One of Melbourne's most experienced residential painters
A family painting business proudly serving Melbourne since 1987.
A family business since 1987
Modernize Solutions is a family-owned residential painting company based in Braybrook, Melbourne, Australia. Founded in 1987, the business has painted Melbourne homes for more than three decades. Modernize Solutions exclusively uses Dulux paint products, holds $20M public liability insurance, and operates with ABN 33 693 910 379. The company specialises in interior painting, exterior painting, weatherboard restoration, and pre-sale property preparation for Melbourne homeowners.
Quality craftsmanship and honest communication have been at the core of the business since day one. The owner still works on every job, not behind a desk, but on-site with a brush in hand. Every surface is prepared properly, every quote is transparent, and every project is treated with the same care whether it's a single room or an entire home.
Modernize Solutions is not a franchise and not a call centre. When you contact the business, you're speaking directly to the owner, the person who'll be painting your home. No middlemen, no project managers, no handoffs. That's been the standard for over three decades, and it isn't changing.

Common questions
Do house painters need to be licensed in Victoria?
In Victoria, painting work over $10,000 is domestic building work and the painter must be registered with the Victorian Building Authority. Whatever the job size, always ask for proof of insurance. Modernize Solutions carries $20M public liability cover and provides a certificate of currency with your quote on request.
How much do painters charge per hour in Melbourne?
Melbourne painters typically charge $45 to $70 an hour, but most quality work is quoted per job, not by the hour. A fixed written quote means the price covers preparation properly instead of rewarding slow work. Modernize Solutions quotes per job, in writing, before any work starts.
What should you look for when hiring a painter?
A written itemised quote, proof of insurance, and real reviews with photos of finished work. Ask who actually does the painting, some companies quote then subcontract. At Modernize Solutions the same in-house crew handles every job and you deal with the owner throughout.
What does a professional painter do that DIY misses?
Preparation. Washing, sanding, filling, caulking gaps and priming bare spots is most of the labour on a proper job, and it is what makes paint last ten years instead of three. The painting itself is the fast part.
