Painting inside a Tootgarook house
Every suburb is a different paint job. Here is what's particular to Tootgarook, and what each thing means for the work.
Holiday houses, shut for the cold months
Tootgarook had 2,706 dwellings at the 2021 census and 1,357 of them were empty on the night. Small beach houses with no heating on and no one opening a window go musty fast. The ceiling over the shower is where mould starts. Our painters treat it and clean it off before painting a wet-area ceiling, because paint on its own only hides it for a few months.
1950s rooms
The suburb's school opened in 1950 and building picked up in the middle of that decade, so many houses are now around seventy years old. Expect oil-based enamel on the doors, architraves and window frames, often under several later coats. The quote checks for it. Painting over old enamel without the right prep is why new paint peels off trims in sheets.
More renters than its neighbours
28% of Tootgarook's occupied homes are rented, more than in Rye or Blairgowrie, and 36.3% are owned outright. The median age is 46. For rentals, the owner or the property manager can deal with us directly, and everything is set out in a written quote before work starts.
Small houses, quick to turn around
West of Truemans Road the planning scheme caps walls at 4.5 metres, so the houses there are single level with ordinary ceiling heights. If the house is empty, tell us which weeks. If you live in it, tell us which rooms you can't do without.

Interior Repaint in Tootgarook
In Tootgarook, most houses were built from the 1950s on. 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. Tootgarook is built on the edge of Tootgarook Swamp, where peat soils sit barely above sea level between Rosebud and Rye. Damp ground and older postwar beach homes mean rot, mould and flaking are common, so we check timber carefully before quoting.
