Common questions
Painting & Decorating in Footscray, answered straight
How do I compare painting quotes fairly?
Check three things: the prep work listed, the number of coats, and the paint brand and line. A cheaper quote with one coat over unwashed walls is not the same product as a full prep and two-coat system.
When is the best time to paint a house exterior in Melbourne?
Painters work year round, but long dry spells make exterior work easier to schedule. Melbourne weather changes fast, so experienced exterior painters plan around it. Flexible timing can get you better availability.
Should I worry about lead paint in an older home?
Homes painted before the 1970s may have lead-based layers. Sanding them without containment is a health risk. Mention the age of the home in the job description so painters price safe preparation.
Do painters fix cracks and holes first?
Minor filling and patching is normally included. Larger plaster repairs may be quoted separately or need a plasterer first. Photos of the damage let painters tell you which side of the line your walls fall on.
