Essendon Painters

Essendon is one of Melbourne's most established residential suburbs, with a housing stock rich in Edwardian weatherboards, Californian bungalows and inter-war brick homes. Streets like Rose Street, Buckley Street and Mount Alexander Road feature some of the finest period homes in the north-west, many with original timber details, decorative brickwork and heritage-listed facades.

Homeowners in Essendon take pride in maintaining the character of their properties. We've been painting Essendon homes for decades, working with the full range of substrates — from century-old weatherboards on Glass Street to rendered inter-war villas on Pascoe Vale Road. Our preparation-first approach ensures every Essendon paint job lasts.

The Modernize team provided a totally professional outcome to the painting of our internal rooms. Care and attention to detail are the hallmark of their preparation of all surfaces and the application of the required number of coatings to achieve a superior finish. Most approachable to discuss client wishes and a pleasure to interact with. Prompt in meeting agreed work schedules and always leaving with all materials cleared carefully away. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. We had our kitchen, bathroom and laundry repainted and the transformation is remarkable. The team was meticulous with masking and preparation, you can see the care in the final result. They even helped us choose the perfect Dulux colours for each room. Genuinely lovely people to have in your home.

Used Modernize to paint the exterior of our brick home including fascias, gutters, window frames and the front fence. The prep work was extensive with proper washing, sanding and priming before any topcoats. The crew were friendly, always cleaned up at the end of each day, and the finished result is exactly what we wanted. Great value for money.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle Essendon's older weatherboard homes?

Essendon has some of the best-preserved weatherboard homes in Melbourne's north-west. We inspect every board for rot and damage, carry out timber repairs, scrape and sand thoroughly, then apply Dulux premium exterior paint for maximum protection. Proper preparation is everything with weatherboard homes.

Can you paint the exterior of heritage-listed Essendon homes?

Yes. We work within heritage overlay guidelines and can recommend period-appropriate colour schemes. We use the Dulux Heritage range and can liaise with council if heritage permits are required for your property.

What is the best time to paint an Essendon home exterior?

Autumn and spring are ideal for exterior painting in Essendon — mild temperatures and lower humidity give the best results. However, we work year-round and monitor conditions carefully to ensure proper curing of every coat.

Do you do pre-sale painting in Essendon?

Yes, pre-sale painting is one of our most requested services in Essendon. We work with local real estate agents and can turn around a full repaint within your sales timeline. A quality repaint is one of the highest-ROI improvements you can make before selling.
