Painters Surrey Hills
House painting in Surrey Hills VIC 3127, Melbourne, quoted and painted by Steve.
Hillcrest Painting and Flooring Services paints houses, townhouses and semis in Surrey Hills VIC 3127, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Steve quotes every job himself and is on the tools, not a subcontracted crew, with over 30 years painting homes across the east.
Surrey Hills is mostly owner-occupied. At the last Census, only about one home in five was rented, below the Victorian average, and two in three were separate houses. Owners here tend to paint for one of two reasons: to refresh a home they're staying in, or to get it ready to sell.

OUR SPECIALITY
Painting Before You Sell
If you're selling, paint is about first impressions, and the order matters. Start with what buyers see first: the front of the house, the entry and hallway, and the main living areas. Then marked walls, scuffed skirtings and tired doors, which show up in listing photos.
Plan the painting to finish before the photographer arrives, so the home looks the same online as it does at the open inspection. We'll talk through timing and what to prioritise when we quote. Outside, we use the Haymes Solarshield system. See our exterior painting in Melbourne page.

Painting a Home You're Staying In
If you're staying, a repaint is a chance to fix what's worn and plan colours properly. Colour consultation is included. On walls we use Haymes Expressions, and on doors and trim Haymes Ultratrim. Read more about our interior painting.
What it costs
How Much Does Painting Cost in Surrey Hills?
There's no flat rate, because every home is different. These are the things that move the price:
What's being painted: a pre-sale refresh of key rooms is smaller than a whole-house repaint.
Timing: a fixed deadline before photos or an auction needs to be planned in.
Surface condition: flaking paint, damaged timber and marked walls 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
Should I paint my house before selling?
Often it's worth it for the areas buyers notice first: the front of the house, the entry, living areas, and any marked walls or trim. Focus there before listing photos are taken.
Do you paint in Surry Hills in Sydney?
No. We paint Surrey Hills VIC 3127 in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, along with neighbouring suburbs such as Canterbury, Mont Albert and Balwyn.
How far ahead of selling should I book the painting?
As early as you can. The aim is to finish before the listing photos are taken, and your written quote sets out the timeframe so you can plan around it.
