Painters Burwood
House and semi painting in Burwood VIC 3125, Melbourne, quoted and painted by Steve.
Hillcrest Painting and Flooring Services paints homes in Burwood VIC 3125 in Melbourne, including Burwood East. Steve quotes every job himself and is on the tools, not a subcontracted crew, with over 30 years painting homes across Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
At the last Census, more than a quarter of Burwood homes were semis, townhouses or terraces, almost double the Victorian share, alongside separate houses and a smaller number of flats. Close to four in ten homes were rented, above the Victorian rate.
Whatever the type of home, the outside is what weathers first, and catching it early is the difference between a straightforward repaint and a bigger repair job.

OUR SPECIALITY
Signs Your Exterior Needs Repainting
Paint usually tells you when it's time. The early signs are chalky residue that rubs off on your hand, fading on the sunny sides of the house, and fine cracking in the paint film.
Later signs are more urgent: flaking or peeling paint, and bare timber showing through on weatherboards, sills and fascias. Once timber is exposed, moisture gets in, and preparation takes longer.
When we find it, the fix is the same every time: scrape back anything loose, sand the edges smooth, prime bare timber, and fill gaps before any topcoat goes on. Catching it at the chalking stage keeps all of that simpler. Outside, we use the Haymes Solarshield system. See our exterior repaints page.
Also covered
Semis, Townhouses and Interiors
With so many semis and townhouses in Burwood, many exteriors are shared. Where a wall, fence or common area belongs to an owners corporation, its approval comes first, and it's worth talking to the neighbours so both sides of a shared wall end up matching.
Inside, we work room by room, using Haymes Expressions on walls and Haymes Ultratrim on doors and trim. Read more about our interior painters.
What it costs
How Much Does Painting Cost in Burwood?
There's no flat rate, because every home is different. These are the things that move the price:
How far it's gone: flaking paint and bare timber take more preparation than chalking.
Type of home: a semi or townhouse is a different job to a detached house.
Surface type: weatherboard, brick and render each need different preparation.
Shared walls: coordinating with neighbours or an owners corporation can affect timing.
Inside, outside or both: a whole-home repaint is quoted as one job.
We don't price a job until we've seen it. You'll get a free written quote that sets out what's included.

What Our Clients Say
Trusted by Homeowners Across Melbourne
★★★★★
“Steve did an excellent job and we are totally satisfied with his work. We arranged for Steve to do a complete re-paint of our Edwardian house, both an interior and exterior re-paint. We were particularly pleased that he turned up when he said he would. A particularly nice touch was that as the whole project turned out to be less work than anticipated at the outset, Steve adjusted the final cost downwards.”
★★★★★
“Steve and his team at Hillcrest have been a pleasure to have in our home. A couple of months ago we embarked on a restoration of our home which included all external and internal painting. Having the right team work with us and fit in with our family was important. Steve and Michael have been very professional, great communication with us, responsive and flexible to our needs and to any changes We would highly recommend Hillcrest to anyone looking for great tradespeople (painting and flooring) who know how to do technically proficient work and are just good people to have in your home.”

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What are the signs a house needs repainting?
Chalky residue on the paint, fading on the sunny sides, and fine cracking are the early signs. Flaking paint and bare timber showing through mean it's overdue.
Do you paint in Burwood, Sydney?
No. We paint Burwood VIC 3125 in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, along with nearby suburbs such as Glen Iris, Ashburton and Box Hill.
Can you repaint just the side of the house that's weathered?
Yes, but new paint next to faded paint can look different. We'll show you what to expect at the quote, so you can decide between one side and the whole exterior.
