What to check before repainting

For suburb-specific housing context and direct local service pages, use the main service-area directory.

Start with the property, not the region
Northern Melbourne contains Victorian and Edwardian houses, interwar bungalows, post-war brick and timber homes, units and recent townhouses. Browse the service-area directory for the ten in-depth suburb pages.
Weatherboards and timber detail
Existing coating adhesion, exposed timber, moisture, board condition and access determine the preparation. Rotten or unsafe timber needs repair before coating.
Moisture and mould sequencing
Paint is not a cure for active damp or mould. The cause must be addressed and the substrate cleaned, dried and stabilised before suitable repainting.
Period homes and planning controls
Period-home repainting is different from formal conservation. Owners should check address-specific heritage controls before changing controlled exterior colours or painting unpainted fabric.

How quoting works

Get in touch
Call, send a WhatsApp message, or leave your name, phone number, suburb and what needs painting in the short form. A further description of the job is optional. For a small job, useful photos, your suburb and preferred timing sent on WhatsApp can get you an initial estimate from Kian.
Kian reviews the job
He reviews the surfaces, their condition and the access — from your photos, suburb and timing for a suitable small job, or with an on-site visit for anything larger or unclear — then talks through what you want painted or repaired.
You get a written quote
The quote sets out the agreed surfaces, preparation and price, confirmed once Kian has reviewed the scope, condition and access — a visit may still be needed. Photos alone do not fix a final quote.
