Cracked walls and ceilings
Decades of movement leave cracks at cornices, around doors and across ceilings. We rake out, fill, tape and sand them where needed, so the repaired areas disappear under the new paint.

Painting Thomastown homes
Thomastown's housing mostly dates from the post-war boom of the 1950s to the 1970s, when brick and weatherboard homes went up near the station and High Street. Many blocks have since been subdivided into units. Older walls, ceilings and timberwork are where a repaint either lasts or doesn't.
Decades of movement leave cracks at cornices, around doors and across ceilings. We rake out, fill, tape and sand them where needed, so the repaired areas disappear under the new paint.
Original timber window frames, eaves and doors need scraping, sanding and priming. Well-prepared trims make a big difference to how the whole house looks from the street.
Units are often repainted between tenants or before sale. Neutral colours, repaired walls and fresh ceilings make a property easier to lease or sell.
Older wet areas often show peeling ceilings and mould marks. These are cleaned, treated and painted with a product suited to humid rooms.

Pricing guidance
In Thomastown the amount of plaster repair has a big effect on price. A home with sound walls costs much less to repaint than one with widespread cracking or damaged ceilings. Room count, ceiling condition and the number of trims and doors also matter.
For exteriors, the condition of the timber trims and how much old paint has to come off drive most of the cost. We visit for free and send a written, itemised quote that separates repairs from painting.
