Exterior painting

Exterior painting built for Wallan weather.

Up here paint gets tested hard: hot north winds in summer, frosty mornings in winter. We wash, scrape, sand and prime before a single top coat goes on, so your house looks fresh from the street and stays protected.

How we work

Step by step, no shortcuts.

  1. Inspect and quote

    We check for flaking paint, cracks and damaged timber, and tell you what we find.

  2. Wash

    Dirt, dust and mould pressure-cleaned off so the paint can bond.

  3. Repair and prepare

    Loose paint scraped back, gaps filled, surfaces sanded and bare timber primed.

  4. Paint

    Exterior paints chosen for the surface, applied in the coats it needs.

  5. Final check

    We walk around the house with you and clean up the site.

Local to you

From Kilmore weatherboards to Craigieburn brick veneer.

Older homes in Kilmore, Broadford, Wandong and Wallan’s original streets are often weatherboard, where every loose flake has to come off before anything new goes on. In Craigieburn, Epping, Mernda and South Morang it is more often faded render, eaves and fascias that have spent years facing the afternoon sun.

In the newer estates around Beveridge, Kalkallo and Wollert, owners usually call us to refresh fences, front doors and feature cladding so the house keeps up with the street. Exterior work depends on the weather, so we plan around rain and give you an honest start date.

FAQ

Exterior painting questions

When is the best time to paint outside?

Mild, dry days. Paint needs time to cure, so we avoid rain, very hot afternoons and frosty mornings. In Melbourne’s north that usually means spring to autumn, but we work any month the forecast allows.

How long will an exterior paint job last?

It depends on the surface, the paint and how much sun the wall gets. Preparation matters most, which is why we spend so much of the job on washing, scraping and priming.

Do you paint fences and gates?

Yes. Timber and metal fences, gates, sheds and outbuildings, on their own or as part of a full exterior repaint.

Can you help us choose colours?

Yes. We talk through colours when we quote, and you can try palettes on example rooms and house fronts on our colour ideas page.
