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 Geelong

The restored 1930s Eastern Beach bathing complex, Geelong · DXR, CC BY-SA 4.0 / Wikimedia

Salt off Corio Bay decides the exterior spec

Anything facing Corio Bay carries salt, and salt sits under a new coat and lifts it. On the bay-facing elevations we wash down hard before priming and specify a system rated for coastal exposure rather than a standard exterior acrylic. The sheltered side of the same house often does not need that spend, and we will say so rather than quoting the whole place at the higher spec.

Newtown and Geelong West period stock

Newtown, Geelong West and East Geelong hold a deep run of weatherboard and brick period homes, and they are the work this crew is built for. Sash windows usually need re-puttying before paint, verandah detail is cut in by hand, and any paint laid before 1970 is treated as lead-safe. Those three things account for most of the hours on a period exterior here.

The Geelong run is booked around your dates

We are a Melbourne company and Geelong is a booked run down the freeway, not a local branch. The job is scheduled as a single continuous booking with the dates agreed when you accept, and the travel is inside the written price. One crew starts it and the same crew finishes it.

Melbourne jobs from the crew that travels down to Geelong, weatherboard and period exteriors among them. On a period home the preparation is usually about half the labour, and it is what decides how long the finish lasts.

Pricing transparency

What Changes the Price of a Geelong Painting Quote

Painting a house in Geelong 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. Geelong 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

Quoting Geelong by the square metre would be guesswork. An Edwardian weatherboard in Geelong West and an apartment carved out of a converted wool store near the waterfront ask for completely different work, so three things drive your figure.

Prep work required

The first driver is sheer paintable area. Newtown’s double-fronted Victorians carry more ceiling height, timber trim and hallway wall area than their footprint suggests, so interior painting is priced on the surfaces we will actually coat, room by room, never on bedroom count.

Paint product specified

Then there is what the bay has already done to the surfaces. Salt carried off Corio Bay settles on elevations that look over the water, chalking and blistering tired coatings, while south-westerly rain probes every open joint. Exterior painting here begins with a proper wash-down to strip that salt film, and on pre-1970 weatherboards, lead-safe preparation as well.

Access & height

The specified product moves the price as well: Dulux Wash & Wear sits under Haymes Ultra-Premium on cost, and for bay-facing Geelong exteriors we often step up to Wattyl Solagard for its salt and UV resistance. The tin listed on the quote is the tin that arrives, no substitutions. Want a number before anyone knocks on the door? Run it through the painting cost calculator.

What that means for your place

A worked example for a Geelong home

Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a weatherboard or brick period home in Geelong, sash windows, verandah detail and a bay-facing elevation.

270m²

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

A$15–60

per square metre for exterior work, depending on substrate and access.

A$4,050–16,200

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.

Frequently asked questions

Geelong painting, answered

Do you service Geelong?

Yes. Newline Painting takes on booked projects in Geelong (3220) and across the City of Greater Geelong, including Newtown, Geelong West, East Geelong, Belmont, Highton, Rippleside and Drumcondra. We are a Melbourne company covering the metro area plus selected regional Victorian centres, and travel is settled with you when we quote. Ring 1300 044 206 and we can talk dates.

What does salt air off Corio Bay do to house paint?

Salt is the main reason Geelong exteriors fail early. Airborne salt settles on bay-facing walls, holds moisture against the film, dulls the sheen and eventually lifts the coating, and it corrodes gutters and railings faster too. We wash exteriors down before painting and specify salt-tolerant systems on exposed elevations.

Do you paint Geelong’s Victorian and Edwardian homes?

Yes. The weatherboard and brick period streets of Newtown, Geelong West and East Geelong are exactly the work our crews are built for: sash windows re-puttied, verandah detail cut in by hand, and colours chosen to sit naturally with the age of the house.

Can you repaint a heritage-overlay home in Geelong?

Yes. City of Greater Geelong overlays cover large parts of Newtown, Geelong West and the CBD fringe. Repainting in the existing colours rarely needs approval; a new scheme on a contributory facade sometimes does, and we establish which case applies before pricing the new scheme.

How is lead paint handled in older Geelong homes?

Our rule is simple: any Geelong paintwork applied before 1970 counts as a lead job until testing proves otherwise. The work is wet-sanded behind containment, the waste leaves site properly, and the clean-down at the end protects your family, your garden and our painters alike.

Can you paint apartments in Geelong’s converted wool stores?

Yes. Wool-store conversions combine strata rules with heritage fabric, and we handle both: owners-corporation approvals, protection of exposed brick and timber, low-odour products, and scheduling that suits the building’s other residents.

When is the best season to paint an exterior in Geelong?

Geelong’s bayside climate gives a longer painting window than inland Victoria, but the rules still hold: boards must be dry and overnight temperatures above the product minimum. We book exteriors into the reliable months, and we will say plainly when a facade is better held over.

Do you offer pre-sale painting in Geelong?

Yes. We work backwards from your agent’s campaign dates, painting in buyer-neutral schemes so the property photographs well and holds up through every open inspection until settlement.

What guarantee do I get on the work?

Every Geelong project carries a 7-year written workmanship warranty and $20 million public liability insurance. If covered paintwork fails inside that period, we return under warranty and the repair costs you nothing.

How do I line up a quote for a Geelong project?

Price it online first, or phone 1300 044 206. Bigger exteriors and heritage homes usually get an onsite inspection to firm the number, and acceptance locks your dates and travel into one written agreement.
