Top Rated Painters in Melbourne VIC

If you have a timber, concrete or Colorbond steel fence, chances are it will need painting to protect it from the elements and look good. Each surface will require a dedicated paint to ensure maximum durability and a perfect finish.

Fail to maintain your fence and the timber will start to crack, the paint will peel or it will become infected with mould or mildew.

Steel fencing is more durable if treated with a primer, and should last many years before it needs repainting. Concrete or brick fencing should need repainting every five years or, more often if you are near the coast.

Local painters can also help you with any timber maintenance, as wood needs more regular attention than other surfaces. The most common problems are paint flaking or timber rotting, especially on window frames and doors, balustrades and timber fascia that are exposed to the elements outdoors.

The first step is to strip old paint, fill holes or replace rotted sections, before sanding it and applying a primer coat. They will then apply a primer and at least two coats of a dedicated timber paint.

Roof painting is a specialised job that requires know-how and the right equipment for working at height, so is best left to local professional painters.

The first step is to pressure clean your roof, followed by a primer and a number of coats of a dedicated roof paint. Some of these are formulated to inhibit the growth of moss, algae, and lichen on your roof.

Colour consulting is a service offered by residential painters and interior decorators, where they help you choose a main colour, or combination of colours, for your home’s interior or exterior.
