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 do winter painting in Melbourne?
Yes. Interior winter painting can be done year-round regardless of weather. Exterior painting is also possible in Melbourne winters — we monitor temperature and humidity and schedule work when conditions are suitable.
Is winter a good time to paint interiors?
Winter is actually an excellent time for interior painting. The lower humidity helps paint cure evenly, and many homeowners are indoors more, making winter painting convenient.
What are the risks of painting in cold weather?
The main risk is applying paint below the minimum temperature, which can prevent proper curing and adhesion. We check conditions each day and only apply coatings when temperature and humidity are within manufacturer specifications.
Do you charge more for winter painting?
No. Our winter painting pricing is consistent year-round. Winter can actually be a great time to book as scheduling is often more flexible.
