What a paint job in Shoreham has to deal with
The houses, the weather and the rules here, and what each means for the paint.
Paint that waits too long on part-time houses
On census night in 2021 Shoreham had more empty dwellings than occupied ones: 268 against 265. Every occupied one was a separate house. Paint on a house used for part of the year tends to be left until it peels, which means more scraping, filling and priming of bare timber. The free written quote sets out that prep before anything starts, which suits owners who are not there to watch the job.
Washing off road dust on steep, unsealed streets
A 2021 drainage report for the Shire notes that Marine Parade is unsealed, describes the ground there as steep, and assumes the streets will stay unsealed. Gravel roads throw dust and mud onto fences and lower walls, and paint will not hold over either. Surfaces are washed and left to dry before paint goes on. On the downhill side of a sloping block, painters work from lifts such as cherry pickers on high walls.
Timber houses, heritage controls and old paint
Shoreham grew up on timber. Sleepers were cut at Stony Creek in the 1850s and the Wright family ran a mill here from 1948 to 2008. The Shire's heritage study notes a Victorian timber cottage on Cliff Road and Whistlewood, an 1870s timber farmhouse on Tucks Road. Seven Shoreham places, the Progress Hall and Old Post Office among them, need a planning permit before new outside colours. Old layers on pre-1970 timber can hold lead-based paint, and we don't do lead paint removal, so testing comes before sanding.
Muted colours for shops in the village centre
The planning scheme has its own overlay for the Shoreham village centre. It asks for building colours in muted tones that let the landscape come first, encourages simple materials such as timber, and warns against large areas of render. We paint shops as well as houses, so it is worth agreeing the palette with the Shire before a shopfront changes colour.

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

Painting homes in Shoreham
Shoreham sits among creeks and pine-topped cliffs above Honeysuckle Beach, and many homes here are holiday houses on bushy blocks. Damp creek air and shade from the trees make mould treatment and good prep a normal part of exterior work. 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.
