Modernize Solutions Serving Braybrook and the West

Weatherboard is the housing stock of the inner west. Californian bungalows and workers cottages through Yarraville, Seddon, Kingsville and Newport, plenty of them a century old and carrying lead paint under the top layers. Boards get washed, scraped back to a sound edge, rotted sections cut out and replaced, and the lot primed before a topcoat goes near it. We are Melbourne house painters based in Braybrook, family owned and working across the west since 1987.

Weatherboard Painting questions

Weatherboard preparation, board by board

Weatherboard fails at the end grain and the bottom edge of each board, where water sits and wicks in. If those were never sealed, paint comes off in sheets no matter what went over the top.

Do you paint weatherboard homes in Braybrook and nearby suburbs?

Yes, it is most of our exterior work. Weatherboard is common right across Footscray, Yarraville, Seddon and the rest of the western suburbs, and we quote it board by board from a Braybrook base.

How long does a weatherboard repaint last?

Seven to ten years in Melbourne conditions when the bare timber was primed properly. North and west walls cop the most UV and go first, so those elevations show wear before the shaded southern side.

Is my paint likely to be lead-based?

If the house was painted before 1970, assume yes until tested. Lead paint changes how we sand and contain the site, and it adds to the quote, so we test rather than guess.
