Hillcrest Painting and Flooring Services paints homes in Croydon VIC 3136 in Melbourne's outer 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.
Croydon is house country. At the last Census, more than eight in ten Croydon homes were separate houses, and only about one in twenty was a flat or apartment.
A house block usually means more to paint than the walls: fences, garage doors, sheds and carports all weather alongside the house. Planning them together saves a second job later.
From the house to the garage, one free written quote sets out exactly what's being painted.
Weatherboard, brick and render, with eaves, fascias and windows.
Timber fences cleaned, prepared and painted or stained.
Doors, walls and trim on outbuildings.
Walls, ceilings, doors and trim, room by room.
Scraping, filling, sanding and priming before any topcoat goes on.

On a house block, the extras add up: timber fences, garage doors, sheds and carports. They weather just like the house, and they're often left until last.
Each needs its own preparation. Timber palings can be painted or stained, and rough-sawn timber takes a stain well. Metal garage doors and trims need cleaning and the right primer for metal so the topcoat grips.
Painting them in the same job as the house means one set-up, one colour scheme and one written quote. Outside, we use the Haymes Solarshield system. See our exterior house painting page.
Most Croydon homes are family houses, so interior jobs are often several rooms at once. We agree the order of rooms before we start so the house stays usable.
On walls we use Haymes Expressions, and on doors and trim Haymes Ultratrim. Colour consultation is included with every job. Read more about our interior painting in Melbourne.
There's no flat rate, because every home is different. These are the things that move the price:
House size: more rooms and more wall area add time.
Extras: fences, garages and sheds are quoted on their size and condition.
Materials: timber, metal and masonry each need different preparation.
Surface condition: flaking paint and weathered 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.

“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.”

We also paint homes around Croydon, including painters in Ringwood. For whole-home projects, see our residential painting in Melbourne.
