Painting costs vary by many factors, so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. We provide free, no-obligation quotes based on your project details. Factors include the size of your home, ceiling height (scaffolding may be needed), exterior vs interior, surface condition, number of coats, and type of paint. We’ll walk you through the quote, detailing prep work, paint brands, and coatings to use, so you know exactly what’s included. Get an online estimate or call us to discuss your job!

The timeline depends on scope and home size. For example, an average 3‑bedroom house in good condition might take about 5–7 days to paint internally. Exterior projects can vary more (weatherboards, render, number of stories, etc.). We provide a clear schedule before starting and work efficiently to minimise disruption. Request your project timeline when you get a quote!

Only minimal preparation is needed from you. We handle surface prep, covering and cleanup, but we ask customers to clear fragile items and move light furniture from painting areas. You may want to remove wall decorations or clutter. Our team uses drop sheets, tape and coverings to protect floors and belongings, and they’ll patch and sand as needed. Learn more about how we protect your home during a paint job!

We take care of the mess. After painting, our crew removes drop cloths and cleans up paint splatters, leaving your home spotless. You can usually re-enter painted rooms within a couple of hours (low-odor, low-VOC paints are used when possible). We’ll also advise you on any ongoing maintenance or touch-ups (usually minimal). Feel free to inspect the work and let us know if any touch-ups are needed – we guarantee your satisfaction!

Absolutely. We can schedule work during evenings, weekends or shutdowns to minimise downtime for your business. Tell us your preferred timing and we’ll accommodate. Our team will plan access and traffic management so operations can continue around us. Ask about flexible scheduling when you call for a quote.

Yes. All our painters are fully licensed and insured, including public liability and workers’ compensation coverage. We follow strict safety and compliance standards on every commercial project. This ensures your property and personnel are protected, giving you peace of mind. We can provide copies of our insurance and licensing on request.

We use an experienced project supervisor to oversee every job. We walk you through the plan, discuss desired outcomes, and inspect the finished work with you. Our promise is professional workmanship and premium materials (e.g. Dulux or Taubmans paints). We even offer warranties on our workmanship (see Guarantees). Check our references – we have a 98% client satisfaction rate.

We paint virtually any interior or exterior surface: walls, ceilings, partitions, structural steel, and even concrete floors (with epoxy or sealers). We can also paint doors, trim, beams, and safety markings. For large floors like in warehouses or car parks, we apply durable coatings and line markings. Discuss your specific needs, and we’ll adapt our approach. View our Projects for examples of previous commercial work.

Yes. We offer free colour consultation as part of our service. Our team can provide on-site or in-office colour samples, discuss trends, and help you choose shades that match your style and lighting conditions. Melbourne’s changing daylight and local design trends are considered, so your new colours will look great year-round. Book a color consultation when you schedule your job.

We cover all belongings and floors with drop sheets and tape. Wherever possible, we move furniture to the center and cover it (or ask you to move smaller items ahead of time). We always sand and wipe walls to minimize dust, then clean up any debris afterwards. Your home will be left as clean (or cleaner) than we found it. Our painters are trained to work neatly and respect your home.

We handle minor repairs. Our crew will fill holes, sand uneven patches and prime bare drywall or wood as needed. For significant damage or moisture issues, we’ll consult with you on the best fix (often a more extensive prep is needed). Quality starts with preparation – so we ensure walls and ceilings are sound before applying topcoats. Ask us about paint-grade plaster if you have special repair needs.

We use low-odor, low-VOC paints whenever possible. You’ll smell only a mild paint scent during and briefly after the job. We ventilate rooms with fans and open windows to clear any fumes quickly. If you have chemical sensitivities, let us know – we can choose very-low-VOC or natural paint options. We take care to keep your family safe during painting projects.

We handle all proper prep. On exteriors, we often use pressure washing to clean surfaces of dirt, mold and loose paint. If wood is weathered, we sand or strip peeling areas. A primer is applied to bare wood, metal or new plaster to ensure adhesion. New builds often need primer on bare timber or render. After prep, we apply premium exterior-grade paint (e.g. Dulux Weathershield) for UV and weather protection. Our thorough prep means a long-lasting exterior finish.

Exterior jobs depend on weather conditions. We usually book exterior painting for mild, dry days, avoiding heavy rain or extreme temperatures. An average single-storey home (3-bed) may take about a week for a full repaint; large or multi-level homes take longer. We coordinate with you for the best start date. Call us to schedule your exterior painting in the optimal season.

We cover plants, glass, and pathways with tarps and masking. We try to keep ladders and scaffolding off delicate plants. If any paint splatters fall, our crew cleans them immediately. Many Melbourne homes have native or landscaped gardens – we respect your space by working carefully around it. Let us know if you have special landscaping needs before we start.

A fresh exterior paint protects your home from sun, rain and moisture, preventing rot and wood damage. It also boosts curb appeal and can increase property value. Melbourne weather (UV and occasional storms) can fade or peel older paint, so repainting every 7-10 years keeps your home looking new and structurally sound. Contact us for a colour consult – a new exterior look can make your home feel brand new.

Frequency depends on climate exposure and material. Generally, a stained deck or fence needs refreshing every 2–3 years for rougher timber, or up to 5-7 years for high-quality sealers. Paint typically lasts longer but may flake if moisture gets under it. We check your deck/fence condition during our quote and recommend the right timing and product. We use long-lasting paints and stains to maximize lifespan.

We will clean (often powerwash) the surfaces, scrape loose paint, sand rough spots and fill any splits or holes. On untreated timber, we apply a suitable primer or sealer. Good prep is key to a lasting finish. For fences, this might mean brushing off mud or algae and sanding rough boards. When everything is clean and dry, we apply two coats of premium exterior paint or stain. No need to hire someone to prep first – we handle it all.

Painting or sealing your fence/deck protects it from UV, rain and pests, extending its life. A new coat also revitalizes the look of your yard – even modest fences and decks can become attractive features. Painted fences can boost curb appeal and property value. Our protective coatings resist Melbourne sun and rain – see our gallery for before/after photos.

Yes. Like our interior/exterior work, we stand behind our deck and fence painting with a workmanship warranty. If any peeling or defects occur within the warranty period, we will remedy them at no extra cost. We also advise on manufacturer warranties for the paints or stains we use (many premium paints carry 5–10 year product warranties). Quality and customer satisfaction are our top priorities.

Typically, newly painted lines dry in about 30 minutes to 1 hour. However, heavy traffic (like forklifts) should avoid the area for a few hours to allow full curing. In cool or damp weather, drying can take longer. We always plan line marking projects to minimise downtime, and can often do work after hours or on weekends to reopen lanes quickly.

We offer all standard line-marking colours: white, yellow, red, blue, green, and more. We can stripe car spaces, crosswalks, directional arrows, loading zones, bike lanes, numbered bays, etc. We have set stencils for common markings, and can also create custom stencils for logos or custom symbols. If thermoplastic melt marking is needed (hot-applied), we use that too for longevity. Tell us your requirements – we customise markings for your site.

We cover all of Melbourne and surrounding regions – including Melbourne CBD, eastern suburbs, south-east areas like Dandenong and Pakenham, and beyond. Whether it’s a small retail car park or a large industrial warehouse, we can travel to you. Contact us to confirm availability in your suburb. We also service Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, and regional areas by arrangement.

Yes. Like our interior/exterior work, we stand behind our deck and fence painting with a workmanship warranty. If any peeling or defects occur within the warranty period, we will remedy them at no extra cost. We also advise on manufacturer warranties for the paints or stains we use (many premium paints carry 5–10 year product warranties). Quality and customer satisfaction are our top priorities.

Yes, our quotes are completely free and transparent. There are no hidden fees – we describe all prep work, paint brands, number of coats, and labor in writing. If any issues (like dry rot or water damage) are discovered, we will discuss options with you before proceeding. Our goal is clear pricing so you can budget with confidence.

Even for similar-sized jobs, quotes can differ due to materials and workmanship. A low quote might use cheaper paint or do less prep, while a high quote usually reflects premium materials or extra work. A 5–7% variance between competitive quotes is normal. We always aim to offer fair, affordable pricing for high-quality work. Ask us to compare scopes if you have multiple quotes – we’ll explain what’s included.

We accept bank transfers, credit cards, and cash. For large projects (especially commercial), we may require a deposit (typically 20–30%) with the balance on completion. All payment terms are outlined in our quote or contract. We’ll provide you with a convenient invoice or online payment link.

Start times vary based on current workload and season. Generally, we book jobs a few weeks in advance – busy periods (spring/summer) can fill up fast. As soon as your quote is accepted, we’ll offer the earliest available slots. For urgent jobs, let us know and we’ll do our best to expedite or fit you in between projects. We strive to be punctual and flexible to meet your timing needs.

We monitor weather closely for exterior jobs. If rain or high winds are forecast, we may pause work until safe to resume. For interior work, weather isn’t an issue. We factor possible weather delays into our schedule and keep you informed if dates shift. Our crew aims to minimize downtime; for example, we can paint interiors or do prep work if an exterior coat gets rained out. We always work within the agreed timeframe and communicate any changes promptly.

No, you don’t have to be present for us to paint. Many customers provide access (lockbox or garage code) and we update you by phone or email. However, if you have questions on site (color choices, etc.), it’s helpful to be available at the start. We secure your home while on site and always lock up when we leave each day. Just let us know what’s most convenient for you.

Yes – clean-up is part of our service. After painting, we remove drop cloths, vacuum or sweep any dust, and wipe down trims. Any paint spills on floors are cleaned immediately. We’ll leave your place looking neat, so you can enjoy your new paint right away. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, and we won’t consider the job finished until the site is clean.

Indoors, paint is usually dry to touch in 1–2 hours (with ventilation), and furniture can return after about 4–6 hours. Complete curing takes a day or two. Outdoors (driveways or parking lines), allow about 24 hours to dry properly, depending on weather. We’ll advise you: “you can walk here, but wait X hours for cars.” This ensures the finish is hard and durable before full use.

We recommend waiting at least 7–14 days for paint to fully cure before installing screws or nails. This allows adhesives or anchors to hold firmly in cured paint without peeling. If you need to hang things immediately, use picture-hanging strips (Command strips) as a temporary solution. Consult us for safe hanging instructions if needed.

Yes, our team handles both home and business painting throughout Melbourne. Whether it’s a single-room touch-up in Carlton or a large commercial project in Dandenong South, we can do it. Our fleet can mobilize to most locations in Melbourne. Contact us for projects in regional Victoria – we frequently travel to nearby areas for jobs.

For any location within about 50 km of our depot, we include travel in our quote at no extra cost. Remote or very short-notice jobs further afield may incur a small travel surcharge. We always disclose this upfront. Ask about travel fees when booking; many outer Melbourne suburbs are included in our normal coverage.
