Painters Glen Iris
House and family home painting in Glen Iris VIC 3146, quoted and painted by Steve.
Hillcrest Painting and Flooring Services paints houses, townhouses and units in Glen Iris VIC 3146. 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.
Glen Iris is a family suburb. At the last Census, just over half of Glen Iris families were couples with children, above the Victorian average. That changes how a painting job is planned: rooms in use every day, school runs, and walls that need to stand up to busy lives.

OUR SPECIALITY
Painting a Busy Family Home
Painting a home with children in it is mostly about planning. We agree the order of rooms before we start, so the rest of the house keeps working around us.
Finish matters too. In busy rooms, a low sheen wall finish is easier to wipe clean than a flat one, and doors and trim usually go in a harder wearing gloss. On walls we use Haymes Expressions, and on doors and trim Haymes Ultratrim. We'll talk through sheen levels when we quote. See our interior painting for family homes. For more detail, read our paint finishes explainedguide.

One Suburb, Two Councils
Glen Iris sits either side of Gardiners Creek and across two councils, Boroondara and Stonnington. If you're checking whether your home has a heritage overlay or needs a permit for any work, the planning scheme that applies depends on which council your street is in.
Outside, we use the Haymes Solarshield system. Most homes need an exterior repaint every 7 to 10 years. See our exterior house painters page.
What it costs
How Much Does Painting Cost in Glen Iris?
There's no flat rate, because every home is different. These are the things that move the price:
Number of rooms: a whole family home takes longer than one or two rooms.
Furniture and use: rooms that stay in use need more moving and protecting.
Wall condition: dents, scuffs and marks need filling and sanding first.
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
Which council covers my Glen Iris home?
It depends on your side of the boundary. Glen Iris is split between the City of Boroondara and the City of Stonnington, and your rates notice shows which one you're in. That council's planning scheme is the one that applies to your home.
What paint finish is best for a family home?
For walls in busy rooms, a low sheen finish is easier to wipe clean than a flat one. Doors, skirtings and trim usually go in a harder wearing gloss. We'll talk it through when we quote.
Do you paint homes on both sides of Gardiners Creek?
Yes. We paint homes right across Glen Iris, on both the Boroondara and Stonnington sides of the creek.
