Book interior painting →
Weatherboard, brick veneer and render exteriors built for the open plain: a full wash-down, lead-safe handling wherever coats predate 1970, plus Solagard or Weathershield exteriors specced against the punishing western weather.

Getting a Laverton home ready for sale without overspending: fast, neutral colours done ahead of the photography shoot and with settlement dates in mind, so the budget goes where buyers look.
Book pre-sale painting →
Interiors, common areas and exteriors for villa units and the townhouse rows toward Williams Landing. The approvals, shared driveways and letter drops sit with us rather than with the committee.
Book apartment painting →
One strong colour to change how a lounge, bedroom or hallway feels, picked against the room’s light and the age of the house, from a 1950s front room to a new-build media wall.
Book feature wall painting →
Epoxy floors in a tough high-gloss finish for Laverton garages, sheds and workshops, shrugging off oil, hot rubber and whatever a working shed throws at it.

Surfaces are washed down, sanded, filled and primed first, lead-safe on anything coated before 1970, then topcoats suited to weatherboard, brick veneer or render go on over protected floors and gardens.
You walk every wall of the finished job with us before we call it done. Small fixes are done on the same visit, and the written 7-year cover starts that same day.



Recent Newline Painting work across the inner and outer west, weatherboard and brick alike. On a period home the preparation is usually about half the labour, and it is what decides how long the finish lasts.

Laverton sits among working industry and the airborne grit shows up on every exterior we look at here. It is fine, it is greasy, and paint will not key through it. We pressure wash and where needed degrease before we prime, on every job, and it is in the price rather than an optional extra. Skipping that step is the single most common reason an exterior out this way peels early.

The land is flat and open and the west elevations take the full afternoon sun and the wind-driven rain with nothing in front of them. Those walls move more and fail sooner than anything facing east. We spec the exposed faces for it and prep them harder, and we will tell you when the sheltered side genuinely does not need the same system.

Much of the postwar and ex-commission housing here has eaves and sheeting from the asbestos era. We do not sand or cut those. We hand clean, seal rather than abrade, and if we find damaged sheeting we stop and tell you so a licensed removalist can deal with it first. That is raised at the quote, before you have committed to anything.
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.
A west-facing wall in Laverton cops sun, wind and dust most of the year, and the 7-year workmanship cover we put in writing still has to outlast all of it. That is the standard we prep to.
Every Laverton job is insured for public liability to $20 million, whether it is one repainted bedroom or a corner-block exterior, and we can show the certificate before a ladder comes off the van.
Booked dates go in writing and stay put. We plan the work around your household routine, school runs included, and the same painters front up each morning until handover.
In Hobsons Bay a paint finish gets judged against some of Melbourne's best-kept houses, which is the standard we quote to.
Painting a house in Laverton 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. Laverton 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.
Laverton pricing tends to be friendlier than the inner suburbs because the houses are simpler: mostly single-storey homes with standard ceiling heights and room to move around them. Three things still decide where your quote lands.
Quote maths starts with sheer area. A three-bedroom 1950s weatherboard or brick veneer here is an honest, measurable job: flat ceilings, plain cornices and standard door and window trims, without the ornate plaster that pushes inner-suburb quotes up. A whole-house interior repaint still costs more than refreshing a couple of rooms, and the itemised quote shows exactly which rooms carry the cost.
Condition is the swing factor. Laverton sits on the open western plain, so boards facing west go chalky and split under afternoon sun and wind-blown dust, and timber fascias and gutters are usually the first spots to fail. Homes painted before 1970 get lead-safe preparation as standard. Careful prep is the whole reason an exterior repaint survives out here, so we refuse to skim it to win a job.
Product choice plays its part too. A Dulux Wash & Wear interior keeps the budget sensible, Haymes Ultra-Premium buys extra depth and durability, and Wattyl Solagard goes on the west-facing walls that take the worst of the plain. What we quote is what we apply, brand and line. Numbers first, visit later? The painting cost calculator works up a room-by-room estimate.
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a postwar brick or weatherboard home in Laverton, eaves, fascia and west-facing walls.

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.
One Newline crew owns your Laverton job from quote to handover, nothing passed to subcontractors. We work this pocket of the west regularly: a rendered front fence brought back to crisp condition in Altona, a full exterior on a brick and render home in Point Cook, cabinets refinished close to Heritage Court. Every member of the crew is trade qualified, every member background checked, covers the streets named for RAAF figures around Bladin Street as well as the newer rows toward Williams Landing, and answers for the warranty in person if anything needs a second look.

Laverton sits about 20km down the Princes Freeway from the CBD, and it gets the same crews and warranty terms as everywhere else our Melbourne painters work. One team runs this side of town, from the RAAF side of the tracks across to Altona Meadows and up the line to our Yarraville painters in the inner west.
