Painters in Niddrie

Modernize Solutions has painted Niddrie homes since 1987, with deep experience on its solid post-war brick. Niddrie is one of the northern suburbs steady performers, a settled, well-kept area built largely on solid post-war brick homes. The streets running off Keilor Road and around Hoffmans Road are full of the kind of 1950s and 1960s houses that were built to last and reward a proper repaint, and plenty are now being renovated and extended.

Those post-war homes have their own requirements. The brickwork, render and original timber all need the right preparation, and 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 before a drop of topcoat goes on.

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 Niddrie and what it takes to get a finish that holds up.

What we paint in Niddrie

Niddrie is built largely on solid 1950s and 1960s brick homes off Keilor Road and Hoffmans Road, many now being renovated and extended. These post-war homes were built to last and reward a proper repaint, and the difference is almost always in the groundwork.

Post-war brick

The brick and render on these homes need cleaning down and the right preparation before any topcoat. We assess each surface, prime where it is needed and match the Dulux product to suit so the finish holds.

Original timber

The original eaves, fascias and window timber on a 1960s home often need attention. We repair and prime the bare timber before painting so the coat does not lift later.

Renovation matching

With plenty of homes being extended, we match the original sections to the new build so it finishes as one home. We work around the renovation so the painting fits the timeline.

Interior walls

Inside, we fill, sand and prep walls and ceilings for a clean, even finish. Any patched or repaired plaster gets sorted properly before the topcoat goes on.

What a paint job costs in Niddrie

Every quote is itemised and fixed before we start, with no surprises on the invoice. A sound brick home costs less than one needing timber repair or render patching, so we set the preparation out in writing up front.

Common questions

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

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 Niddrie?

Yes. Many Niddrie 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 rather than two.

Do you paint the brick and render on Niddrie homes?

Yes. Post-war brick and rendered surfaces are common around Niddrie, 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.
