Exterior Painting Is About Protection, Not Just Appearance
An exterior repaint that looks good on day one but fails early is not a good result. Melbourne’s UV exposure, summer heat, winter moisture, overnight temperature shifts and wind all place stress on exterior coatings.
The finish depends on preparation, primer selection and coating compatibility — not just the top coat.
We assess:
- Existing coating adhesion and condition
- Surface moisture and contamination
- Crack and damage locations and causes
- Timber condition and exposure
- Coating history and compatibility
Only then do we specify the preparation scope, primer system and coating product appropriate for the surface and its conditions.
Exterior Surfaces We Paint
Brick Veneer Homes
Painted brick, render, and masonry surfaces may require suitable masonry coatings that allow for moisture movement where appropriate. We assess the surface and existing coating before specifying the system.
Rendered Surfaces
Render on brick or Hebel requires a crack assessment before painting. Hairline cracks can often be managed with suitable fillers or membrane systems. Larger or structural cracking should be investigated before painting.
Eaves, Fascia and Soffits
Eaves and fascia are among the highest-risk surfaces for premature paint failure — moisture from above, UV from below, and timber movement. We inspect, repair, prime, and coat these areas as part of the defined exterior scope.
Timber Windows, Doors and Frames
Timber windows and doors require specific preparation — sanding, filling, selecting the correct primer, and applying an appropriate enamel or acrylic finish. We assess the timber’s condition, including rot, cracking, and joint integrity, before starting.
Fences and Gates
Timber and Colorbond fences can be included in an exterior job. Timber fences require preparation, an appropriate primer and a UV-resistant topcoat. We assess and advise on whether repainting or replacement makes more sense for heavily weathered timber.

Exterior Painting Costs — What to Expect
Exterior painting costs vary based on property size, surface type, condition and the amount of preparation required. As a general guide for South East Melbourne homes:
Exterior Painting Costs
Painting Service | Typical Guide Range |
|---|---|
Exterior trim only — brick veneer | $2,000 – $5,000+ |
Full exterior — single-storey brick/render | $5,000 – $11,000+ |
Full exterior — single-storey weatherboard | $8,000 – $16,000+ |
Full exterior — double-storey brick/render | $12,000 – $22,000+ |
Full exterior — double-storey weatherboard | $16,000 – $30,000+ |
Full home repaint — 3-bed brick/render (interior + exterior) | $18,000 – $30,000+ |
Notes:
Double-storey homes often require scaffolding or suitable access equipment to meet safe work requirements. This can add $2,000–$5,000 to the cost, depending on the site.
We provide a written fixed-price quote after inspecting the property and surfaces. Cost is determined by what the job actually requires — not a default rate applied without looking.
For weatherboard homes, the exterior painting process includes timber assessment, end-grain sealing and repairs before any coating is applied.
