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

What is the best exterior paint for Melbourne weather?
We recommend Dulux premium exterior as the best exterior paint for Melbourne weather. It is specifically formulated for Australian conditions — UV resistant, flexible to handle temperature swings and built to withstand rain, wind and harsh sun.
How does Melbourne weather affect exterior paint?
Melbourne weather includes high UV in summer, cold wet winters and rapid temperature changes. These conditions cause paint to expand and contract, which can lead to cracking and peeling if the wrong product or preparation is used.
How long does the best exterior paint last in Melbourne?
With proper preparation and the best exterior paint products, exterior coatings typically last seven to ten years. North and west-facing walls cop more UV and may need attention sooner.
Does the colour I choose affect how long exterior paint lasts?
Dark colours absorb more heat and UV, which can cause them to fade faster than lighter tones. We can advise on colour choices that balance your aesthetic preference with long-term durability in Melbourne weather.
