Your House Painters. We’re not commercial painters, we’re not industrial painters, we’re your very own house painters.

We don’t specialise in Painting Houses, because that’s all we do. We’re only house painters. Because we are house painters, we know about working around families. Working around other trades. And most importantly putting the finishing touches to your home. Why? Because we are house painters!

For Your House Only, Painters

    Painting Hallways in Style

    We originally painted this front door over five years ago, it took an amazing 9 coats! We added 2 more this time to tidy it up. Guess this customer knew pineapples would be in 5 years ago! Some people just have it.

    Making an entrance with style. It’s very important to convey all you want from the hallway, because sometimes that’s all the outside world sees of your house. Have you noticed Victorian houses tend to have a hallway of two halves, divided by the arch, midway. The first half decorative and well painted, the second half functional and a little drab. So getting it right can be difficult.

    Hallways tend to be narrow and dark, another problem when choosing paint colours. You can either paint light and airy or go the opposite, as this client, paint dark and moody. The middleground is nowhere.

    Paints Used:

    Not Going To Happen. House Painting

    On house painting this weekend.

    Her: 

    “House Painting – It’s on his list, he’ll paint it next week, I’ve asked many times, he’s been busy at work, he didn’t have chance to go to Bunnings, his friend is over, the weather; it’s too wet, the weather, it’s too dry, it’s too late in the day now to start, he has a free weekend at the end of the month, wrong time of the year, the footy’s on…..”

    Him:

    “It’s on my list!”

    Dear Deidre says:

    “Counseling sessions would improve the family unit, and develop meaningful relationships and therefore the look of the family ‘home’, however, between you and me, just hire Sterling Painters, because it’s just Not Going To Happen!”

    House Painters – Deal With The Chore

    For some, well for most, house painting is a chore, a task to be put off. At Sterling Painters, we avoid our own chore lists by coming to work and dealing with yours. Best thing about this is, we enjoy painting. Not just because it beats gardening, but because it a rewarding and satisfying.

    Sometimes it’s an ideal to delegate. Are your painting skills A1? Because ours are. Book Sterling Painters and we’ll not only start the painting job, we’ll finish the painting job.

  • Painting In The Winter – Newport

    Painting In The Winter – Newport

    The Rain Didn’t Stop Play. Newport

    “Plagued by bad weather, we still delivered on time. Okay. Whilst time restraints weren’t on me, I did promise the customer ‘by the weekend’, so we worked the weekend. Painting in the winter rain.” Sterling Exterior House Painters always go the extra mile.

    The Colour Consultant did a fantastic job, the house looks great, in keeping with the neighbourhood, reflects the customers’ taste and best of all? It won’t look dated any time soon. I can pass on her details.

    Painting in the Winter Rain

    We used Norglass Marine Clear Varnish on the woodwork, as recommended by Footscray Paintspot. Difficult to use, but I’m told, the best product for the job. Always worth asking advise. We’re the painters, the experts on product application. The experts on product knowledge are the guys at the paint shop.

    We also used semi gloss on everything else, this provides a slippy surface that dust and moisture find hard to stay on. Gloss is even better, but maybe a little too refective for some people’s taste!

    Paints Used:

    • Weatherboards: Weathershield semi gloss – Self Destruct
    • Ceilings: Weathershield semi gloss – Hogs Bristle half
    • Gate/Render/Fence: Weathershield semi gloss – Caveman

    Interior House Painters Kensington

    Just incase all you think we do is exterior painting, here’s proof that we can, and do, work inside. We are interior painting Kensington, house by house.

    As you can see, the paint isn’t even dry yet! But most importantly, as you can see, we clean and tidy after ourselves. Yes we got the vacuum out and wiped down the surfaces. That’s what we do.

    I daresay the client isn’t even home yet, but he’ll come back to a freshly painted home on a Friday evening and won’t have to do a thing. Not an iota.

    • Ceilings: Dulux Professional ceiling white
    • Walls: Dulux Wash & Wear matt Whisper White

    Weatherboard House Painters Balaclava

    It’s great for us to paint a heritage weatherboard houses and make them look really special. And as so, now we’re House Painters Balaclava, doing just that!

    The owner took our advice and we painted the house entirely in Dulux Weathershield gloss. Because gloss forms a barrier that simply repells rain and dust, and so, the house is protected for longer.

    Recommending the trim at the sides and back be painted in a lighter colour, rather than the traditional dark green, gave a better idea of space. And as so, made the house seem larger. See Sterling Exterior Painters for more details.

    Paints Used:

    • Weatherboards: Dulux Weathershield gloss Regency White.
    • Trim: Dulux Weathershield gloss Bronzed Green
    • Trim: Dulux Weathershield gloss Regency White quarter
