5 to 8 years, and stained timber may need recoating sooner. Acting early is cheaper than waiting. Once timber rots or rust spreads, you may need repairs or replacement instead of a repaint, and we'll give you an honest assessment of which suits your fence.
Every fence is different, so we give a written quote after inspecting your property. Fence painting for a typical home in Melbourne often falls between $[X] and $[X]. The main factors are the length and height of the fence, the material and its condition, how much cleaning and repair work is needed, whether you want painting or staining, whether both sides need coating, the number of gates and posts, and access, such as steep or narrow areas. Painting both sides and the top edge costs more than one face, but it gives a more even, longer-lasting result. A very low quote often means less cleaning, skipped primer or a single thin coat, so we explain exactly what's included.
If your fence is structurally sound and mostly faded, weathered or dirty, painting or staining is a cost-effective way to refresh it and extend its life. If posts are rotten, palings are loose or the fence is leaning, repairs or replacement may be needed first. We'll tell you honestly which option makes sense, and we can paint the fence once any repairs are done.
If your fence is a shared dividing fence, speak to your neighbour before major work, since Victoria's Fences Act has rules about shared boundary fences. In heritage areas, front fences and external paint colours may also be controlled, so check your property on Vicplan or with your local council before choosing a colour.
