What kinds of services do painters in Melbourne provide?

As the region develops with new and different types of structures, there's also an increasing demand for a range of painting services in Melbourne. With renovation projects reaching an all-time high, more and more local painters are introducing specialised and expert painting services to enhance their clients' properties. Below are some of the most common painting services provided in Melbourne:

Interior painting

Interior painting involves applying paint to the internal surfaces of a property, such as walls, ceilings, doors and windows. This type of painting job is perfect for renovating or redecorating a room as it can completely change the look and feel of a space. Interior painters can also provide bathroom painting services.

The process of interior painting typically starts with the preparation of the surface that needs to be painted. This means cleaning the surfaces, sanding them down and applying a primer. Once the surface is prepared, the painter will start using a brush, roller or sprayer to paint walls. Once the paint is applied, it must dry before any furniture or belongings can be moved back into the room. The entire process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the size of the number of surfaces that need to be painted.

Exterior painting

Exterior painting projects encompasses all external surfaces of a property, such as walls, roofs, gutters, fascia boards, windows, and doors. This painting job is perfect for protecting your home or business from the natural elements and giving it a fresh new look.

The process of exterior painting begins with a thorough pressure wash of the surfaces that need to be painted. This removes any dirt, grime or build-up that could prevent the paint from adhering to the surface. Exterior painters will also sand down exterior surfaces and fill any cracks or holes with caulking before picking up their brush. Once the surface is clean and smooth, the painter will apply multiple coats on the exterior surface. Multiple coats are integral to exterior jobs to ensure the longevity of the paint.

Decorative painting

Decorative painting is a type of painting that's used to add interest or dimension to a surface. It can involve techniques such as sponging, ragging, colour washing and stencilling. This type of painting job is ideal for those who want to add personality and style to their home or business.

Decorative painting processes will vary based on the desired effect. For example, the process of sponging will involve applying a basecoat of paint to a surface and then dabbing the second colour of paint over the top with a sponge. In contrast, the ragging process simply entails dragging a piece of cloth through a freshly painted surface to create a textured effect.
No matter what type of decorative paint job you're after, it's best to leave it to the professionals as they have the experience and expertise to achieve the desired result.

Paint stripping

As the name implies, paint stripping is a type of service which involves removing paint from a surface completely. You may need paint stripping for a variety of reasons, including removing lead-based paint, preparing a surface for a new coat of paint or removing paint that's in poor condition.

The process of paint stripping typically begins with the application of a stripper solution. This solution will need to be left on the surface for a substantial period of time so that it can remove old paint completely. Paint stripping is a detailed and time-consuming process, meaning it's important to hire a painter with an extremely professional record if you want a quality job done.

  • Semi-gloss: A shiny finish that resists moisture, making it perfect for painting trims, doors and windows.
  • High-gloss: The shiniest paint finish that's easy to clean but also shows any imperfections in the surface.

An experienced painter can recommend which finish your painting project should use based on the type of surface being painted and the area it's located in.
