Exterior House Painters Melbourne
Does Your Home’s Exterior Need a Fresh Coat of Paint?
Your home’s exterior is a reflection of you. We know as exterior house painters, a professionally painted finish not only enhances its character and street appeal but also protects it from the elements, ensuring it stays in top condition for years to come.
There are few home improvement projects more rewarding than a fresh exterior paint job. However, painting a home is a labour-intensive task. A high-quality professional finish not only transforms your home’s look but also prevents costly repairs by shielding it from weather damage.
Our Approach to Exterior Painting
At Sterling Painters Melbourne, we know that preparation is key. Proper surface preparation, combined with the highest quality paints, ensures a flawless, long-lasting finish. We take the time to do it right—so your home not only looks stunning but stays protected for years to come.
Victorian Weatherboard Houses
Weatherboard homes are an iconic part of Melbourne’s architectural landscape—and a major focus of our work at Sterling Exterior House Painters Melbourne.
The Right Paint for Lasting Protection
For weatherboards, we recommend Dulux Weathershield, which comes with a 15-year guarantee. With a choice of sheen levels from Gloss to Masonry Matt, you can achieve the perfect finish to suit your home’s character.
Preparation is Key
No two weatherboard homes are the same. Each has its own unique charm (and quirks!), requiring careful attention to detail. Proper surface preparation is crucial to ensuring a long-lasting, flawless finish. We take the time to get it right—so your home looks its best for years to come.
Environmental & Lifestyle Paints
The latest generation of acrylic paints is designed to be kinder to the environment. With Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) and No VOC options, these paints not only provide a healthier indoor environment but also offer a lifetime of easy breathing.
Eco-Friendly Paint Choices
At Sterling Painters Melbourne, we prioritise environmentally responsible paint solutions:
- Dulux Weathershield – Low VOC and low odour, making it a great choice for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Porter’s Paints & Murobond – Water-based formulas with natural ingredients for a more sustainable finish.
Energy-Efficient Paint Solutions
Reflective paints, commonly used on roofs, help reduce heat transfer from the sun, keeping your home cooler, lowering energy bills, and minimising your environmental footprint.
The Biggest Environmental Impact? Protection.
A high-quality paint job does more than beautify—it preserves and protects your home, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.
Premium Exterior Paint Products
At Sterling Painters Melbourne, we believe in using only the best products to ensure a long-lasting, high-quality finish for your home.
Why We Choose Dulux Weathershield
We use Dulux Weathershield as our standard exterior paint—not Dulux Professional Exterior—because it’s a superior product designed for longer durability. It comes with a 15-year guarantee or is guaranteed for as long as you live in your home.
The Best Prep for the Best Finish
For primers, we trust Taubmans 3-in-1 Primer/Sealer/Undercoat, rather than Dulux Professional Total Prep. Why? Because Taubmans 3-in-1 offers better adhesion, sealing, and coverage, providing a stronger foundation for your paintwork.
Looking for Something Extra Special?
For a truly unique and premium finish, we also recommend Porter’s Paints and Murobond—both known for their luxurious textures, rich colours, and eco-friendly formulations.
As Exterior House Painters, Evaluating & Preparing Your Home for Painting is Paramount
*Our Painting service for you:
- At Sterling Painters Melbourne, we believe that a long-lasting, high-quality paint job starts with thorough preparation. Here’s how we ensure your home is properly prepped before painting:
- 1. Assess Existing Conditions
- We carefully inspect your home’s exterior for issues such as:
- Peeling or flaking paint
- Open joints and seams
- Wet or rotted wood
- Mildew or moisture damage
- 2. Surface Preparation
- Remove loose or flaking paint – We sand and scrape to create a smooth, stable surface.
- Light sanding for glossy surfaces – This ensures better adhesion between the new and old paint.
- 3. Priming & Repairs
- Prime all bare wood – Paint won’t bond properly to exposed wood, so we apply exterior acrylic or oil-based primer for optimal adhesion.
- Patch damaged wood – We use exterior fillers for small repairs and two-part polyester resin fillers for high-traffic or larger damaged areas.
- 4. Sealing & Gapping
- Seal gaps between joints and materials – This prevents water damage and ensures lasting protection.
- Gap under weatherboards – A crucial step for a durable, weatherproof paint job.
- 5. Protecting Fixtures & Cleanup
- Remove or protect fixtures – We carefully mask, cover, or remove fixtures to keep them clean.
- Full daily cleanup – We leave your property neat and tidy after each workday.
- By following these meticulous preparation steps, we guarantee a smooth, flawless, and long-lasting exterior paint finish.
