Painters in Geelong West: Restoring Heritage Charm & Modern Living

We are local specialists in heritage restoration and weatherboard painting. We take the time to strip back the years of wear and tear to make your home look brand new again—and ensure it stays that way.

Why Geelong West Homes Need Special Care

If you live in the West, you know the housing stock here is special. But beautiful old homes come with a specific set of challenges. Here is how we handle them.

‍

Dealing with "Geelong West" Weatherboards

Most homes here are timber, and many haven't been stripped back properly in decades. We often see paint bubbling or flaking because the previous painter didn't prep the surface right. We don't cut corners. We sand, gap-fill, and prime every inch to make sure the new topcoat sticks through our hot summers and cold winters.

‍

Lead Paint Safety

Because so many homes in this area were built before 1970, lead paint is a real risk. We are fully trained to test for lead and remove it safely, keeping your family and pets safe during the renovation.

‍

The "Pako" Style

Geelong West has a vibe all its own. It’s boutique, stylish, and a bit edgy. If you’re stuck on colours, we can help you choose a palette that respects your home’s history but feels fresh and modern—perfect for that Pakington Street lifestyle.

Recent Projects in the Neighbourhood

We love working in the West. You might have seen our vans parked around O'Connell Street, Autumn Street, or Villamanta Street.

Recently, we restored a lovely Edwardian frontage just a few blocks from the library. It required extensive sanding to get rid of 50 years of paint build-up, but the result was stunning. We uncovered the original timber details and brought them back to life.

Common Questions from Geelong West Locals

Q: Do you repair rotten timber before painting?

‍A: Absolutely. There is no point painting over rot; it will just fail again in six months. We cut out the rot and replace the weatherboards or use professional timber fillers so your paint job lasts.

Q: How long does a typical exterior house paint take?

‍A: For a standard three-bedroom weatherboard home, it usually takes us about 2 to 3 weeks. This depends on the weather and how much preparation is needed (stripping old paint takes time, but it’s worth it).

Q: Can you help with heritage colour schemes?

‍A: Yes, we love heritage colours! We can recommend schemes that fit the era of your home, whether it’s Federation, Edwardian, or Art Deco.
