Painters Mont Albert
House painting and colour advice in Mont Albert VIC 3127, quoted and painted by Steve.
Hillcrest Painting and Flooring Services paints homes in Mont Albert VIC 3127, including Mont Albert North. 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.
Choosing colours can be the hardest decision in a repaint. Colour consultation is included with every job, so the scheme is worked out before a brush goes near the walls.
Getting the colours right matters more than it might seem. A repaint usually lasts years, and the colours you choose are the first thing anyone notices from the street.

OUR SPECIALITY
Choosing Exterior Colours
A good exterior scheme usually has three parts: a main wall colour, a trim colour for fascias, window frames and eaves, and an accent for the front door.
Colours look different outside. A colour that seems soft on a small chip indoors can look much stronger across a whole wall in full sun, so it's worth looking at colours on the house itself, in daylight, before deciding.
It also helps to look at the street. The roof colour, brickwork and fencing stay the same, so the scheme should work with them. Steve talks this through at the quote. Outside, we use the Haymes Solarshield system. See our exterior painting page.

Choosing Interior Colours
Inside, light changes everything. The same colour reads differently in a north-facing room and a south-facing one, and at different times of day.
One approach is to use one main wall colour throughout, with a consistent trim colour, so rooms flow into each other. On walls we use Haymes Expressions, and on doors and trim Haymes Ultratrim. Read more about our interior house painting.
What it costs
How Much Does Painting Cost in Mont Albert?
There's no flat rate, because every home is different. These are the things that move the price:
Number of colours: a multi-colour exterior scheme takes more cutting in than one colour.
Trim and detail: fascias, frames and doors add time.
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
Is colour consultation included?
Yes. Colour consultation is included with every job, inside and out.
How do I choose an exterior colour scheme?
Start with a main wall colour, a trim colour and a front door accent, and choose them to work with your roof, brickwork and fencing. Look at colours on the house in daylight before deciding.
How many colours should an exterior scheme have?
Usually three: a main wall colour, a trim colour and a front door accent. More can work on detailed houses, but three keeps a scheme clean.
