Exterior painting in Melbourne

Exterior painting for weatherboard, brick and rendered homes

We carry out full exterior repaints and selected-elevation work on Melbourne properties. Weatherboard homes need attention to loose coatings, board edges and joints; brick and render require assessment of their condition, porosity and existing finish. Metal surfaces need their own compatible preparation and primer. We identify these differences during the inspection and specify the coating system for each part of the building, rather than applying one approach to every material.

• Weatherboard and timber cladding painting.
• Brick sealing and painting, and rendered wall coatings.
• Previously painted masonry and metal details.
• Doors, windows, posts and other exterior features.

Eaves, fascia, windows, decks and fences

We include the details that complete an exterior repaint: eaves, fascias, bargeboards, window frames, entrance doors and other agreed trim. Deck and fence work can include weather-resistant stains or painted finishes selected for the timber and its condition. These surfaces receive their own preparation and finish specification. Including each item in the written quote makes the extent of the work clear and helps coordinate the main walls, trim and outdoor structures.

How we prepare an exterior for painting

We clean off dirt, mould and chalky residue using a method appropriate to the surface, then scrape loose paint and sand the areas being coated. We carry out the agreed filling and joint treatment, prepare exposed or repaired areas and apply compatible primers before the finish coats. Rusted metal and deteriorated coatings receive the treatment specified for their condition. Leaks, rotten timber, unstable render and structural defects need suitable repairs before the affected area is painted.

Protecting the property and planning for Melbourne weather

We cover or mask nearby fixtures and surfaces and plan the work around gardens, paths, vehicles and daily access. Building height, narrow boundaries and sloping ground influence the access equipment and setup. We schedule exterior application around the coating’s requirements for surface dryness, rain, temperature and drying time. This includes allowing prepared areas and each coat the time they need, with the order of work adjusted to the conditions on site.

Our exterior painting process and colour selection

We review the wall colour alongside the roof, paving, windows and trim, using physical samples to see how sun and shade change its appearance. The chosen colour and finish for each part of the exterior are recorded before application. The painting then follows a defined sequence from assessment to handover, with the preparation and coating work visible in the scope. Roof painting can be coordinated as a separately assessed service.

1. Inspect and specify: assess materials, existing coatings, access and the selected exterior colours.
2. Protect and prepare: clean, scrape, fill, sand, treat and prime the agreed surfaces.
3. Apply exterior coatings: finish the walls and details to the specified system and drying requirements.
4. Inspect and tidy: check coverage and edges, complete agreed touch-ups and clean the site.
