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

Should I choose deck staining or deck painting?

It depends on the timber type and the look you want. Deck staining adds colour while showing natural grain, and deck painting gives a solid opaque finish. Oil is a third option for showcasing bare timber. We can advise on the best option during a free on-site assessment.

How often does a deck need re-oiling in Melbourne?

Most Melbourne decks need re-oiling every one to two years. Covered decks may last longer, while decks in full sun or high-traffic areas may need more frequent attention.

Can you restore a grey, weathered deck?

Yes. We strip, sand and treat weathered timber to bring back the natural colour before applying your chosen deck staining or deck painting finish. Most decks can be restored to look close to new.

What preparation does a deck need before staining?

We high-pressure wash the deck, sand the timber smooth, treat any mould and allow the timber to dry before applying the stain or oil. Proper preparation ensures the coating penetrates and lasts.
