Two-storey Canterbury homes with steep period roofs call for scaffold or trestles, and the larger mansions around Canterbury Gardens often mean three-storey gable and chimney access. Shopfront and apartment painting in the shopping village needs careful kerbside setup, owners-corporation sign-off and trading-hours access, all priced before we start.

Why choose us
Why Canterbury Homeowners Choose Newline Painting
Our Services
House painting services we offer
Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, trims and the deep cornices, ceiling roses and picture rails common in Canterbury’s Edwardian and Federation homes. We work with low-VOC paints, keep dust under control, and mask and cover floors and furniture so the house stays liveable throughout.
Book Interior Painting
Exterior Painting
Weatherboard, render and brick exteriors built for Canterbury’s leafy, canopy-shaded streets. Every coat starts with thorough preparation, plus lead-safe handling wherever the home predates 1970, finished in a Dulux Weathershield or Wattyl Solagard system that stands up under the tree canopy.
Book Exterior Painting
Pre-Sale House Painting
Presenting a Canterbury period home for auction or sale. We paint to your agent's calendar, with neutral interiors and a crisp street front ready before photography and settlement.
Book Pre-Sale House Painting
Apartment Painting
Interiors, common areas and shopfronts around the Maling Road village and Canterbury station. We coordinate access and timing with your Owners Corporation, building manager or tenants.
Book Apartment Painting
Feature Wall Painting
A single bold wall to lift a Canterbury living room or hallway, colour matched to your home’s light and its existing period palette.

What Changes the Price of a Canterbury Painting Quote
No one publishes a real “Canterbury painter price list”; any figure quoted sight-unseen is a guess. These are the things that actually set your quote, and our cost calculator gives you a rough number before we visit.
01
Surface area & number of coats
Size sets the baseline. A typical Canterbury period home, often a large Edwardian, Federation or interwar house off Mont Albert Road, carries well over 400m² of wall and ceiling once two coats are counted. Tall ceilings, ornate roses and panelled hallways make an interior painting job here a very different quote to a single-coat refresh.
02
Prep work required
Condition comes next: filling and patching tired plaster, lead-safe work on anything painted before 1970 (most period stock here), sealing gaps and treating mould on damp, canopy-shaded walls. On heritage and Maling Road precinct exterior repainting, prep regularly eats past the halfway mark of total labour, and it sets how many years the finish holds.
03
Paint product specified
Paint choice moves the number too: Dulux Wash & Wear sits a rung below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and we specify Wattyl Solagard where a Canterbury exterior takes harsh, canopy-shaded and weather-exposed conditions. A quoted product is a promise. That exact product is what ends up on your walls. No swapping to a cheaper line mid-job.

How it works
How to Book Your Canterbury Painting Service
1. Get a Free Quote for Your Home
Start with a free quote request, online or by phone. We reply with a written itemised figure, a locked-in start week, and a straight answer on what prep an older Canterbury home needs.
2. Our Expert Painters Will Transform Your Home
The crew then preps and paints to the home's era: careful sanding and filling, quality paints, crisp lines around cornices and roses. Floors, furniture and garden beds stay masked and covered the whole time.
3. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
We finish with a joint walkthrough of the finished rooms and exterior, touching up anything you point out before we pack up. Your Canterbury repaint then carries its written 7-year warranty.
What's included
What Every Canterbury Repaint Includes as Standard
7-Year Warranty
The finish is backed by a written 7-year workmanship warranty covering surface prep, paint adhesion and finish quality, put in writing before a Canterbury repaint begins, so restoring a grand period exterior is a commitment, not a hope.
$20M Insurance
We carry full $20 million public liability insurance, with certificates of currency yours to see on request. That is the assurance a Canterbury homeowner wants before anyone works at height on a two-storey Federation home or heritage streetscape.
Reliable Scheduling
Start dates we set are start dates we keep. When an auction or settlement deadline is locked on your Canterbury sale, the schedule is built around it, and we stay reachable seven days a week so nothing stalls mid-campaign.

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.

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 Canterbury
Maling Road, Canterbury · Philip Mallis, CC BY-SA / Wikimedia
Large parts of Canterbury sit within heritage overlays: the Maling Road commercial precinct (one of Melbourne’s most intact Edwardian shopping streets) and several Canterbury residential precincts among them. If you’re repainting the exterior of a contributory or heritage-listed home or shopfront and significantly changing the colour scheme, you may need City of Boroondara planning approval. If a permit question comes up, we work through Boroondara’s overlay requirements with you before the quote is finalised.
Almost all homes built before 1970, which is the bulk of Canterbury’s Edwardian, Federation and interwar stock, carry lead-based paint under later coats. Our process protects the household: we test surfaces first, wet-sand behind full dust containment, dispose of the waste properly, and never dry-sand, so lead dust never drifts through the hallways of a Federation home. On grand period homes with original timber joinery, that care matters for both your family and our team.
Canterbury Railway Station, Canterbury · Thebusofdoom, CC BY-SA / Wikimedia
Canterbury’s wide, tree-lined streets and mature canopy are part of what makes it Canterbury, but overhanging foliage, southerly weather and damp shaded walls all shorten the life of an exterior coat. We spec the right system for each elevation: UV-stable membranes on sun-hit northern faces, mould-resistant coatings on shaded southern walls under the canopy. That is how the finish holds up year after year.
The Maling Road village shopfronts and the apartment and townhouse blocks near Canterbury station come with their own requirements: heritage-sensitive colour schemes, owners-corporation approvals, common-property scheduling and trading-hours access. We’ve painted strata interiors, common areas, shop facades and apartment exteriors across Boroondara, and we manage the building and tenancy liaison so the job runs without friction.
