Painting inside a Dromana house
Every suburb is a different paint job. Here is what's particular to Dromana, and what each thing means for the work.
A holiday town for a hundred years
Dromana's building blocks were marketed from the 1920s, and it has been a holiday town ever since. At the 2011 census, 46.5% of its dwellings were unoccupied holiday homes, and in 2021 about 40% were still empty on census night. Inside a house used a few weeks a year, paint ages from neglect, not wear. Ceilings grow mould over a closed-up winter. On a bathroom or laundry ceiling it is treated and cleaned before we paint, or it shows through again.
From 1920s cottages to 1970s hillside houses
Blocks here were marketed from the 1920s, and the lower slopes of Arthurs Seat had filled in by the 1970s. Across that whole span, doors, frames and skirtings were painted in oil-based enamel. Every quote checks the trims for it, because a water-based coat needs different prep to grip it.
Sun through big windows
Houses on the slope look out over the bay. McCraith House, the 1950s holiday house in Atunga Terrace, is built of steel, timber, glass and stone. Strong light through big windows fades walls and yellows old enamel unevenly, so a patch-up rarely matches. Those rooms are better done wall to wall.
Who lives here now
The median age in Dromana is 50. 43.7% of homes are owned outright, about a quarter are rented, and three households in ten are one person. Some jobs are a retiree settling into the old family holiday house, others a rental between tenants. Landlords and property managers can ask us directly, and the prep, the price with GST and the timing are put in writing.

Interior Repaint in Dromana
In Dromana, most houses were built from the 1920s, with the hillside filling in by the 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. Doors and trims in houses of that age often still carry oil-based enamel. Painting over it changes the prep, so every quote checks for it. Mouldy bathroom and laundry ceilings are treated and cleaned before any paint goes on, so the mould doesn't come back through. Dromana runs from the bay and the pier up the lower slopes of Arthurs Seat, with the freeway splitting the beach side from the hillside homes. Beachside homes deal with salt, while the hillside ones add steep access to plan for, so every quote starts with a site look.
