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.

What Changes the Price of a Burwood Painting Quote
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.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Know-How
What We Know About Painting in Burwood
Deakin University Burwood campus, Burwood · Donaldytong, Public domain / Wikimedia
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 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.
Deakin rentals, townhouses and body-corporate work
Burwood’s investor stock turns over hard. Student rentals near Deakin 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service Burwood?
Yes. We cover suburbs within roughly 30km of the Melbourne CBD, including Burwood (3125) and the wider City of Whitehorse. Call 1300 044 206 to confirm availability for your street.
Do you repaint Burwood’s postwar brick-veneer homes?
Yes. 1950s–70s clinker-brick, cream-brick and weatherboard homes are the bulk of what we do in Burwood. Hard-plaster crack repair, enamel conversion on dark timber trim and full exterior trim packages are routine for our painters.
Should I paint my clinker or cream brick, or leave it bare?
Painting brick is a one-way decision: it can’t practically be stripped back. We usually suggest leaving good brick bare and repainting the eaves, fascias, gutters and window trim that actually date the house; if you do want a rendered or bagged look, we apply a breathable masonry system properly.
Can you turn my dated dark timber trim white?
Yes. Converting original stained doors, architraves and skirtings to modern white enamel is one of the most common Burwood jobs we do: thorough sanding, adhesion priming and two enamel coats so the finish doesn’t chip or yellow.
How do you handle lead paint in older Burwood houses?
We treat every pre-1970 surface as lead until tested, and most of Burwood’s housing stock is pre-1970. That means contained wet-sanding, drop-sheet capture and correct disposal, never dry-sanding that spreads lead dust through the home.
Do you paint rental properties near Deakin University?
Yes. We do fast turnarounds between tenancies for Burwood landlords and property managers: washable low-sheen walls, hard-wearing enamel on doors and trim, and scheduling built around lease dates so the property isn’t sitting empty.
Do you paint the new townhouses and apartments around Burwood Brickworks?
Yes. We paint interiors, stairwells, render and common areas on Burwood’s newer townhouse and apartment stock, and we coordinate owners-corporation approvals and shared access so the job runs without friction.
Do you offer pre-sale painting in Burwood?
Yes. Many Burwood sales are original-condition veneers heading to auction or downsizer moves. We deliver neutral interior and exterior refreshes timed to your agent’s photography, opens and settlement dates.
Do you provide a workmanship guarantee?
Yes. Every Burwood job comes with a 7-year workmanship guarantee, put in writing before we start.
