Is it worth repainting inside before the house is even 15 years old?
Often, yes. Builder-grade interior paint marks easily and cleans poorly, which is why walls in younger homes look tired fast, especially with kids. A washable low-sheen acrylic resets the interior and takes day-to-day cleaning without burnishing. See the cost guide →
Why do the walls in our newer Craigieburn home mark so easily?
Builders spray a thin, flat, low-cost white because it only has to look clean at handover. Flat paint holds marks and rubs shiny if scrubbed. A washable low-sheen acrylic means scuffs wipe off with a damp cloth instead of becoming permanent.
Do you paint window frames and trim as well?
Yes. Timber window frames, sills, skirtings and architraves are sanded, filled and finished in enamel along with the walls, so the whole room is done in one visit.
What should we budget to repaint a Craigieburn house inside?
Estate homes quote at the friendlier end because the walls are young and sound, so most of the price is paint quality rather than repair time. We quote in person, free and fixed in writing. Our Melbourne cost guide has typical ranges if you want numbers first.
