We’re happy to discuss paint options and colours during your free quote.
How do I prepare my home before the painters arrive?
We handle most of the preparation work including covering floors and furniture, masking off areas, sanding, gap filling, and priming. All we ask is that you move small personal items, valuables, and breakables away from the walls being painted. We’ll take care of moving larger furniture if needed.
Do you provide a warranty on your painting work?
Yes, we stand behind the quality of our work. All our painting projects come with a workmanship warranty. The specific warranty period depends on the scope of the project and will be outlined in your quote. We use high-quality paints that also carry their own manufacturer warranties.
Can you help with colour selection?
Absolutely! Choosing the right colours can be overwhelming, so we offer colour consulting to help you find the perfect palette for your home. We consider factors like natural light, room size, existing furnishings, and your personal style. We can also provide sample pots so you can see colours on your walls before committing.
Do you do heritage and period home restoration?
Yes, heritage restoration is one of our specialties. We have over 15 years of experience working with Melbourne’s beautiful period homes, including Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco properties. We understand the unique requirements of heritage painting including traditional colour schemes, lead paint management, and working with ornate details like cornices, skirting boards, and decorative mouldings.
