Whole-house repaint logistics: sequencing and living through it

A whole-house repaint while the family is still living there needs planning. We usually work room by room or zone by zone so part of the house stays usable. Furniture gets moved, covered and moved back. Hallways and living areas are the hardest because they cannot be closed off for a full day.

Dust control is the other big factor. Sanding plaster throws fine dust that drifts through open doorways. We cover floors and furniture in the work zone, seal doorways where we can, and vacuum rather than sweep after sanding. Households with young children or asthma deserve a realistic picture of this at the quote.

Sequencing also protects the finish. Fresh exterior walls need time before the internal side of the same wall is rolled, otherwise trapped moisture shows up months later as bubbling along the junction.

On price, Melbourne house painting in 2026 runs roughly $20 to $60 per square metre inside and $30 to $80 outside. In practice that means a 3-bedroom full interior usually lands between $6,000 and $11,000, a single-storey weatherboard exterior between $10,000 and $18,000, and a single bedroom repaint between $650 and $950. Every quote we give is fixed-price after an on-site inspection, so the number in writing is the number you pay.

Most of our work sits within a half-hour of our Braybrook base: weatherboards in Yarraville, Williamstown and Footscray, cream-brick veneers through Essendon, Moonee Ponds and Sunshine, render and new builds out toward Werribee and Point Cook, and period homes across the inner north and bayside. Different suburbs, different surfaces, same preparation-first approach.

Common questions

Where is Modernize Solutions based?
We are based in Melbourne and have been painting homes across the city since 1987. We service suburbs across Melbourne's west, inner-north, inner-east and bayside areas.

Do you subcontract your painting work?
No. We never subcontract your job out to other painting companies. Our own in house team of painters handles every project from preparation through to the final coat. You always know who is working in your home.

Do your house painters handle both interiors and exteriors?
Yes. Our painters handle full interior and exterior painting, from single rooms through to complete whole-house repaints, plus weatherboard restoration, deck staining and more.

Do you offer a workmanship warranty?
Yes. Every job comes with a written workmanship warranty. We also carry $20 million in public liability insurance for your complete peace of mind.

What types of homes do your house painters work on?
We paint all Melbourne residential property types, period weatherboards, cream-brick veneer, double-brick, rendered homes, terrace houses and townhouses. From Federation-era character homes to modern builds, our preparation approach adapts to the surface.

Can your house painters match my existing paint colour?
Yes. We use Dulux colour-matching to match an existing colour from a sample chip, a painted surface or a Dulux colour reference. For ongoing touch-ups we note the colour in your project record so the match stays consistent.

What preparation do your house painters do before applying any paint?
Preparation is the bulk of the work. We fill cracks and holes, sand surfaces smooth, prime bare areas, repair any damaged substrate and mask everything that should not be painted. Paint is not applied until the surface is ready.

Do your house painters clean up at the end of each day?
Yes. We tidy the work zone at the end of every day, move furniture back where practical, and remove drop sheets from areas that are finished. We work in an occupied home, so we treat it with the same care we would want in our own.

How much do house painters charge in Melbourne?
In 2026, interior work runs roughly $20 to $60 per square metre and exterior work $30 to $80. A 3-bedroom full interior typically costs $6,000 to $11,000 and a single-storey weatherboard exterior $10,000 to $18,000. We quote fixed-price after a free on-site inspection, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
