Painters Melbourne
All Melbourne Handyman provides interior, exterior and commercial painting across Melbourne, from a single feature wall to a full house repaint. Our painters prepare every surface properly, apply the right paint system for it, and leave your home clean at the end of each day.
House Painters in Melbourne
House Painting Services in Melbourne
Because we are a handyman business as well as house painters, we fix the cracked plaster, rotten timber and sticking doors before we paint. The walls get repaired and painted by one team, under one quote.
We paint homes, units, rentals and business premises throughout Melbourne. Every job starts with an on-site look at the surfaces, because the condition of the walls decides how much preparation the paint needs to last.
Interior Painting
Our interior painters handle walls, ceilings, cornices, skirting boards, doors, window frames and built-in robes. We fill cracks and nail holes, sand glossy surfaces so the new coat bonds, and use stain-blocking primer over water marks and smoke stains so they do not bleed through.
For bedrooms, living areas and anywhere the family spends time, low-VOC paints keep the smell down and let you use the room sooner. For kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, we use washable, moisture-resistant finishes that handle steam and regular cleaning.
Exterior House Painting
Exterior paint protects your home from sun, rain and wind, so preparation matters even more outside. Our exterior house painters wash down the surface, scrape back loose and flaking paint, fill gaps and prime bare timber before any topcoat goes on.
We paint weatherboard, render, brick and timber, along with eaves, fascias, gutters, window frames, decks and fences. Weatherboard homes need extra care: split or rotted boards should be replaced, not painted over, or the new paint fails from underneath.
Commercial Painting
We also paint offices, shops and rental properties, and we can work around trading hours to keep disruption low. For larger commercial and strata projects, see our commercial painters in Melbourne page.
Repairs Included
Repairs Done Before the First Coat
Paint shows every flaw underneath it. A fresh coat over a cracked cornice or a soft window sill looks good for a few months, then the problem comes back through the finish.
You do not need to book a separate plasterer or carpenter first. Our team does the repair work before painting starts:
- Plaster repairs. Patching holes, fixing cracks and re-setting damaged corners and cornices. Our plasterer in Melbourne service covers larger jobs such as ceiling repairs.
- Timber repairs. Replacing rotted weatherboards, window sills and door jambs, and rehanging doors that stick. Bigger structural work is handled through our carpentry services.
- Small fixes on the day. Tightening loose skirting, replacing damaged architraves and resealing gaps around frames.
You get one team on site, one quote covering repairs and painting, and a finish that lasts because the surface underneath is sound.
- Consultation: we inspect the property, talk through colours and timing, and give a free, no-obligation quote
- Preparation: we cover furniture, lay drop sheets, mask edges, then clean, fill, sand and repair
- Priming: bare timber, new plaster, patches and stains get the correct primer or sealer
- Painting: topcoats by brush, roller or spray, with drying time between coats
- Finishing: we check every wall in good light, touch up, remove masking and clean up

Melbourne Conditions
Painting for Melbourne's Weather
Melbourne’s weather is hard on exterior paint. Strong summer UV breaks down paint on north- and west-facing walls first, and those walls usually fade and chalk years before the rest of the house.
Weather also affects when we paint. Cold, damp mornings and sudden afternoon showers can stop exterior paint from curing properly, so we schedule outdoor work around the forecast and hold off when the conditions are wrong. Interior painting can go ahead year round.
For more on choosing paint that handles local conditions, read our guide to the right paint for Melbourne weather.
Period Homes
Painting Older Melbourne Homes
Victorian terraces, Edwardian weatherboards and post-war brick homes are common across Melbourne, and each needs a different approach. Older homes can have lead-based paint in the lower layers. Sanding or heat-stripping it releases toxic dust, so we assess the paint before preparation starts and choose a safe method for the job.
Period homes also have original timber features, such as decorative fretwork, deep skirting boards and sash windows. We repair these where possible rather than replacing them, so the character of the house stays intact.

Pricing
What Affects the Cost of Painting a House in Melbourne
The price of a painting job comes down to a few clear factors:
- Size and number of rooms, including ceiling heights and stairwells.
- Surface condition. Heavy cracking, peeling paint or rotted timber adds preparation and repair time.
- Exterior access. Double-storey walls and steep blocks need extra equipment and safety setup.
- Detail work. Doors, window frames, cornices and fretwork take longer than flat walls.
- Paint system. Premium and specialist coatings cost more but last longer between repaints.
- Colour changes. Going from dark to light usually needs an extra coat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do painters charge in Melbourne?
The cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the surfaces and the paint system used. Rooms that need plaster or timber repairs cost more to paint than walls in good condition. We give a free, itemised quote after inspecting the property, so the price reflects your actual job.
Do you paint weatherboard houses?
Yes. We paint weatherboard homes regularly, including period weatherboards. We replace split or rotted boards before painting, because paint cannot fix timber that is already failing.
Can you paint while we are living in the house?
Yes. Most interior painting happens while families are at home. We work room by room, cover furniture and floors, and clean up at the end of each day so the house stays usable.
How long does it take to paint a house?
A single room usually takes a day or two, including preparation and drying time. A full interior or exterior repaint takes longer, depending on the size of the home, the repairs needed and, for exterior work, the weather. Your quote includes an estimated timeframe.
Are your painters insured?
Yes. All Melbourne Handyman is fully insured for the painting work we carry out on your property.
