What Glen Iris homeowners say
Pulled live from our Google Business Profile, so this updates as new reviews come in.
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.
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

Bungalow render, tuckpointing and what sits under the old paint
The Californian bungalows through here mostly still have their original render and tuckpointed brick, and both need different handling from a modern wall. Old render fails at the base where moisture has been wicking for decades, and painting over it just traps the problem. We cut out and patch what is loose, let it cure, and use a breathable system so the wall can dry outward instead of pushing the coat off.
Three councils meet here, and the rules differ
Glen Iris is split across Boroondara, Stonnington and Monash, which sounds like trivia until you need scaffolding over a footpath or a skip on the nature strip. The permit process and the fees are not the same in each. We check which council your address actually falls in before we quote so the access costs are in the number you are given rather than added later.
Elm and plane canopy keeps the south walls damp
The elms and planes that make these streets what they are also keep the south and south east walls damp for days after rain. Those elevations grow mould and the north face bakes. One product across the whole house fails unevenly. We spec by elevation, mould-resistant on the shaded side and UV-stable where the sun is hardest, and it costs no more to do it that way.

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
Every Glen Iris repaint carries a written 7-year workmanship guarantee, so the finish on your Californian bungalow or garden-suburb family home still holds its own many summers past handover.
$20M Insurance
A $20 million public liability policy stands behind every crew we send out, with certificates of currency issued on request: paperwork conveyancers and owners corporations want on file before a painter steps onto a Glen Iris property.
Reliable Scheduling
Firm start dates and a clear timeline pinned to your plans, whether you are running a leafy-street auction campaign, meeting a settlement date, or simply getting the family home back in order, instead of a loose promise to arrive sometime.
Rated 4.8 by our customers
In Boroondara 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 Glen Iris Painting Quote
Painting a house in Glen Iris 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. Glen Iris 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
Every Glen Iris quote is built from the home in front of us, never from a standard rate card. The housing stock here is too varied for that. These are the factors that move the number, and the paint cost calculator gives a quick ballpark first.
Prep work required
Nothing moves a Glen Iris quote like sheer floor area. A typical bungalow here, a three or four-bedroom Californian or interwar home, often runs well past 350m² of paintable interior across two coats. Original picture rails, deep skirtings and box cornices make an interior repaint here slower than the floor plan suggests; a one-coat refresh costs far less than bare-plaster or previously-unpainted timber.
Paint product specified
Sanding, filling, patching, lead-paint handling for the pre-1970 bungalow stock that makes up much of Glen Iris, gap-sealing and mould treatment on the shaded southern walls common on Gardiners Creek-side blocks. On a weatherboard or render exterior repaint, prep is 40–60% of total labour, and the part that decides how long the finish lasts.
Access & height
Paint choice shifts the figure as well: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and we call for Wattyl Solagard on the rendered and weatherboard faces of Glen Iris bungalows that sit open to harsh exterior exposure. You get the exact product your quote specifies. We don't swap in a cheaper tin once the job is under way.
A worked example for a Glen Iris home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a Californian bungalow in Glen Iris, deep cornices, picture rails and original render.

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.
