Why Choose Highlight Painting Service in Highton?

  1. 1

    Specialists in Geelong’s Coastal and Suburban Conditions

    Highton might not be beachfront, but it sure cops the winds and sun exposure like it is. Our prep work includes UV-resistant primers, moisture guards, and surface conditioning tailored to Highton’s climate. We don’t just paint—we protect.

  2. 2

    Heritage and Modern Know-How Combined

    From restored Edwardians to new townhouses, our team knows how to prep for character trims and sleek cement render alike. We sand, fill, seal, and prime every inch—because different surfaces demand different prep.

  3. 3

    No Shortcuts, Just Solid Prep

    We treat prep work like it’s 80% of the job (because it is). You’ll see us pressure washing, gap filling, mould treating, and even scraping back old flake. It’s messy, but it matters. And it shows in the final results.

Our Paint Preparation Process in Highton

  • Step 1 Initial Inspection and Quote

    Every prep job starts with an on-site visit. We walk through your property, check the surfaces, and assess what’s needed. You’ll get a clear, transparent quote—no guesswork, no fluff.

  • Step 2 Surface Cleaning

    Using industrial-grade pressure washers, we remove dirt, mould, salt build-up, and old paint flakes. Especially important in Highton’s leafy backyards—hello, damp fences and shady eaves.

  • Step 3 Filling, Sanding, and Repairs

    Cracks? Gaps? Peeling? We use premium fillers and sanding tools to level out surfaces. We’ll even replace damaged boards or patch holes where needed. Flawless starts here.

  • Step 4 Priming and Sealing

    Primer is not optional. We apply the right primer for your surface—metal, timber, render, brick—and include sealers where moisture or stains are an issue. It’s the base coat that makes all the difference.

  • Step 5 Protective Masking and Site Prep

    All non-painted surfaces are carefully masked, drop sheets go down, and we isolate areas to keep your home or business clean. We’re tidy painters (your dog will thank us).
