Frequently asked questions

Pricing depends on the size of the job, the condition of the surfaces, and how much prep work is needed. We assess every property individually and provide a detailed, itemised quote before starting — so there are no surprises and no hidden costs.

Yes. All our painters are fully licensed tradespeople in Victoria and covered by full public liability insurance. We also follow all WorkSafe Victoria safety requirements on every project.

We service Greater Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. This includes the inner city, northern, eastern, western, and southern suburbs. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, simply contact us and we'll confirm.

Most interior homes take around 3–5 days, while exterior painting usually takes 5–7 days depending on weather and surface condition. Roof restoration typically takes 2–3 days. Kitchen cabinet resprays are done in 3–5 days. Larger or more detailed projects may take longer.

Professional preparation includes cleaning, sanding, filling cracks and holes, caulking gaps, and priming where needed. Proper preparation is the most important part of any paint job — it's what makes the finish smooth and long-lasting. We spend more time preparing than painting.

Most water-based paints dry to the touch in 1–2 hours, but full recoating usually takes 2–4 hours. Drying time varies depending on temperature, humidity, and paint type. We schedule work around Melbourne's conditions for the best result.

We use premium Australian paint systems selected for the surface, room and expected wear. Low-VOC, washable and moisture-resistant finishes are specified where the job needs them.

Interior walls are usually repainted every 5–7 years, while exterior surfaces may need repainting every 7–10 years depending on weather exposure and paint quality. Kitchens and bathrooms may need attention sooner due to moisture and wear.

Yes. We offer up to 10 years in writing on workmanship, depending on the service. We also include a free touch-up visit after 12 months to handle any settling issues.

Absolutely. We work room by room so you can keep using the rest of the house. We use low-VOC paints, protect your furniture with drop sheets, and clean up every afternoon. Most clients stay home throughout the project.

No. We ask that you remove small items, photos, and personal belongings from the areas being painted. We'll handle the larger furniture — moving it to the centre of the room and covering it with drop sheets.

Preparation. A cheap painter rolls paint on quickly. A professional spends 60–70% of the time on preparation — cleaning, sanding, filling, priming, masking, and protecting. That's what makes the finish last 7–10 years instead of 2–3.

Yes. We use professional colour-matching systems and confirm the result against the existing surface before the finish coats are applied.

Yes, we paint year-round. Interior painting is unaffected by weather. For exterior work, we monitor Melbourne's conditions and schedule around rain and extreme temperatures to ensure the best adhesion and finish.
