When you hire separate trades for the inside and outside of your home, colours can clash, schedules drag on and nobody takes responsibility for the whole result. A single painting team keeps everything consistent, from the colour of your front door to the trims in your hallway, and keeps the project moving.

Whether you’re repainting before you sell, finishing a renovation, or refreshing a home you plan to stay in for years, we manage the full job from start to finish.

SURFACES WE PAINT

Every Surface, Inside and Out, Done the Right Way

A whole house has many different surfaces, and each one needs its own preparation and paint. Using the wrong product on the wrong surface is a common cause of peeling, marking and early fading. We match the right system to every part of your home.

Interior Walls & Ceilings
We fill dents, sand joins and spot-prime repairs so patches don’t show through. Ceilings get a flat or low-sheen finish that hides imperfections, and walls get two coats for an even finish.

Timber Trims, Doors & Joinery
We sand, fill and prime, then apply a hard-wearing satin or semi-gloss finish that resists scuffs and wipes clean.

Weatherboard & Timber Exteriors
Weatherboard needs more preparation than most surfaces. We scrape, sand, spot-prime and seal bare timber, then use flexible exterior paint that moves with the boards.

Brick, Render & Cement Sheet
We clean and treat each surface, repair cracks and apply the right primer, sealer and acrylic topcoat to protect against moisture.

Wet Areas & Kitchens
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens get moisture-resistant paints made for humidity and regular cleaning.

Fences, Decks & Outbuildings
Cleaned, sanded and recoated with durable exterior coatings, so the whole property looks consistent.

COLOURS & FINISHES

Planning Colours and Finishes for Your Whole House

When you repaint a whole house, the colours need to work together, not just room by room. Here's how we help our clients plan a result that looks polished and consistent.

Colour sets the mood of a room, and the finish decides how well it handles daily life. Here’s what we help our clients think about before choosing paint.

Think about flow
Choose a main colour for the open areas of your home, then use accent shades in individual rooms. A consistent trim colour throughout makes the whole house feel connected.

Work with natural light
Rooms facing different directions get very different light. Warmer tones suit darker, south-facing rooms, while north-facing rooms can handle a wider range. We always suggest testing sample colours and checking them at different times of day.

Match the exterior and interior
Your front door, trims and window frames link inside and out. We help you choose combinations that look good from the street and from the hallway.

Pick the right sheen for each space
Flat or matt for ceilings, low-sheen for living areas and bedrooms, semi-gloss for kitchens and bathrooms, and satin or gloss for doors and trims. Exterior walls typically use a low-sheen acrylic.

Suit your home’s style and street
A Victorian terrace, a Federation home and a modern townhouse suit different palettes. We help you choose colours that suit your architecture and your neighbourhood.

Check heritage requirements early
If your home is in a heritage area, external colours and finishes may be controlled. Check with your local council before finalising your scheme.

Signs, Costs & Planning Guide

When to Repaint Your House

It may be time to repaint your house if the walls look scuffed, stained or faded, paint is peeling, flaking or cracking, you can see mould or water marks, the exterior looks chalky or patchy, or the colours feel dated. A house that has just been renovated, or one you're about to sell, also benefits from a fresh coat of paint. As a general guide, interiors are repainted every 5 to 10 years and exteriors every 7 to 10 years, depending on the surfaces, the paint used and how hard the home is used.

What Affects the Cost of House Painting in Melbourne?

Every home is different, so we give a written quote after inspecting your property. A whole-house repaint for a typical home in Melbourne often falls between $[X] and $[X]. The main factors are the size of the house and the number of storeys, how many rooms are included, the condition of the surfaces and how much repair work is needed, whether ceilings, trims and doors are included, the exterior material, the paint quality and any extras like fences, decks or roofs. Doing the inside and outside together can also reduce setup and travel costs compared to booking separate jobs. A very low quote often means less preparation or cheaper paint, so we explain exactly what's included.

Painting Your House Before You Sell

A fresh coat of paint is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve how a home presents to buyers. Neutral colours, clean trims and a tidy exterior help buyers picture themselves living there. We can work to your listing date and focus on the areas that make the biggest impression, such as the front of the house, entry, living areas and kitchen.

Living at Home During the Job

Most of our clients stay in their homes while we work. We plan the job room by room, set up dust control and keep you updated on what's happening each day, so you always have somewhere comfortable to stay. We'll agree a schedule with you before we start, and we'll tell you if weather affects the exterior work.
