"Amazing work ethic & 10/10 craftsmanship!"

Cannot recommend Izzy highly enough. Amazing work ethic, communicative, and 10/10 craftsmanship on the work she undertakes. She also went above and beyond on a few other components of my apartment which I'm very grateful for.

"Arrived on time & did perfect work!"

Izzy was recommended to me by a friend she had performed great work for. She arrived right on time, did perfect work and even popped next door to fix a power point for my neighbour. I can't recommend her highly enough.

"Thorough, reliable & professional service!"

Absolutely top-notch service. She's not only a fantastic electrician — thorough, reliable, and clearly knows her stuff — but also has a really gentle, respectful presence. Showed up on time, communicated clearly, and did a brilliant job.

"Efficient, honest & reliable!"

Isabelle is a professional at what she does. Very efficient, honest and reliable. Couldn't be any happier with the outdoor and indoor lighting she did for us. Highly recommend.

We provide comprehensive exterior painting services across Melbourne and the inner-eastern suburbs including Brighton, Kew, Canterbury, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Toorak, Malvern, Glen Iris, Balwyn, Armadale, South Yarra, and surrounding areas. Our team is familiar with the unique characteristics of Melbourne's diverse housing stock — from Victorian terraces in Richmond to mid-century modern homes in Brighton. If you are located within metropolitan Melbourne and unsure whether we cover your suburb, simply contact us through the quote form or give us a call and we will confirm availability for your location.

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation on-site quotes for all exterior painting projects. One of our experienced exterior specialists will visit your property at a time convenient for you to assess the full scope of work. We evaluate the condition of existing surfaces, identify any underlying issues such as timber rot or render damage, discuss your preferred colour scheme and finish options, and provide a detailed written quote outlining all preparation work, materials, labour, and timeline. There is no pressure to proceed and we encourage you to take time to consider the quote carefully.

We paint virtually every type of exterior surface found on Melbourne homes and buildings. This includes timber weatherboards (both original and replacement), brickwork (both painted and unpainted), rendered surfaces, concrete, fibre cement sheeting such as HardiePlank, metal cladding, eaves, fascias, gutters, downpipes, windows, doors, garage doors, fences, decks, pergolas, and retaining walls. Each surface type requires specific preparation methods and paint formulations, and our team has extensive experience working with all of them.

The timeline varies significantly depending on the size and condition of your property. A single-storey home with good existing surfaces might take five to seven working days, while a large two-storey weatherboard home requiring substantial timber repairs could take two to three weeks or longer. Weather is also a factor — we work around rain forecasts and extreme heat to ensure optimal drying conditions. During your free quote, we provide a realistic timeline based on your specific project scope and factor in buffer time for unexpected repairs or weather delays.

As Dulux Accredited painters, we primarily use Dulux Weathershield for exterior wall surfaces — it is specifically engineered for Australian conditions with advanced UV resistance, flexibility to prevent cracking, and mould-resistant technology. For trim work, we recommend Dulux Gloss or Semi-Gloss for durability and ease of cleaning. For metal surfaces like gutters and downpipes, we use specialised metal primers and topcoats. For roofs, we apply heat-reflective roof coatings designed to reduce internal temperatures and extend roof life. We can also source products from other premium brands like Taubmans or Wattyl if you have a preference.

Thorough preparation is absolutely critical for a lasting exterior finish and it is where many painters cut corners. Our process starts with a complete pressure wash to remove dirt, mould, loose paint, and contaminants. We then scrape and sand all flaking or peeling areas, fill cracks and holes with appropriate flexible fillers, repair or replace damaged timber sections, sand glossy surfaces to create a suitable key for adhesion, mask all windows, doors, and surfaces not being painted, and apply primer where required — particularly on bare timber, patched areas, and previously unpainted surfaces. This level of preparation typically accounts for 40-50% of total project time but ensures results that last for years rather than months.

Melbourne weather can be unpredictable, so we plan accordingly. We monitor forecasts closely and schedule work to maximise dry painting days. If rain is forecast, we secure all exposed areas with tarps, ensure wet paint is covered, and resume work once surfaces are properly dry. Most modern acrylic paints are touch-dry within thirty minutes and rain-resistant after a few hours, so brief showers rarely cause significant delays. For larger projects, we factor potential weather interruptions into our timeline estimates. If significant rain extends your project timeline, there is never an additional charge — we honour our quoted price regardless of weather delays.

Yes, every exterior painting project completed by Auspainters is backed by our 5-Year Workmanship Warranty. This covers any defects arising from our preparation or application work, including peeling, blistering, or premature failure under normal conditions. In addition to our own warranty, Dulux Weathershield products carry manufacturer warranties when applied by accredited painters according to their specifications — which we always do. If you experience any issues related to our workmanship during the warranty period, simply contact us and we will assess and rectify the problem at no cost to you. We take pride in standing behind every job we complete.

Absolutely. Choosing exterior colours is a big decision that affects your home's appearance and value for years to come. We offer colour consultation as part of our exterior painting service. We consider your home's architectural style, streetscape context, personal preferences, and any body corporate or heritage restrictions that may apply. We can provide sample pots so you can test colours on your actual walls in different lighting conditions before committing. We also stay informed about current trends and timeless colour combinations that work well on Melbourne homes. Whether you want something bold and contemporary or classic and understated, we will guide you to a choice you will love.

Yes. Auspainters holds full public liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, which is essential for exterior work involving heights, ladders, and scaffolding. We are proud members of the Master Painters Association, demonstrating our commitment to industry best practices, ethical business conduct, and ongoing professional development. Our Dulux Accreditation confirms we meet rigorous standards for product knowledge and application technique. All our team members are trained in safe working at heights procedures, proper equipment usage, and site safety protocols. You can request copies of our insurance certificates and accreditation documentation at any time.

One advantage of exterior painting is that you generally do not need to be present throughout the project, unlike interior work. We can arrange access, complete the work, and secure the property at day's end without disrupting your daily routine. We do appreciate someone being available at the start and end of each day if possible, and certainly for the initial briefing and final walkthrough. We keep you updated with progress photos and are always available by phone or text if questions arise. For added peace of mind, many clients install a temporary security camera during major exterior works, which we fully support.

Exterior painting costs vary widely depending on the size, condition, height, and complexity of your property. As a general guide, a small single-fronted terrace might start around $5,000-$8,000 for a basic repaint, while a large two-storey home requiring significant preparation could range from $15,000 to $30,000 or more. Factors affecting price include the number of storeys (requiring scaffolding), extent of timber repairs needed, number of coats required, accessibility of the site, and choice of paint products. The only way to receive an accurate price is through an on-site assessment, which we provide free of charge with no obligation.
