Why Preston Chooses Modernize Solutions
A Preston bungalow painted in the right muted palette with crisp trim looks a class above the same house in builder white. Getting there is mostly preparation and colour judgement. We have painted Melbourne homes for more than three decades, and we handle the lot: interiors, exteriors, weatherboards, apartments and full renovation repaints, all with Dulux and a fixed written quote.
Can you suggest era-appropriate colours for a Californian bungalow?
Yes. Bungalows suit deeper, muted body colours with contrast picked out on fretwork, sashes and eaves brackets, and we can show you combinations that have worked on similar Preston homes at the quote visit. Heritage overlay considerations are worked within, not around. See the cost guide →
Our old walls are hard plaster with fine cracks. How do you handle that?
Interwar Preston homes usually have solid hard plaster rather than plasterboard. Fine cracks get raked out and filled with the right setting compound, and any drummy sections are flagged honestly before painting, because paint alone will not hold failing plaster.
Do you strip or repaint the original timber window frames?
Wherever the timber is sound we prepare and repaint rather than replace: sanding back flaking layers, priming bare timber and finishing in enamel. On pre-1970 homes we test for lead first and use safe wet methods where it is present.
What does a written quote include for a Preston home?
A fixed itemised price covering preparation, materials and labour, and the exact Dulux products. It is free and there is no obligation. Character homes vary a lot, which is why we always quote in person.
