INTERIOR HOUSE PAINTING MELBOURNE

Most people judge an interior paint job by the colour. We judge it by the edges. A clean cut-in line where the wall meets the ceiling, no roller fuzz in the corners, skirting boards that don’t look like they were painted in a hurry. That’s where you can tell who did the work.

The prep nobody sees

Honestly, most of the job happens before the first coat. Hairline cracks over doorways get raked out and filled, not just painted over, because they’ll be back in a month otherwise. Old water stains get a stain-blocking primer first. Skip it and the brown ring bleeds straight through two coats of white. Glossy trims get a proper sand so the new paint grips instead of peeling off with a fingernail.

Furniture gets moved to the middle and covered. Floors get drop sheets, edges get taped. And when we leave, we clean up properly.

Ceilings first, always

We start up top and work down: ceilings, then walls, then doors and trims. Paint drips. Doing it in that order means nothing finished gets ruined.

Choosing paint and colour

We use premium low-VOC paints, which matters when you’re sleeping in the house while we work. Sheen matters more than people expect, too. A flat finish hides a lot on a ceiling, but in a hallway that cops bags and kids, you’ll want something you can wipe. Our paint types guide goes into it, and the colour selection guide is a good place to start before your free colour consult. One tip: test swatches on two walls. Colours look completely different on the wall facing the window.

Cost and how long it takes

It depends on the rooms, the ceiling heights and how much repair the walls need, so we quote after we’ve seen them. Rough guides are here: interior painting costs and how long interior painting takes.

What clients say

Most of our interior work is apartments and family homes that are still being lived in, so how we leave the place each day matters as much as the finish.

“Cannot thank the team at Classico group enough for such a great job in painting my apartment. It looks amazing!”

Alina Zahovic, Google review

“Highly recommend classico painting, they were extremely efficient and reliable, and did a very professional job. I was also very impressed how clean they left my house after all completed painting works.”

Body corporate committees and owners who’ve been through water damage tell us the same thing: regular updates and a tidy site make the whole thing less stressful. We’d rather over-communicate than leave you wondering what’s happening.

Where we work

Mostly Melbourne’s inner and eastern suburbs, plus the north-west and down the Peninsula: Balwyn, Brighton, Camberwell, Essendon, Hawthorn, Kew, Malvern, Moonee Ponds, Northcote, Prahran, St Kilda, Toorak, Williamstown and the Mornington Peninsula. Property managers and body corporates too.
