Painting the outside of a house in Blairgowrie
Every suburb is a different paint job. Here is what's particular to Blairgowrie, and what each thing means for the work.
The narrow part of the Peninsula
Parks Victoria says that from Koonya Ocean Beach in Blairgowrie you can look over Bass Strait one way and across the narrowest point of the Peninsula to Port Phillip the other. On the bay side, the yacht squadron put in a wave barrier against what it calls the strong prevailing winter north-westerly. So a house here is never far from salt water, and the wind brings it from both directions. Metal suffers first. Our painters prime galvanised gutters and downpipes on coastal jobs, and rust on rails and fixings needs treating before paint.
Fibro shacks, modernist beach houses and big rebuilds
Blairgowrie was farms until the 1940s. A Shire heritage study describes a major building wave in the 1960s and 1970s of small modernist beach houses and fibro shacks on large blocks, then larger houses filling the blocks from the 1980s. Timber wants scraping, priming and filling. Fibro from before the mid-1980s is likely to contain asbestos, and Aussie Painting doesn't work on it. Tell us what your house is clad in when you ask for a quote.
Muted colours are in the planning rules
Parts of Blairgowrie, St Johns Wood Road for one, sit under a Shire design overlay that asks for cladding and trim in muted tones of green, brown and beige, with outside finishes under 40% reflectivity. A bright white or a glossy dark scheme may not fit. Look up your address on the state's VicPlan map, or ask the Shire, before you settle on colours.
Dunes, tea-tree and empty houses
The same study notes Blairgowrie's streets for their dune landform, remnant vegetation and well-treed blocks. Shade keeps the south side of a house damp, and leaf litter holds water in gutters. On census night in 2021, 65.2% of private dwellings here were empty, so that damage often goes unseen for months. A few old places, 15 The Loop with its notched weatherboards and a cottage at 25 Godfrey Street among them, carry heritage paint controls as well.

Exterior Repaint in Blairgowrie
In Blairgowrie, most houses were built after World War II. Houses from before 1970 can have lead-based paint in the older layers. Aussie Painting doesn't do lead paint removal, so if you're not sure, have it tested before any sanding. Blairgowrie sits on Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait, and salt air is hard on exterior paint and bare metal. On coastal jobs we prime galvanised gutters and downpipes before they're painted. We don't start outside work when rain or heavy dew is due, and on hot days we work in the shade, so the paint goes on and dries the way it should. Blairgowrie sits on the Peninsula's narrowest point, with bay beaches on one side, rocky ocean beaches on the other and moonah woodland in between. Holiday homes tucked among the moonah and tea tree stay shaded and salty, so mould treatment is often part of the job.

How much does it cost to paint a house?
It depends on the size of the area, how much preparation the surfaces need, their condition, access and height, and how many coats it takes. We don't guess over the phone: we look at the job and put the price in writing, with each of those explained.

The job itself
Is there anything different about painting in Blairgowrie?
Blairgowrie sits on the Peninsula's narrowest point, with bay beaches on one side, rocky ocean beaches on the other and moonah woodland in between. Holiday homes tucked among the moonah and tea tree stay shaded and salty, so mould treatment is often part of the job.
Who actually does the painting?
Daniel's team of trade-qualified painters. Daniel runs the business and is your contact from the quote to the final walk-through.
What paint do you use?
Dulux, on every job. We pick the right Dulux product for the surface, whether that's a wet-area ceiling, weatherboards or a factory wall.
What time of year is best for exterior painting?
Dry, mild weather. Paint needs a dry surface and a temperature in the manufacturer's range while it cures, so exterior work is planned around the forecast. You get a planned schedule, and if rain moves the dates we tell you.

Yes. Every job comes with a 7-year workmanship guarantee. If something fails because of how we did it, we come back and fix it.
