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

Deakin rentals, townhouses and body-corporate work
Burwood’s investor stock turns over hard. Student rentals near Deakin’s Burwood Highway campus need fast, durable, washable repaints between tenancies, and the townhouse and apartment projects around the Brickworks precinct bring owners-corporation approvals and shared-access scheduling. We manage the building liaison and work to lease and settlement dates, so the property is earning again quickly.
Heritage overlays are sparse in Burwood, and that changes the job
Burwood carries only a handful of City of Whitehorse heritage overlays, mostly small interwar pockets, so unlike Camberwell or Canterbury a repaint here rarely needs a planning permit. The real approvals question sits at the new end of the suburb: owners-corporation sign-off on townhouse and apartment exteriors around Deakin and the Brickworks precinct. We check both before we quote.
Lead paint sits under most pre-1970 Burwood surfaces
Most of Burwood, between Warrigal Road and Station Street, was built out in the 1950s and 60s, which puts the bulk of the suburb’s original enamel on doors, windows, trim and eaves inside the lead-paint era. We handle it the safe way: surface testing, wet-sanding with dust containment and correct disposal, never the dry-sanding that sends lead dust through a family home.
To paint the brick or not: the clinker question
Clinker and cream brick is Burwood’s signature surface, and painting it is a one-way decision: once coated, it can’t practically go back to bare brick. We talk owners through the honest options: leave the brick and repaint the trim, eaves, fascias and gutters that actually date the house, or commit to a full bagged or rendered finish with a breathable masonry system done properly.

Recent Newline Painting work on period homes across the eastern suburbs. On a postwar brick veneer or weatherboard house the preparation is mostly eaves, fascia and window frames, which is where an exterior first starts to fail.

Rated 4.8 by our customers
In Whitehorse a paint finish gets judged against some of Melbourne's best-kept houses, which is the standard we quote to.
What Changes the Price of a Burwood Painting Quote
Painting a house in Burwood 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. Burwood 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.
No painter can hand you a fixed "Burwood price list" before seeing the home: a 1960s cream-brick veneer, a rendered new townhouse near the Brickworks and a student rental off Burwood Highway are three very different jobs. Here is what actually sets the number on a Burwood quote, or get a ballpark first with our paint cost calculator.
Surface area & number of coats
Scope sets the baseline. A typical Burwood postwar home is a single-storey three-bedroom veneer with 2.4-metre ceilings: modest surface area, but most owners book a full interior repaint in one go: walls, ceilings, and the original dark-stained timber doors and trim brought up to a modern white enamel. Enamel conversion on every door, frame and skirting is what grows the scope, and the quote reflects it.
Prep work required
Then comes the state of the surfaces. Burwood’s postwar hard-plaster walls carry decades of hairline cracks and old picture-hook damage that need raking out and setting, timber windows often hide failed glazing putty, and most of the suburb’s pre-1970 stock warrants lead-safe handling on the original enamel. Good prep here is what decides whether the finish lasts five years or fifteen.
Paint product specified
Paint choice shifts the price too: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and we specify Wattyl Solagard where a west-facing Burwood exterior cops the full afternoon sun. Your quote names the exact product line, and that is the product our painters open on day one, never a quiet downgrade.
Access & height
The last variable is how we reach the work. Single-storey veneers are straightforward, but the double-storey townhouses around the Brickworks precinct need trestles or a platform for stairwell voids and upper render, and apartment work near Deakin needs owners-corporation sign-off and scheduling around tenants. Everything is costed into the quote before we begin.
A worked example for a Burwood home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a brick veneer family home in Burwood, timber windows, eaves and a rendered porch.
of paintable exterior surface, which is the number that actually drives the quote, not the floor area.
per square metre for exterior work, depending on substrate and access.
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.
