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

Do you handle lead paint in older Footscray homes?
Yes. Many Footscray homes built before 1970 have lead-based paint. We follow all EPA guidelines for safe lead paint removal and encapsulation, including proper containment, HEPA vacuuming and waste disposal. We can test suspect surfaces before work begins.
What colours suit Footscray's Victorian terraces?
Heritage palettes work beautifully on Footscray terraces. We often use the Dulux Heritage range — deep greens, burgundies and creams for exteriors, with lighter period-appropriate tones inside. We can match existing heritage colours or suggest a palette that respects the streetscape.
How long does it take to paint a Footscray weatherboard cottage?
A typical Footscray weatherboard cottage takes seven to ten working days for a full exterior repaint, depending on preparation needed. Many older weatherboards require timber repairs, scraping and multiple primer coats before topcoating.
Can you paint during Footscray's busy renovation season?
Absolutely. We work year-round and can coordinate with your builder or other trades. We schedule around your timeline and can stage the work to keep disruption to a minimum.
