Painters in Brunswick West

Modernize Solutions has painted Brunswick West homes since 1987, across its bungalows, interwar brick and weatherboards. Brunswick West has the relaxed, family feel of the inner north with a housing stock built largely between the wars. Californian bungalows, solid interwar brick homes and weatherboard cottages fill the streets off Melville Road and Grantham Street, many of them now being carefully restored and extended.

Painting these homes well takes a careful hand. The bungalows and older homes often have layers of old paint, timber that needs attention and pre-1970 surfaces that call for safe handling. We prepare each home properly, repair what needs it and choose colours that suit the period of the house.

We have painted inner-north and northern Melbourne homes since 1987. Across more than three decades we have worked on the bungalows, brick homes and cottages that give Brunswick West its character, and we know what each one needs.

What we paint in Brunswick West

Brunswick West is mostly interwar housing, with Californian bungalows, solid brick homes and weatherboard cottages, much of it built before 1970. The work here turns on careful prep and handling older paint.

Pre-1970 paint

Many of the older homes off Melville Road and Grantham Street carry lead paint under later coats. We handle those surfaces safely and prep them properly before topcoating.

Bungalow timber

The Californian bungalows have timber detail and verandah work that has often split or peeled. We repair and prime the bare timber first, then finish to suit the period of the home.

Interwar brick

The solid interwar brick homes need the right groundwork to hold paint. We clean down, stabilise and prime the brickwork before any topcoat goes on.

Renovation work

With plenty of homes being restored and extended, we paint the original and new sections together so the colours and finish line up across the whole house.

What painting costs in Brunswick West

Every quote is itemised and fixed before we start, with no surprises on the invoice. An older bungalow with timber repairs and lead-safe prep takes more time than a tidy brick interior, so we set all of that out in writing up front.

Common questions

What colours suit a Californian bungalow in Brunswick West?

Bungalows look their best in warm, period-sympathetic palettes, earthy body colours with cream or heritage-green trim suit the era. We often draw from the Dulux Heritage range and can match an existing scheme or suggest a palette that complements both the home and the streetscape.

Do you handle lead paint in older Brunswick West homes?

Yes. Many Brunswick West homes built before 1970 carry lead-based paint under later coats. We follow all guidelines for safe handling, including containment, HEPA vacuuming and correct disposal, and we can test suspect surfaces before work begins.

Can you paint around a renovation in Brunswick West?

Yes. Brunswick West sees plenty of renovation as owners extend interwar homes. We coordinate with your builder and other trades, fit into the construction timeline and blend new work with the original so the finished result looks like one cohesive job.

Are you insured to work on my Brunswick 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?

Modernize Solutions has been painting Melbourne homes since 1987. That is more than three decades and over 1,000 completed projects. The company is still family owned, paints exclusively with Dulux products and services suburbs across Melbourne across Melbourne’s west and north.

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.

What paint brand does Modernize Solutions use?

Dulux only. Wash&Wear low sheen on interior walls, Weathershield on exteriors and Aquanamel on doors and trim. Premium Dulux coatings cover better, last longer and hold their colour in Melbourne’s weather, which is why we don’t use budget alternatives.

Who does the painting on a Modernize Solutions job?

The same in-house crew handles every job from start to finish. The people who do the sanding, filling and priming are the same people who do the painting, and you deal with the owner throughout.
