What a paint job in Somers has to deal with
The houses, the weather and the rules here, and what each means for the paint.
Old paint layers on houses from the first beach blocks
Somers began in 1925, when 24 one acre blocks went on the market, followed the same year by the Palm Beach subdivision. Victorian Places records that holiday house and permanent resident numbers both grew during the 1960s. So some of the houses here date from before 1970. Aussie Painting does not remove lead paint, which coatings of that age can contain, so arrange a test before anyone sands.
Finding leaks and peeling paint in houses that sit empty
At the 2021 Census 39.8% of the 1,254 private dwellings in Somers were unoccupied, and the Somers Residents Association describes a balance between permanent residents and those who holiday here. An empty house can't report a dripping gutter or a leaking window, so peeling paint or a ceiling stain is often the first sign. The cause needs fixing before repainting. Where a wet-area ceiling has gone mouldy, it is treated and cleaned before it is painted.
Dust and deep shade along the unmade roads
The Shire's vision for Somers is low scale houses and unsealed roads concealed by dense vegetation, with mature canopy trees over the streets. Road dust settles on walls, and the canopy keeps them shaded, so they are slow to dry after rain. Walls here need a good wash and drying time before any paint. On hot days the crew works in the shade.
Colour choices for houses hidden in coastal bush
In Somers the Shire's preferred character is houses in natural materials and muted colours that sit within the vegetation. Its guidance for the foreshore says to avoid bright, bold colours. Under the Shire's design overlays, some colours and finishes can't be used without a planning permit. It is worth a call to the Shire before picking a much brighter or glossier colour.

Don't pay to paint your Somers home twice.
In Somers, 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.
| What matters | The lowest bid | Aussie Painting |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Filler left unsanded, so every patch shows through the new paint | Filled, sanded smooth and primed where it needs it, so the finish is flat |
| The paint | Whatever's cheapest, thinned to go further | Dulux on every job |
| Coats | One coat and call it done | Enough coats for full, even coverage |
| Your home | Paint on the lights, the floor and the carpet, and a mess left behind | Everything covered, then cleaned up with no dust left, like we were never there |
| Who does the work | Whoever is free that day | All work done by trade-qualified painters |
| Who turns up | Hard to tell who's meant to be on site | A crew in uniform, so you know who's at your home |
| 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 |
| Reaching someone | Stops answering once they're paid | Answering the phone 7 days on 0481 737 626 |

Painting homes in Somers
Somers is a small Western Port beach village beside Coolart Wetlands, with holiday homes and permanent homes tucked among the trees. Tree cover, sea air and houses that sit empty between visits mean a thorough clean and mould treatment before painting. 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.
