Painters in Airport West

Modernize Solutions has painted Airport West homes since 1987, with deep experience on its solid post-war brick. Airport West is a settled northern suburb built largely on solid post-war homes, the kind of well-made 1950s and 1960s brick houses that reward a proper repaint. The streets around Clydesdale Road and Hawker Street are full of them, and many are now being renovated and extended as new owners move in.

These post-war homes have their own requirements. The brickwork, render and original timber all need the right preparation, and on a home of this era the difference between a repaint that lasts and one that fails is almost always in the groundwork. We assess each surface, match the right Dulux product and prepare properly.

We have painted northern suburbs homes since 1987. More than three decades of working on these post-war homes means we know the housing stock around Airport West and what it takes to get a finish that holds up.

What we paint in Airport West

Airport West is built largely on solid 1950s and 1960s brick homes, the kind that reward a proper repaint. On a home of this era the result comes down to the groundwork rather than the topcoat.

Post-war brickwork

The brick and render on these homes need cleaning and the right preparation before paint goes on. We do the groundwork properly so the finish lasts rather than fails early.

Original timber

The original timber trim, eaves and windows on a post-war home often need attention. We repair and prime the timber before topcoating so it holds up to the weather.

Renovation and extensions

Plenty of Airport West homes are being renovated and extended. We work in around the build and prepare both the old and new sections so the paintwork reads as one home.

Interior repaints

Inside these homes we prep the walls and trim properly, fill and sand back, and finish in Dulux for a clean, even result.

What a paint job costs in Airport West

Every quote is itemised and fixed before we start, with no surprises on the invoice. On a post-war home the cost is mostly in the preparation, so brick or render that needs repair and timber that needs attention add time, and we set it all out in writing up front.

Common questions

What does it cost to repaint a post-war home in Airport West?

It depends on the size of the home, the condition of the existing paint and how much preparation is needed. We do not quote blind over the phone, because every home is different. We come out, assess it in person and give you a detailed written quote at no cost and with no obligation.

Do you work around renovations and extensions in Airport West?

Yes. Many Airport West homes are being renovated or extended, and we are used to fitting in alongside builders and other trades. We coordinate with the construction timeline and blend new work with the original so the finished result looks like one cohesive job.

Do you paint the brick and render on Airport West homes?

Yes. Post-war brick and rendered surfaces are common around Airport West, and both need the right preparation and product to last. We clean, repair and prime as needed, then finish in a quality Dulux product suited to the surface. Preparation is what makes the difference on these homes.

Are you insured to work on my Airport West home?

Yes. We carry $20M public liability insurance for all residential painting work, with a certificate of currency available on request. We are owner-operated, never subcontract your job out and back every project with a written workmanship warranty.

Who are the most experienced house painters in Melbourne?

Does Modernize Solutions guarantee its painting work?

Yes. Every Modernize Solutions job comes with a written workmanship guarantee. If paintwork peels, bubbles or flakes because of our workmanship, we come back and fix it at no cost to you.
