Smoke Damaged Ceiling Painting Melbourne

Smoke stains bleed through ordinary paint. We clean the surface, apply specialist stain-blocking primers that seal both stains and odour, then topcoat for a clean, bright result.

The Modernize team provided a totally professional outcome to the painting of our internal rooms. Care and attention to detail are the hallmark of their preparation of all surfaces and the application of the required number of coatings to achieve a superior finish. Most approachable to discuss client wishes and a pleasure to interact with. Prompt in meeting agreed work schedules and always leaving with all materials cleared carefully away. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. We had our kitchen, bathroom and laundry repainted and the transformation is remarkable. The team was meticulous with masking and preparation, you can see the care in the final result. They even helped us choose the perfect Dulux colours for each room. Genuinely lovely people to have in your home.

Used Modernize to paint the exterior of our brick home including fascias, gutters, window frames and the front fence. The prep work was extensive with proper washing, sanding and priming before any topcoats. The crew were friendly, always cleaned up at the end of each day, and the finished result is exactly what we wanted. Great value for money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you restore a smoke damaged ceiling?
Yes, but proper preparation is essential. We clean the surface, apply a specialist stain-blocking primer that seals smoke damaged ceiling stains and odour, then topcoat with premium ceiling paint for a clean, bright finish.
Will smoke stains bleed through new paint?
Not if prepared correctly. We use a shellac-based or specialist stain-blocking primer that completely seals smoke and nicotine stains on a smoke damaged ceiling. Standard primer is not sufficient — the right product is critical.
Can you remove the smoke smell from ceilings?
Our stain-blocking primers encapsulate smoke residue and significantly reduce odour. For severe smoke damage, we may recommend an initial chemical wash before priming and painting.
How long does smoke damaged ceiling repair take?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the size of the area. A single room typically takes two to three days including cleaning, priming and two topcoats. Larger areas or severe smoke damaged ceiling work may take longer.
