Recent Bedroom Painting reviews in Melbourne

Mario is a real legend! I could not have been happier with the work. From my initial interaction I was impressed with Mario's Knowledge, Professionalism and experience as well as his great work ethic. Mario may not be the cheapest offer you get on airtasker but he is certainly the best! Don't be tempted to go with non professional painters... I made that mistake once and was very disappointed. Mario is a real professional painter not a handyman! He has professional equipment and works with only the highest quality paint. He is not just a professional painter but a professional plasterer as well. He spent 2 days just fixing up the bad work left by the previous handyman who attempted to paint my apartment. Lesson I learnt is: Do the job once and do it properly. The end result is amazing and my apartment looks brand new. Seriously, you get what you pay for. Don't go for anyone else!

What does a painting service include?

Usually, painting services will include the full process from setup and preparation to painting and final clean up. Some common painting services include:

House painting

House painting services involve a range of tasks to transform both the interiors and exteriors of your home. Expert house painters can walk you through the entire painting process–from colour consultation and surface preparation to paint application.

  • Interior painting - Painting your interior walls will give your space a fresh new look, help reduce cooking smells, control mould, and remove fingerprints and marks. A professional painter with a Certificate IV license will choose paints to suit the style and function of your kitchen, bedroom, ceiling, or bathroom. Preparation starts with removing or covering furniture and putting down drop sheets, along with washing any wall surfaces. Your painter will repair any surface holes then sand rough areas and prime if needed. To paint walls and ceilings, your painter will start by cutting in with a small brush, before covering the remaining surfaces with a roller brush. They may apply 2-3 coats to create a smooth, even surface. Finally, your painter will clean up by washing out the brushes and rollers, folding up drop any cloths, and removing the tape from windows and outlets.
  • Exterior painting - It’s important to maintain paintwork for your home’s exterior, not only for your home’s value and first impressions but because it’s constantly exposed to the elements. You’ll need to repaint weatherboards every few years, plus fences, gutters, window-sills, and doorways every 5-10 years to maintain a fresh look. When you hire an exterior painter, they’ll usually sand back and prep the area, taking off any cracked or peeling paint, and then prime and paint the surfaces. They’ll choose a paint designed for your climate and structure to ensure it lasts. Once they’re finished, your painter will inspect for any missed spots and check the edges are all neat.

Graffiti and murals

Your business, nursery, or feature wall will stand out from the crowd with a graffiti mural, or larger-than-life artwork. If you have a design ready to go, your painter can enlarge this onto your walls, or design a custom piece for your home or office. Your painter will prepare the surface by cleaning it carefully, putting down drop sheets, and painting a base colour if needed. Then they’ll get to work on your artwork, using a ladder to reach each part of the painting. They’ll likely reference an existing drawing or photo throughout the process to ensure they have every detail right. Once they’re finished, they’ll pack up their equipment, wash out any brushes used, and remove the drop sheet. Some artwork may be finished in just a few hours, while larger, highly detailed pieces may take weeks.

Paint stripping 

Many painters are experienced in paint removal, too. Since paint stripping is generally a messy and time-consuming job, it’s a good idea to outsource it to a professional. Some common reasons for paint stripping include new colour for your interior doors, removing wood stain from kitchen cabinets so you can update the colour, or stripping cracked paint from a surface so it’s ready for repainting. Your professional painter can also help with graffiti removal and repainting, as well. Depending on the surface, they’ll use a mixture of scraping tools, sandpaper, and chemicals to remove as much paint as is needed, ensuring proper safety and ventilation throughout.

Painting, second floor external

$500

Brunswick West VIC, Australia

15th Sep 2024

After having our windows replaced across our 2-storey house, the installers have used external trim that was unpainted, and we need this finished to seal the surfaces. We have tried with a ladder, but it is challenging to get to, and we would like a painter who knows how to safely paint small sections high up (ground to underside of ceiling is 6m) on the outside of the house. There is no adjacent roof or balconies to use to reach these areas, and the pathway access underneath is quite narrow (see picture). There is only very small bits of painting to do on 3 windows on the second floor, all on one side of the house, but will need 3 coats. Job will not be more than a day of work, but will likely be a bit fiddly moving between each of the windows in a small space. Must bring own equipment for accessing space, but we will provide paint and brushes and tape as required. - Due date: Flexible

Finish painting my 1br apartment

$1,000

Armadale VIC, Australia

8th Sep 2024

I recently started painting my new apartment but quickly realised I’m in a bit over my head! 😰 So I’m looking for an experienced painter who can do a professional job. The walls have already been sanded and prepped, (although I have not sanded the trim) The apartment is just over 50 m², and I’ve already purchased the paint—it’s all ready to go at the apartment. I’m moving in on Wednesday, so I know this is short notice, but I’m hoping someone can help me out before then. My top priority is painting the living room, as well as a small entrance and hallway. If possible, it would be great to paint 1.5 walls in the kitchen too. Bonus points if you can also paint the trim in the bedroom (the walls are done, but not the trim). No ceilings or doors need to be painted.

Simran was absolutely fantastic! I had an incredibly tight deadline, and he went above and beyond to accommodate it. He did an exceptional job painting my apartment—it looks amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable painter.

7th Sep 2024

I'm moving out of a rental property and need my room painted from pink back to the ugly neutral they had before. I already have the paint and materials, I'm just running out of time to do it. There's no plaster that needs fixing, no doors to paint, no ceiling, just 4 walls. I hav the paint already. It does NOT have to be perfect, they're going to have to repaint it anyway because there are huge cracks in the plaster that were here when I moved in.

Sharn was so good! He got the job done in great time and he did a great job
