Painting an apartment is very different from painting a standalone house, and a rental turnaround is very different from a full renovation. Access, timing, neighbours, building rules and budgets all change from job to job. We plan each project around your property and your situation, so the work runs smoothly and the result looks right.
Walls, ceilings, doors and trims, with careful protection of shared areas.
Interior repaints and exterior refreshes, including balconies and garage doors.
Rental & Investment Properties: Quick, neat repaints between tenants to get your property back on the market.
Fresh, neutral finishes that help your property present at its best.
Clean finishes on new plaster, timber and joinery, including touch-ups after trades.
Filling holes and cracks, sanding, patching and sealing stains and marks.
Different properties come with different challenges. We adapt our preparation, scheduling and paint choices to suit your property type, so you get a finish that fits how the space is used.
Apartments & Units
We plan around building access, lifts, noise limits and neighbours. We protect common areas, control dust and work efficiently to keep disruption low.
Townhouses & Multi-Level Homes
Stairwells, high ceilings and several floors need the right access equipment and a logical working order. We schedule each level so the job stays tidy and on track.
Rental & Investment Properties
Landlords need durable, easy-to-clean finishes that can handle tenants. We recommend scuff-resistant paints and neutral colours that appeal to renters and make future touch-ups simple.
New Builds & Renovations
New plaster and bare timber need the right primers and careful sanding. We work after other trades, fix marks and damage, and deliver a clean, flawless finish.
Older Apartments & Period Properties
Older walls often have hairline cracks, uneven surfaces and layers of old paint. We repair, seal and prime so the new paint looks smooth and lasts.
Balconies, Garages & Common Areas
Balcony walls, garage doors and exterior trims get the right exterior-grade products for sun, rain and wear.
A simple, organised process that keeps things on schedule and your property clean.
We inspect the property, discuss your goals, timeline and budget, and give you a clear written quote with no hidden costs. For rentals, we can work to your tenancy dates.
We agree access arrangements, working hours, building rules and a timeline that suits you, your tenants and your neighbours.
We cover floors, fixtures and furniture, mask edges, set up dust control, then fill, sand and spot-prime surfaces so the finish looks smooth and even.
The right primer goes on first, followed by two coats of quality paint, with the work planned in a logical order to finish each area cleanly.
We check every room in good light, touch up anything needed and walk through the finished work with you or your agent.
We remove all masking, drop sheets and rubbish and leave the property clean and ready for you, your tenants or your buyers.
The best colour and finish depends on who will be living in the property and how it will be used. Here's what we help our clients think about.
Live-in homes
Choose colours that suit your style and your natural light. Low-sheen walls, satin or semi-gloss trims and flat ceilings are a popular, practical combination.
Rentals & investment properties
Neutral, light colours suit most tenants and make touch-ups easy. A scuff-resistant, washable paint helps walls hold up to everyday use and keeps your repaint costs down over time.
Selling soon?
Fresh, neutral walls and clean white trims help buyers focus on the space, not the decor. We can help you choose a palette that photographs well and suits your target buyers.
Small and dark apartments
Lighter colours can make small or low-light apartments feel brighter and larger. We help you test colours in your space before deciding.
Moisture-prone rooms
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens need paints made for humidity and regular cleaning. We recommend products suited to each room.
Low-odour options
For occupied apartments and homes with children, we can recommend low-odour and low-VOC paint options. Ask us when you request your quote.
6 Reasons Melbourne Property Owners Choose Best Coat Painting
We provide residential painting for apartments, townhouses, rentals and homes across Melbourne, including:
Your property may be due for a repaint if walls look scuffed, stained or faded, paint is peeling or cracking, you can see marks from furniture or past tenants, ceilings show water stains or mould, or the colours feel dated. Rental properties usually need a refresh between tenants and a full repaint every few years, depending on wear. Owner-occupied homes and apartments often go 5 to 10 years between repaints. A fresh coat of paint is also one of the most cost-effective ways to prepare a property for sale, helping it look clean, bright and well cared for.
Every property is different, so we give a written quote after inspecting it. Residential painting in Melbourne often falls between $[X] and $[X], depending on the job. The main factors are the number and size of rooms, ceiling height, the condition of the walls and how much repair work is needed, whether ceilings, trims and doors are included, access, such as stairs, lifts and building rules, and the paint quality you choose. Smaller jobs often cost more per room, so painting several rooms or a whole unit together is usually better value. A very low quote often means less preparation or cheaper paint, so we explain exactly what's included.
If you rent out a property, a quick, tidy repaint between tenants helps you re-list sooner and keeps the property well presented. We can work to a tight timeline and recommend durable, washable, neutral finishes that suit most tenants. Check your rental agreement and the current Victorian rental rules for any requirements about the condition of the property, and talk to your agent about tenancy dates and access.
If you own an apartment or townhouse in a strata or owners corporation, you may need approval before painting external or common areas such as balconies, front doors or shared walls. Check your building's rules or talk to your owners corporation manager before choosing colours or booking a start date. We're happy to work with building managers on access, timing and noise.
Whether you're moving in, renting out, renovating or selling, give your property the finish it deserves. Talk to Melbourne's licensed residential painters today for honest advice and a free, no-obligation quote.
