Painters in Melville

Local painters who know Melville

We are painters in Melville, the established riverside suburb on the Swan River between the city and Fremantle. Melville housing is a mix of character homes from the mid-1900s, solid brick-and-tile houses from the 1960s and 70s, and renovated family homes. Streets around the river and near the old gardens are well established, with mature trees that shade large parts of many houses. We have painted enough of these homes to know how that shade affects the finish.

The older homes in Melville, particularly the brick-and-tile and clinker brick houses from the 1960s and 70s, are regular work for us. The render chalks, the eaves stain and peel, and the concrete tile roofs fade and lose their coating. A full exterior repaint with proper scraping, filling, and priming brings these homes back to looking new, and many owners pair it with a roof restoration for a coordinated finish.

There are also character homes in Melville from the earlier part of last century, with timber weatherboards and window frames that need more careful prep. We take extra care with these, matching the prep to the age of the timber and using quality coatings that respect the character of the home rather than stripping it out.

The river proximity matters in Melville. Homes near the Swan River, around the Melville waterway and the parks that run alongside it, get a gentler version of the salt influence and stronger morning dew. It is not the harsh salt spray you get on the coast, but it still makes proper preparation and quality exterior coatings worthwhile. A full interior repaint is a common add-on for families refreshing a home in this suburb.

A lot of our Melville work is on established family homes where the owners plan to stay, which means they care about the quality of the prep and the paint system rather than just the lowest price. They want a clean, sharp finish that lasts. We quote fixed prices so there are no surprises partway through the job.

Melville homes often have decent-sized gardens with mature trees, and we work around those when setting up ladders and scaffolds for exterior painting. We take the shade and the condition of the surfaces into account when quoting, so the price we give reflects the real job.
