Painting the outside of a house in Patterson Lakes
The houses, the weather and the streets here, and what each means for the outside of a house.
Salt water at the back fence
Patterson Lakes is built around tidal canals and harbours that join the Patterson River, which meets Port Phillip Bay 1 to 3 kilometres downstream. Melbourne Water runs four sets of tidal gates, at Whalers Cove, Runaway Bay and the Town Centre, which it can close to keep about 1,400 residents safe from flooding. A house on a tidal canal has salt water behind it and boats going past. Salt settles on gutters, window frames and metal railings, and rust starts at the fixings. It is treated and primed first, and on coastal jobs our painters prime galvanised gutters and downpipes before they're painted.
Decks and fences on the water side
The estate was designed so that owners could reach Port Phillip from their back door, and the canals have marinas, moorings and four public boat ramps. Where a house has a timber deck or fence facing the water, sun and salt dry the timber out, and the old coating goes grey and splits. It needs cleaning, sanding back and priming where it's bare before a new coat. Fences and decks are brushed and rolled, and we don't start outside work when rain or heavy dew is due.
First-generation houses turning fifty
The first soil was turned in 1974, around Lake Legana in the north-east corner, and the primary school opened in 1979. The oldest houses are now around fifty years old. Doors, window frames and fascias from those years often carry oil-based enamel, which changes the prep, so the quote checks for it. Where a house is rendered, cracks are filled and the surface sealed before it's coated. High rear walls on two-storey houses are painted from lifts such as cherry pickers where there's room to set one up.
Green walls beside the quiet lakes
Lakes Legana, Illawong and Carramar are three linked lakes that don't rise and fall with the tide. They take stormwater from the streets around them, and Melbourne Water checks them for blue-green algae. A wall that faces the water and gets little sun stays damp and goes green. That growth is cleaned off and the wall left to dry, or the new coat lifts. On hot days our painters follow the shade around the house, so paint on the sunny side doesn't dry too fast.

Exterior Repaint in Patterson Lakes
In Patterson Lakes, most houses were built from the mid-1970s on. Patterson Lakes sits on the Patterson River and its tidal canals, and salt air is hard on exterior paint and bare metal. About 25% of homes in Patterson Lakes are townhouses or semi-detached. For shared walls, fences and outside areas we can quote the owners corporation or strata manager directly. 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.

Patterson Lakes painting questions, answered.
Quotes and price
Do you paint houses in Patterson Lakes?
Yes. We paint homes in Patterson Lakes and the suburbs around it, inside and out. Call or send the form and we'll come and look at the job.
How do I get a quote?
Call us or send the form with a line about the job and where you are. We'll arrange a time to look at it and give you a written quote. The quote is free.
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.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes, but only enough to cover the materials for your job. Everything else about payment is set out in your written quote before we start.
The job itself
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.
Do weatherboards need to be stripped back before painting?
Not always. Sound paint is sanded and spot-primed; flaking or failed paint is taken back until it's sound. We'll tell you which your house needs when we look at it.
Peace of mind
Are you insured?
Fully insured, $20 million public liability, on every job.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We back our work with a 7-year workmanship guarantee on interior walls and ceilings. The guarantee covers peeling, flaking or blistering of paint we applied, caused by our preparation or application: 7 years on eligible interior walls and ceilings, 12 months on other eligible painted surfaces, and no fixed period on decks, floors, paths, stains, oils and clear finishes. It stays with the customer who paid for the job and doesn't pass to a new owner. Other conditions apply. The full terms are on our guarantee page.
