Painters Camberwell
House, townhouse and period home painting in Camberwell VIC 3124, quoted and painted by Steve.
Hillcrest Painting and Flooring Services paints houses, townhouses and units in Camberwell VIC 3124, including Camberwell East. Steve quotes every job himself and is on the tools, not a subcontracted crew, with over 30 years in the trade, including more than 15 years painting homes across Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
At the last Census, six in ten Camberwell homes were separate houses, about a fifth were townhouses, terraces or semis, and the rest were flats and apartments. Some of those houses sit inside heritage precincts protected under Boroondara's planning scheme, and that's worth knowing before an exterior repaint.

OUR SPECIALITY
Painting in Camberwell's Heritage Precincts
Camberwell has several heritage precincts. The Victorian Heritage Database describes the Prospect Hill Road Precinct (HO159) as the foremost precinct of combined late Victorian and Federation housing in the former Camberwell municipality, including a number of Queen Anne villas.
South of Camberwell Junction, the Burke Road Precinct (HO144) mixes Victorian and Federation houses with interwar homes and flat blocks along Burke Road hill.
Inside a precinct, each property is graded as individually significant, contributory or non-contributory. Before an exterior repaint, it's worth checking your home's overlay and grading, because some overlays include paint controls. We'll work to whatever your home needs, using the Haymes Solarshield system outside. See how we approach exterior repaints.

Interior Painting in Camberwell
About a fifth of Camberwell's homes are townhouses, terraces or semis. Inside, those homes often mean narrower halls, stairwells and shared walls, so we plan the order of rooms carefully and keep the rest of the home usable.
On walls we use Haymes Expressions, and on doors and trim Haymes Ultratrim. Read more about our interior house painters.
What it costs
How Much Does Painting Cost in Camberwell?
There's no flat rate, because every home is different. These are the things that move the price:
Size and storeys: more rooms, more wall area and a second storey add time.
Period detail: verandahs, fretwork, decorative trim and timber windows take longer to prepare and paint.
Surface condition: flaking paint and damaged timber add preparation.
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
How do I know if my Camberwell home is in a heritage precinct?
Search your address on the Victorian Heritage Database or Boroondara's planning scheme maps. Homes in a precinct show a heritage overlay number, such as HO144 or HO159, and a grading of individually significant, contributory or non-contributory.
Do you paint townhouses and semi-detached homes in Camberwell?
Yes. We paint townhouses, terraces and semis inside and out, and we can work with your owners corporation where the job needs its approval.
Do you paint verandahs and decorative trim on older homes?
Yes. Verandahs, fretwork and decorative trim take longer to prepare and paint than plain walls, so they're listed in your written quote.
