Exterior Painting
Weatherboards, render, brick, fascia, gutters, and roofs. Built to handle Melbourne weather.

Exterior painting in Melbourne protects your home from UV, rain, wind, and temperature swings. Melbourne’s weather cycle puts serious stress on exterior surfaces. Paint breaks down faster here than in most Australian cities.

We paint exteriors across 20 Melbourne suburbs. Walls, fascia, gutters, eaves, and roofs. Every exterior job starts with a full assessment of the substrate. We check for peeling, cracking, mould, and rot before quoting. Surface preparation on an exterior takes longer than the painting itself. That is where the quality difference shows.

A full exterior repaint for a standard 3-bedroom weatherboard house depends on size, condition, and access. Larger homes, multi-level properties, and heritage facades cost more. We provide a fixed-price quote after a site inspection.

Exterior Painting Costs in Melbourne (2026 Guide)

Exterior painting is priced by the size, condition, and material of your home. Factors include surface type (weatherboard, render, brick), number of storeys, scaffolding requirements, and the extent of preparation needed.

Scaffolding costs depend on height and access. Heritage homes with detailed timber work cost more due to preparation time.

We provide a fixed-price written quote after a site inspection. The quote covers every surface, the preparation method, and the paint system.

Roof Painting and Restoration

Roof painting restores weathered, faded, and moss-covered roofs. A professionally painted roof extends the life of your tiles or metal sheets by up to 15 years. It also changes the look of your whole property.

Every roof paint job starts with high-pressure washing to remove moss, lichen, and dirt. We then repair cracked or broken tiles, re-bed and re-point ridge caps where needed, and apply a premium roof coating system.

Our roof painting process:

  1. Roof inspection. We check for cracked tiles, damaged pointing, rusted fixings, and structural issues.
  2. High-pressure wash at 3,000+ PSI to remove all moss, lichen, dirt, and loose material.
  3. Repairs. We replace broken tiles, re-bed and re-point ridge caps with flexible pointing compound.
  4. Primer coat suited to your tile type.
  5. Two coats of premium roof membrane paint to seal the surface and reflect UV.

Pricing depends on roof area in square metres, material type, and condition. A standard single-storey home has 150 to 250 square metres of roof area. Multi-level homes and steep pitches cost more due to access and safety requirements. We provide a written quote after inspecting your roof.

Best Time to Paint Exteriors in Melbourne

The best conditions for exterior painting are dry days above 10 degrees Celsius with low humidity. In Melbourne, this means September to May.

Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are the busiest periods. Book early if you want exterior work done before summer or before selling.

We do not paint exteriors in rain or when temperatures drop below 10 degrees. Paint applied in cold or damp conditions fails prematurely.

In Melbourne, a quality exterior paint job lasts 10 to 15 years on rendered surfaces and 7 to 10 years on timber weatherboards. Coastal suburbs like Elwood and St Kilda may need repainting sooner due to salt exposure.
Exterior painting stops when temperatures drop below 10 degrees Celsius. In Melbourne, this means limited exterior work from June to August. We focus on interior painting during winter.
We monitor weather forecasts daily. If rain is expected, we stop exterior painting and either move to interior work or reschedule. We never apply paint to wet or damp surfaces.
A quality roof paint system lasts 10 to 15 years on concrete tiles and 15 to 20 years on metal roofing. Longevity depends on the quality of preparation, the paint system used, and the roof’s exposure.
Roof paint is a surface coating. It seals minor porosity in tiles but does not fix structural leaks. If your roof leaks, we recommend a roofer inspect it before painting.
Yes. We replace cracked or broken tiles and re-bed loose ridge caps before painting. Painting over damaged tiles is a waste of money.
