Painters in North Geelong

A house painting job can be the whole building or one part of it. At Slevin Street the painting followed other trades. The house was re-roofed, and new gutters, downpipes, weatherboards, windows, baseboards, weather stops and some fascia were installed by others. Highlight Painting painted the new and existing exterior timber, then the interior once the walls had been straightened and replastered and the new skirtings, architraves, windows and doors were in.

Weddell Road was smaller. The new extension was the scope, not the rest of the house. The wider residential service is house painting.

The Slevin Street interior was painted after the renovation, not instead of it. New plaster and new timber were undercoated. Nail holes, joins and gaps in the skirtings, architraves, windows and doors were filled before the finish coats. The first coats were sprayed. The final coat was brushed and rolled. The colour was Dulux Snowy Mountains Half.

Weddell Road has no interior in the project record. An interior quote for another North Geelong house starts from the walls in that house. See interior house painting for the wider service.

Slevin Street used three exterior colours, recorded as Colorbond names: Shale Grey on the weatherboards, Dover White on the trim, and Monument on the baseboards. New weatherboards were undercoated. The traditional boards had a large number of fixing holes, and those holes were filled. The first coat was sprayed, the surface was sanded, and the second coat was brushed and rolled. The painted exterior included the weatherboards, weather stops, window frames and jambs, baseboards, fascia, the front and rear doors, and the backyard pergola. The roof was part of the renovation and is not claimed as painted.

Weddell Road was the exterior of a new extension: weatherboards, cement sheet, timber baseboards and windows. The surfaces were sanded where required, nail holes were filled, gaps were sealed, and the work then had an undercoat and two top coats. The colours in the notes are Lexicon Quarter and Lexicon Half. The notes do not name the manufacturer. The weather was unsettled when the job was booked, so the painting waited for a dry day. A carpenter later moved a door, and the painters returned to finish the door and frames. Being near Corio Bay is not a coating specification. Neither job record describes salt damage. Exterior work is set out on the exterior house painting page.

Commercial painting enquiries are accepted in North Geelong. A shop, office or other business premises is quoted from its own surfaces, access and hours of use.

There is no North Geelong commercial project in the archive, so this page does not describe one. The service is on the commercial painting page.
