I have worked with Phi and his team at Newline Painting on several of my projects, and I have always been impressed with the quality of their work.
They specialise in high-quality finishes, and their attention to detail really shows in the final result. The team is professional, reliable and takes the time to make sure every project is completed to the client’s satisfaction.

As a designer, I know how important the finishing touches are, and Newline Painting consistently delivers.
I would definitely recommend Phi and the Newline Painting team to anyone looking to refresh or transform their space with a beautiful new coat of paint.

An exceptional result of my kitchen cabinets, which had difficult grooves and patterns to begin with. They knocked it out of the park and now my kitchen looks new and fresh without having to replace the cabinets.
The whole process was excellent. From first contact, to quote, to price, to organising a date and time, and the paint job. You can tell these guys care about their work and their customers. Will definitely use again!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Phi, Edward, and the Newline Painting team on one of our projects. From the very start, communication was smooth and professional. Their attention to detail, efficiency, and high-quality work made the entire process seamless. We look forward to collaborating with them again on future projects.

Last week, Newline Painting completed exterior house painting for us, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the owner, Phi, and manager, Edward, to the three team members, everyone worked together seamlessly to ensure the job was done smoothly. Our house now looks refreshed and vibrant. We highly recommend the Newline Painting team and sincerely thank them for their hard work and exceptional service—it is truly appreciated.

Phi is great to deal with, he was very generous with his time and ran me through the entire painting process and what to expect. Can't recommend him or the Newline team highly enough

From start to finish, from booking to project complete, Newline did an awsome job. Selling a property is stressful enough and they certainly took the worry out of presenting the property in top condition. Not only the painting, but small cracks or a loose piece of skirting was instantly fixed. Couldn't believe it was the same property when they had finished. 6 stars if I could.

Thank you for the great job painting our house in Camberwell for sale before Christmas! Really appreciate the work your team did expertly for our bathroom, living room, bedrooms and the external house walls. Your team was efficient and friendly. We are very happy as it added at least $200,000 to the final house sale price.

Edward and his team from Newline can’t be faulted!! Their professionalism and efficiency exceeded all expectations.
They are quality tradesmen, very respectful of our space and left it in great condition at the end of each work day. Great attention to detail.
Each of the team were extremely pleasant to deal with, easy communication including Roi at head office.
Exceptional!

Phi, Roi and the team were great to work with from start to finish. They were detailed and thorough, and provided great aftercare service, checking in and making sure I was happy with the work. Most importantly, they did great job on the walls.

I had a great experience with the Newline painting team. They offered a competitive price to repaint the interior of my apartment and were able to accommodate my tight timeline (they started 1 day after the quote was given) and still delivered high-quality work. Communication was smooth and professional from start to finish. I’m really happy with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

All Newline Painting staff, Edward and his team were phenomenal. We needed to wait for another contractor to finish before starting the painting of the front facade of our house and despite a moving timeline, the NP team were quick to respond, courteous and were ready as soon as we were. The painting job is fantastic - the painters' attention to detail, thoroughness and efficiency was second to none. I'm very glad we went with NP as they're solution oriented and easy to work with. We'll definitely be hiring them again soon.

Great communication from Ray, who’s even been following up with my queries in evening and weekend. The job was done quickly from very experienced professionals. There are three people working on the job together to get it done quickly. Would certainly recommend Newline painting to others.

Big thanks to the Newline Painting team for the work on my outdoor walls. After Ed and the team finished the painting, I was so happy with the results and how great it looked compared to what it previously was. Highly recommend.

Ed and his team at Newline Painting did an outstanding job on repainting the interior of my home in South Melbourne! They were swift, tidy and professional throughout the entire project —5 stars wouldn’t be enough to rate their work. They weren't the cheapest quote we got but they definitely kept their promise on timeline, professionalism and their quality of work. Keep up the great work, guys! Highly recommend Newline Painting!

Local knowledge

What we know about painting in Ivanhoe

Interwar and modernist stock, and heritage overlay

Ivanhoe and Eaglemont carry a genuinely unusual mix, interwar villas alongside some significant modernist houses, and parts of it sit under a heritage overlay. That affects exterior colour and sometimes the finish itself. We check the overlay before we quote, and where a scheme needs council sign-off we will tell you at the walkthrough rather than after you have chosen a colour you cannot use.

Bedroom repaint, Daphne Street, Canterbury · Daphne Street, Canterbury

Blocks that fall away toward the Yarra

The blocks that run down toward the Yarra are steep, and a house that looks single storey from the street is often two or three levels at the back. That changes the access cost completely. We walk the rear before we price so the scaffold or platform is in the quote, and you are not handed a variation once the crew arrives and sees the drop.

Mature gardens, shaded walls and what grows on them

The gardens through here are mature and they shade the walls they sit against. Shaded render and weatherboard grow mould and lichen, and painting over it just feeds the next lot. We treat and kill the growth first, and where a shrub is holding moisture against a wall we will say so, because trimming it back does more for that elevation than another coat will.

Pricing transparency

What Changes the Price of a Ivanhoe Painting Quote

Painting a house in Ivanhoe 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. Ivanhoe tends toward the upper end, because the period homes here carry more trim, taller walls and more preparation than a modern build. Four things do most of the work on your quote, and our painting cost guide works through three examples in detail.

Surface area & number of coats

Ivanhoe quotes vary as much as its garden blocks do, so we never price from a suburb average. Three things decide the figure on your written quote.

Prep work required

Area and coat count lead the quote. Ivanhoe’s Edwardian and Queen Anne homes hide serious surface area in their lofty ceilings, deep hallways, gable ends and return verandahs, so a full interior repaint here involves more square metres than the frontage suggests. Nothing gets priced until every room and trim run has been walked and counted, which is why our figure holds where a guessed one creeps.

Paint product specified

Condition drives the biggest swings. Timber fretwork and window sashes on century-old homes want patient sanding and priming, pre-1970 layers call for lead-safe handling, and walls sitting under Ivanhoe’s established gardens often need mould killed off before exterior painting can begin. The preparation hours appear as their own line on the quote, so the state of the surfaces is never a hidden cost.

Access & height

Product choice is the last lever. Dulux Wash & Wear anchors the value end, Haymes Ultra-Premium adds years between repaints, and Wattyl Solagard is our pick for the sun-hammered western faces of Ivanhoe’s ridge-line homes. Whatever product your quote specifies is what gets rolled onto the wall. Want a rough number before anyone visits? Run a room through our painting cost calculator.

What that means for your place

A worked example for a Ivanhoe home

Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take an interwar villa in Ivanhoe, picture rails, timber trim and leadlight surrounds.

300m²

of paintable interior surface, which is the number that actually drives the quote, not the floor area.

A$20–30

per square metre for standard interior work.

A$6,000–9,000

indicative range for that house across two coats, before prep condition and access are assessed.

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.

Our painters get to work

Walkthrough and 7-year warranty

Before handover you walk the finished job with the crew leader, room by room or gable to fence. Anything needing attention is fixed while we are there, then your 7-year warranty begins.

Frequently asked questions

Ivanhoe painting, answered

Do you service Ivanhoe?

Yes. Ivanhoe (3079) and the wider City of Banyule are core territory for us; our crews cover the whole 30km ring around the Melbourne CBD. Ring 1300 044 206 to check current lead times for your street.

Do you paint Ivanhoe’s Edwardian and Queen Anne homes?

Yes. Period homes are the core of our Ivanhoe work: turned verandah posts, gable fretwork, timber sashes and roughcast gables outside, with picture rails, deep skirtings and original plaster inside. We prep and paint all of it to suit its age.

Does a heritage overlay stop me repainting my Ivanhoe home?

No, but it can require a permit first. Many Ivanhoe and Ivanhoe East streets carry overlays under the Banyule planning scheme, and repainting a contributory home in fresh colours may need council approval, so the overlay maps get checked for your address while we quote.

Is lead paint an issue in Ivanhoe houses?

Usually, yes. With most of the suburb built before 1970, older layers tend to carry lead, so unless testing rules a surface clean it is wet-abraded under containment with taped catch sheets, HEPA clean-up and licensed disposal.

Why do south-facing walls in Ivanhoe grow mould so quickly?

Because tree canopy and river damp keep them cool and wet. Ivanhoe’s established gardens and the parkland along the Yarra flats mean shaded southern walls dry slowly, so we treat the mould, then apply a mould-resistant system rather than painting over the problem.

Can you repaint a house on one of Ivanhoe’s steep blocks?

Yes. Gardens stepping down toward Chelsworth Park and the river flats are routine for us. Scaffold, trestles and harness points are planned and priced at quote stage, so the access never becomes a surprise cost later.

Do you paint units and apartments in Ivanhoe?

Yes. Walk-up flats, shop-top apartments near the village strip and newer infill blocks are all regular work. Approvals from the owners corporation, notices to residents and shared-access timing all sit with our team, so the building keeps functioning while we paint.

Can you have our home painted before Christmas visitors arrive?

Yes, with notice. Late spring books out fast in Ivanhoe, especially near The Boulevard where the Christmas lights crowds arrive each December, so lock your quote in early and we will schedule the job to finish well before the season.

Are your Ivanhoe painters insured and guaranteed?

Yes. Trade qualifications and background checks are entry conditions for our crews, the site carries $20 million in liability cover, and the finish comes with seven years of written protection.

How do we get an Ivanhoe painting quote moving?

The instant online quote form, or 1300 044 206 if you prefer to talk. Simple rooms can be priced from the form alone; period exteriors, steep sites and strata buildings get a short visit so the written figure is exact.
