A sample of recent Newline Painting work across Melbourne, from weatherboard exteriors to apartment interiors. On a period home the preparation is usually about half the labour, and it is what decides how long the finish lasts.
Painting a house in Berwick typically costs between A$4,000 and A$20,000 or more, depending on the size and condition of the home. As a per-square-metre guide, standard interior work runs about A$20 to A$30, detailed work with heavy trim rises to A$60 to A$100, and exterior repainting sits around A$15 to A$60. Berwick has older and newer homes side by side, so where a quote lands depends on the individual house: trim, wall height and condition matter more than the suburb. Four things do most of the work on your quote, and our painting cost guide works through three examples in detail.
Berwick prices split cleanly down the suburb’s two halves. Restoring a hundred-year-old weatherboard near the village is a different job to refreshing a 2008 render facade in Berwick Springs, and the quote reflects which one you own. A few drivers decide it, and you can put rough numbers on yours with our painting cost calculator before anyone knocks on your door.
Scale sets the baseline. Berwick’s estate homes are big, with four bedrooms, double-storey voids and open-plan living that runs the depth of the block, so a whole-house interior repaint carries more wall area than the suburb’s older cottages, even before the theatre room and the study nook are counted. We measure every room and elevation, and the quote itemises exactly what is included.
Condition decides the labour, and Berwick runs the full spectrum. Around the old village, pre-1970 weatherboard means lead-safe preparation, re-puttied sashes and back-to-timber repairs. Out in the estates the enemy is different: chalked and faded render, hairline cracks that need chasing and flexible sealing, and Hebel or FC cladding that wants the right primer. Either way, the bulk of an exterior repaint here is preparation, the part that lets us put a 7-year warranty behind the finish.
Paint choice moves the price: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium on the quote, and for west-facing render and weatherboard that cops the full afternoon sun out here, we specify Wattyl Solagard. Whatever the quote names is what goes on your walls, with no substitutions.
Access and timing round out the figure. Double-storey estate homes need scaffold or a raised platform for gable ends and second-storey render, while a single-storey cottage keeps setup light. Timing matters too: a pre-sale repaint chasing a spring auction runs to a different rhythm than a job that can wait for perfect weather. We walk the property before quoting, so none of this surprises you later.
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a larger brick family home in Berwick, two storeys, wide eaves and multiple elevations.

That is a planning figure, not a quote. Preparation condition, colour change, ceiling height and access move it, which is why we measure on site and give you one itemised written price rather than a rate.
Describe your job online or over the phone: rooms, exterior, timing. A written, itemised quote follows, covering what we’ll paint, which products, when, and one fixed price, with no obligation until you say go.
One trade-qualified crew runs your whole job: the right preparation for your home’s age and surfaces, floors, furniture and gardens covered before the first coat, and premium paint laid down clean and even.
You close the job, not us: a room-by-room walkthrough of the finished work, any detail touched up on the spot, and the written 7-year warranty handed over, village weatherboard or estate render alike.

The City of Casey carries far fewer heritage overlays than inner Melbourne, and in Berwick they concentrate on the original village precinct around High Street: the Edwardian shopfronts and the period homes on the streets behind them. If your place is contributory within that precinct, an exterior colour change may need a permit; across the rest of Berwick, including the entire estate belt, you can repaint in any scheme you like. We check the overlay map with you at quote stage, so a permit never ambushes the schedule.

Lead paint in Berwick is a village problem, not a suburb-wide one. The Victorian and Edwardian homes around the old High Street precinct almost certainly carry lead-based coats under later paint, so every pre-1970 surface there is treated as lead until testing says otherwise: wet-sanded under containment, captured on sheeting, HEPA-vacuumed and disposed of correctly. A 2005 build in Berwick Springs has no lead history at all, so we don’t charge you for lead protocols your home doesn’t need.

Berwick is landlocked, 45 kilometres from the bay’s worst weather, so nobody should be selling you marine-grade systems here. What is real: hard northern and western sun that chalks and fades acrylic render inside 15 years, movement in young estate slabs that opens hairline cracks in render and plasterboard, and shaded south walls under established village trees holding damp. We match the system to the elevation: UV-stable topcoats on the sun-struck faces, flexible fillers over movement cracks, mould-resistant paint where the sun never lands.
Most of Berwick’s estate homes were handed over with builder-grade flat white on every interior wall, cheap to apply, impossible to wipe clean, and scuffed to shadows within a decade of family life. The upgrade that transforms them is a washable low-sheen in a considered scheme, room by room. On the newer townhouse developments we also handle the owners-corporation side: quotes written for committee approval, insurance certificates supplied, and access coordinated so every resident knows when the painters arrive.
Newline Painting has painted Melbourne homes for more than ten years, carries $20M public liability cover, and won both the ASBA Small Business Champion award and a Master Painters Australia Award for Excellence in 2025.
A written 7-year workmanship warranty on every surface, long enough to matter in a suburb where most estate homes are only now reaching their first repaint, and a village cottage is on its tenth.
$20 million public liability insurance, certificate in your hands before we start: the document estate builders, owners corporations and careful Berwick homeowners all ask to see.
Start dates confirmed in writing and planned around real life: school runs, a settlement date, or the dry-weather window a south-east exterior needs for coats to cure properly.
In Casey a paint finish gets judged against some of Melbourne's best-kept houses, which is the standard we quote to.
The same background-checked Newline crew sees your Berwick job through from quote to sign-off. This is our home patch in the south-east: recent work includes a full exterior repaint one suburb over in Narre Warren South, a French wash feature finish in Keysborough and a repaint in Carrum Downs, so the crew already knows what fading render, Hebel cladding and century-old weatherboard each demand, and every job is handed over with its 7-year warranty documented.
