Painting the outside of a house in Frankston North
Every suburb is a different paint job. Here is what's particular to Frankston North, and what each thing means for the work.
The Pines estate, built from 1957
Frankston North began as a Housing Commission estate on land burnt in the fires of the mid-1950s. The first stage was finished in 1957, starting with Pine Street, then Plantation Street and Forest Drive, and later streets took the names of pines: Monterey, Radiata, Corsican, Aleppo, Norfolk, Excelsior. Most houses are single-storey brick veneer under cement tiles. On a brick veneer house the bricks aren't painted. The job is the fascias, gutters, window frames, doors and porch, and after sixty-odd years the timber windows are usually where the trouble is. Eaves on houses of this age are often lined with old fibro sheet, and we leave those alone.
Streets of timber and fibro
Council's neighbourhood character study describes the older part of the suburb as small, simple post-war houses from the 1950s and 1960s, with some streets where timber and fibro are common. Weatherboards need flaking paint scraped back, bare timber primed and gaps filled. Fibro is different. Sheet from before the mid-1980s is likely to contain asbestos, and Aussie Painting doesn't take on old fibro. Tell us which one your house is when you ask for a quote.
Low roofs, no high work
The same study describes the 1960s and 1970s streets as single storey with low-pitched or skillion roofs, mostly brick with tiles. Gutters and fascias sit low, and there are no second-storey walls to allow for. That keeps an outside repaint here simple. What matters is the prep on tired timber and the state of the gutters.
Inland, with bush on the boundary
Frankston North is not on the bay, so salt is less of a worry than sun. North and west walls fade and chalk first. The Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve runs along the edge of the suburb, with entries from Tamarisk Drive, Excelsior Drive and Warrawee Circuit, and houses near it collect leaves in their gutters. On hot days our painters work in the shade, and we don't start outside work when rain or heavy dew is due.
Owners and landlords
Many of the state's houses here were sold to the people living in them in the 1990s, and today 45.2% of homes are rented. If the house is a rental, we can quote the landlord or the property manager directly. The written quote sets out the prep, the price with GST and the timing.

Exterior Repaint in Frankston North
In Frankston North, most houses were built in the 1960s and 1970s. 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. 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. Frankston North grew in the 1960s and 70s as a housing estate on the old pine plantation, so most homes are single-storey brick veneer with timber eaves and trims that are now well due for attention. After fifty-odd years, those trims usually carry several old coats, so we check what's sound and sand or scrape back before anything new goes on.
