Painting period homes in Geelong West

A lot of Geelong West houses are 80 to 120 years old. That means decorative fretwork, timber windows, high ceilings with ornate cornices, and layers of old paint that need to be treated with respect. Rushing the prep on these homes is the fastest way to a finish that peels within a couple of years.

Our approach is slow where it matters: scraping and sanding back failing paint, filling and priming bare timber, repairing cracked plaster and cornices, and only then applying a quality paint system suited to the surface. In homes built before the 1970s, old coats may contain lead, so we test where needed and prepare those surfaces using safe work practices to protect your family and our team.

For renovations and extensions, we work alongside your builder and other trades so the new and old parts of the house finish up looking like they belong together.

Geelong West painting FAQs

Do you paint heritage weatherboard homes in Geelong West?

Yes. Period weatherboards are some of our favourite jobs. We repair and prime bare timber, re-putty windows where needed, and can suggest period-appropriate colour schemes. Some streets sit under a heritage overlay, so it’s worth checking with the City of Greater Geelong before changing exterior colours.

My old house has cracked plaster and cornices. Can you fix that before painting?

Yes. Plastering is done in-house by our project manager Gaven, who has been plastering for 17 years. We repair cracks, patches and damaged cornices so the paint goes onto a sound, smooth surface.

How quickly can you come out for a quote?

Because we’re based in Geelong West, we can usually get to you quickly. Call Simon on 0490 139 637 to book a time that suits.
