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

How much does it cost to paint a house in Melbourne?
Every home is different. House painting cost depends on the size of the property, the condition of the surfaces, the number of coats required and the products used. We provide free, detailed quotes based on an on-site inspection so you know exactly what is included.
What factors affect house painting cost?
The main factors are the size of the area being painted, the amount of preparation required, the height and accessibility of surfaces, the type of paint used and the number of coats needed. Homes in poor condition typically require more preparation, which affects the overall cost.
Do you provide free quotes?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes based on a thorough on-site inspection. Our quotes are detailed and transparent — you will see exactly what is included and what it costs.
Is it worth paying more for a quality painter?
Absolutely. A quality paint job lasts significantly longer, looks better and protects your home properly. Cutting corners on preparation or using cheap paint leads to peeling, fading and the need to repaint much sooner.
