Painters in Sunshine

Modernize Solutions has painted Sunshine homes since 1987, with our Braybrook base right next door. Sunshine is one of the western suburbs great workhorses, a place with real history and a housing stock to match. Post-war brick veneers and weatherboard homes fill the streets around Hampshire Road and Devonshire Road, with older Edwardian cottages closer to the station, and a steady stream of renovation as new owners move in.

Each of those eras needs a different hand. A solid 1950s brick veneer prepares differently to an Edwardian weatherboard, and getting the preparation right is what separates a repaint that lasts from one that peels in a couple of years. We assess the surface, match the right Dulux product and do the groundwork properly.

We are based right next door in Braybrook and have painted Sunshine homes since 1987. More than three decades in the western suburbs means we know the local homes and the finishes that hold up here.

What we paint in Sunshine

Sunshine spans several eras, from Edwardian cottages near the station to post-war brick veneers and weatherboards. Each one prepares differently, and getting the prep right is what makes a repaint last.

Post-war brick veneer

The solid 1950s brick veneers around Hampshire Road need the surface cleaned and any render made good before paint. We prepare the brick and render and match the right Dulux system so the coat holds.

Edwardian cottages

The older cottages near the station often have layers of old paint and timber that needs work. We repair the timber, handle the older paint safely and finish in colours that suit the period.

Weatherboard homes

Sunshine weatherboards need proper timber prep to last. We scrape back flaking paint, prime bare timber and use Dulux Weathershield on the exterior so it does not peel in a couple of years.

Renovation work

Plenty of Sunshine homes are being renovated as new owners move in. We work in around the build, matching old and new sections so the finish reads as one across the whole house.

What painting costs in Sunshine

Every quote is itemised and fixed before we start, with no surprises on the invoice. On Sunshine homes the cost tracks the age and surface of the house, since an Edwardian weatherboard needs more timber and paint prep than a solid brick veneer, and we set it all out in writing up front.

Common questions

What does it cost to repaint a brick veneer in Sunshine?

The cost depends on the size of the home, the state of the existing paint and the preparation required. We do not give numbers over the phone without seeing the home, because every house is different. We come out, assess it in person and give you a detailed written quote at no cost.

Do you paint Edwardian cottages near Sunshine station?

Yes. The older cottages closer to the station often need timber repairs, careful preparation and period-appropriate colours. We handle the timber work, prepare the surfaces properly and can suggest a heritage palette that suits the age of the home and the street.

Can you work around a renovation in Sunshine?

Yes. Sunshine sees plenty of renovation work as new owners update older 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 reads as one home.

Are you a local Sunshine painting business?

We are based in neighbouring Braybrook and have worked across Sunshine since 1987. We are owner-operated and never subcontract your job out, we use premium Dulux products and we carry $20M public liability insurance, with a certificate of currency available on request.

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.

Are Modernize Solutions’ painters insured?

Yes. Modernize Solutions holds $20M public liability insurance for all residential painting work, and a certificate of currency is available with your quote on request.

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.

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.
