Painting inside a Sorrento house
Every suburb is a different paint job. Here is what's particular to Sorrento, and what each thing means for the work.
Seven houses in ten are holiday houses
At the 2021 census, 70.9% of Sorrento's private dwellings were empty on the night. A house closed from Easter to December sits cold beside salt water, and moisture has nowhere to go. It shows as mould on bathroom and laundry ceilings and a bloom on walls behind furniture. Our painters treat and clean a mouldy wet-area ceiling before painting it, so the marks don't come back through.
Houses from the 1870s to the 1920s
The Shire's heritage study of the residential precinct dates its limestone, timber and brick houses from 1870 to 1926, and twelve of the Ocean Beach Road ones were built as holiday houses. Rooms that old have had many coats. The trims will carry oil-based enamel, which every quote checks for because it changes the prep. Aussie Painting doesn't do lead paint removal, so in a house of this age have the old paint tested before anything is sanded.
Solid stone walls
An old limestone wall is solid, with no cavity. If damp gets into the stone, it can show on the inside face as bubbling or powdery paint, usually low down or under a window. Fresh paint over the top won't fix the cause. Point those patches out when we come to look, so the quote deals with them honestly.
Large houses, small households
Nearly half of Sorrento's homes, 46.9%, have four or more bedrooms, yet the average household is two people and the median age is 64. About 64% of occupied homes are owned outright. Inside work here is often a big family holiday house done in one go while it is empty. Tell us the weeks it is free, and the timing goes in the written quote with the prep and the price with GST.

In Sorrento, like anywhere, the cheapest quote skips the prep, uses cheap paint and does one coat. It looks fine for a few months, then it peels, and you're paying someone to strip it and start again.

Interior Repaint in Sorrento
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. Sorrento is built on limestone, from the historic Continental Hotel to the old stone homes behind its tree-filled streets. Heritage limestone and older timber need breathable, compatible paint and careful prep, not a heavy modern coat over the top.
