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.
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!
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!
Affordable, very good customer service and the final product was really good

What we know about painting in Dandenong
Heritage overlays sit on the civic core, not the housing
The City of Greater Dandenong keeps its heritage overlays tight: the 1890 Town Hall on the Lonsdale and Walker Street corner (now the Drum Theatre), Laurel Lodge and the Heritage Hill gardens on Langhorne Street, and a handful of early buildings near the market. Almost none of Dandenong’s postwar housing is covered, so most homes can take any colour scheme with no permit needed. If a property does border the civic precinct, we run the overlay check together before the quote is finalised.
Lead paint is the default assumption on postwar Dandenong homes
Dandenong’s housing boom ran through the 1950s and 60s, well inside the lead-paint era, so original weatherboard, window sills, fascias and older interior trim are assumed to carry lead until sampling proves otherwise. That means wet-sanding under containment, drop sheeting that captures every flake, HEPA vacuuming at clean-up and compliant disposal. The newer townhouse infill and the apartments near the station carry no lead legacy, so lead protocols never appear on their quotes.
Traffic film, western sun and honest exposure logic
Dandenong is landlocked, around 30 kilometres from the bay, so nobody should be quoting you marine-grade systems here. The real enemies are different: hard western sun that chalks acrylic on weatherboard and fades dark trim, diesel and traffic film that seals commercial facades near the Princes Highway against fresh paint, and slab movement that opens hairline cracks in rendered infill townhouses. We wash down, bind and seal to match each surface, then choose UV-stable topcoats for the sun-struck elevations.
Factories, shopfronts and the new apartments near the station
Commercial painting is not a sideline in Dandenong, it is half the suburb. We recoat factory offices, warehouse interiors and loading docks through the southern industrial estates, repaint trading shopfronts around Dandenong Market, the Afghan Bazaar precinct on Thomas Street and Little India on Foster Street outside opening hours, and handle owners-corporation work in the newer apartment buildings near the station: committee-ready quotes, insurance certificates supplied, access coordinated with residents and managers.
Why Request a Quote from Newline Painting?
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.
7-Year Warranty
Seven years of written workmanship warranty across every surface we touch, which matters where a 1950s weatherboard may be decades past its last full repaint and a shopfront takes daily knocks.
$20M Insurance
The certificate for our full $20 million public-liability policy, handed over before the first drop sheet is laid. Factory managers, owners corporations and careful Dandenong homeowners all expect it, and none of them need to ask twice.
Reliable Scheduling
Your start date goes in writing and gets built around how the property actually runs: school pick-ups, a commercial lease handover, or the dry spell an exterior needs to cure.

What Changes the Price of a Dandenong Painting Quote
Painting a house in Dandenong 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. Dandenong is mostly post-war brick veneer and weatherboard, with simpler trim and lower ceilings than period homes, so the figure depends more on surface area, eaves and fascia than on ornate detail. Four things do most of the work on your quote, and our painting cost guide works through three examples in detail.
Dandenong quotes spread wider than most suburbs because the work does. Repainting a 1950s weatherboard near Dandenong High is nothing like recoating a warehouse office in the southern industrial belt, and the price reflects which job is yours. A few factors move the number, and the painting cost calculator on our site gives you a rough number long before anyone visits.
Surface area & number of coats
Volume of work sets the floor. Dandenong’s postwar homes are compact, so a full interior repaint of one often lands cheaper here than the same brief would in the inner suburbs. Commercial work runs the other way: a shopfront is a day or two, while a factory office or warehouse ceiling is measured in hundreds of square metres. Every room, wall and elevation gets measured, and the itemised quote spells out what you are paying for.
Prep work required
Prep need shapes the labour bill. Most local houses date from the 1950s and 1960s, so an exterior repaint in Dandenong usually starts with lead-safe preparation on original weatherboard, cutting back flaking sills and fascias, and binding chalked paint on brick-veneer trim before anything new goes on. On commercial facades along the highway, years of traffic film have to be washed off first or no coating will hold. That groundwork is the reason we can put seven years of warranty behind the result.
Paint product specified
Product choice nudges your number too, with Dulux Wash & Wear at the value end with Haymes Ultra-Premium above it, while west-facing weatherboard and highway-side facades that cop the harshest afternoon sun call for Wattyl Solagard. What the quote names is what lands on your walls, with no swaps.
Access & height
The last driver is access and timing. High warehouse ceilings and gable ends need boom lifts or scaffold, trading shopfronts around the market get scheduled outside opening hours, and commercial painting in the industrial estates works around forklifts, racking and shift patterns. A single-storey house keeps setup light. Because we inspect the site before pricing it, nothing about access ever lands on your invoice unannounced.
A worked example for a Dandenong home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a brick veneer home in Dandenong, weatherboard gables, fascia and window frames.

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.
