What a paint job in Main Ridge has to deal with
The houses, the weather and the rules here, and what each means for the paint.
Short drying windows at 190 metres
The Bureau of Meteorology's Main Ridge rain gauge stood 190 metres above sea level and averaged 935 mm a year, with May, June and August each passing 100 mm. The Bureau's gauge at Merricks, 55 metres up, averages 817 mm. A local winery describes this as the higher, cooler part of the Peninsula. Cool air and steady rain slow drying, so no outside work is started when rain or heavy dew is due, and exterior jobs fit more easily into January and February.
More than a house to paint on rural blocks
Victorian Places calls Main Ridge mainly a rural district, once a farming locality, now dotted with vineyards, pick-your-own orchards and galleries. Properties like that have more to paint than the house. Bare metal on gates and shed frames is primed first, and fences and decks are brushed and rolled. Aussie Painting paints shops and offices as well as houses.
Checking trims on farmhouses from before 1970
Main Ridge had 218 people at the 1933 census and 390 in 1961, so some houses here can date from well before 1970. We look over the trims when we quote, since old oil-based paint needs different prep. We don't do lead paint removal, so a house of that age should have its old paint tested before any sanding.
Mould on ceilings in houses that sit empty
The 2021 Census counted 293 private dwellings in Main Ridge. Of the 180 that were occupied, 177 were separate houses and more than half had four or more bedrooms. Another 90, about one in three, were empty on census night. A house left shut through a wet winter up here grows mould on bathroom and laundry ceilings. Those wet-area ceilings are treated for mould and cleaned before they are painted.

Don't pay to paint your Main Ridge home twice.
In Main Ridge, 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.

| Insurance | Often no cover if something goes wrong | Fully insured, $20 million public liability |
| Timing | Start dates that keep moving, and no word why | A planned schedule, and a heads-up if weather changes it |
| When it fails | Peeling within months, and you pay twice | 7-year workmanship guarantee on interior walls and ceilings |

Painting homes in Main Ridge
Main Ridge is rural hinterland beside Greens Bush, the biggest stretch of bushland in the Mornington Peninsula National Park. Homes surrounded by bush stay damp and shaded, which means cleaning, mould treatment and good prep on exterior timber. I'm Daniel Dimsey, born and raised on the Mornington Peninsula. Aussie Painting is a local, Australian-owned business painting house interiors and exteriors across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. We genuinely care about every job: we use Dulux paints and put the real time into preparation, because good preparation is what stops paint flaking and peeling early. Interior walls and ceilings are backed by our 7-year workmanship guarantee, and all work is done by qualified painters.
