Access is the third lever. Terraces on narrow blocks often mean rear-laneway scaffold access and party-wall care; apartment and common-area work adds lift bookings, protection of lobbies and owners-corporation sign-off windows. None of it is a problem — it just has to be priced honestly, so we walk the building before we commit to a figure.

Why South Yarra Homeowners Choose Newline Painting
Our Services
House painting services we offer
Interior Painting
Walls, high ceilings, deep cornices and the original timber trim of South Yarra's terraces and Edwardian homes — and the plaster and joinery of its apartments — painted with low-odour products, dust contained room by room, and everything back in its place before we leave.
Book Interior Painting
Exterior Painting
Rendered facades, parapets, iron lacework and sash windows across South Yarra's period streets. Full preparation — crack repair, rust-primed metalwork, lead-safe handling on pre-1970 buildings — under Dulux Weathershield or Wattyl Solagard systems.
Book Exterior Painting
Pre-Sale House Painting
Getting a South Yarra terrace or apartment ready for sale in a market where presentation is the whole pitch. Fast, neutral interior and exterior refreshes timed to your campaign, photography and settlement dates.
Book Pre-Sale House Painting
Apartment Painting
Our core South Yarra work: apartments, walk-up common areas, lobbies and stairwells from the deco blocks to the newer buildings near Chapel Street. We quote for owners-corporation approval and schedule around residents and lift access.
Book Apartment Painting
Feature Wall Painting
One well-chosen wall can reset a whole room. We colour-match feature walls to a South Yarra home's light, era and existing palette — from heritage terrace tones to gallery white.
Book Feature Wall Painting
Epoxy Painting
Durable, high-gloss epoxy for South Yarra garages and basement car-park floors — built for daily traffic and shrugging off chips, tyre marks, oil and stains.

What Changes the Price of a South Yarra Painting Quote
Nobody can price a South Yarra repaint from a rate card — a two-storey Victorian terrace, a deco walk-up lobby and a new Forrest Hill apartment are three different jobs. These are the three things that actually set the number, and our painting cost calculator gives you a ballpark before anyone visits.
01
Surface area & number of coats
The biggest lever is simply how much we’re painting. A double-fronted Edwardian house near Fawkner Park, with its high ceilings, deep cornices and original timber trim, carries far more paintable surface than a two-bedroom apartment — and a whole-home interior repaint is a different scope again to refreshing a hallway and two bedrooms. The quote reflects exactly what is being painted, nothing more.
02
Prep work required
The second lever is condition — what the surfaces demand before any paint goes near them. South Yarra’s terraces and walk-ups are overwhelmingly pre-1970, so lead-safe handling is routine, along with re-rendering hairline-cracked facades, priming rusting iron lacework and re-puttying original sash windows. On a period exterior repaint that preparation is routinely the larger share of the labour — and it is the difference between a finish that fails early and one that still holds in year ten.
03
Paint product specified
Paint selection shifts the number as well: Dulux Wash & Wear costs less per litre than Haymes Ultra-Premium, and where a rendered parapet or west-facing terrace facade takes the full afternoon sun, Wattyl Solagard is our call. The products named on your South Yarra quote are the products that go on the wall — never a cheaper tin swapped in mid-job.

How it works
How to Book Your South Yarra Painting Service
1. Get a Free Quote for Your Home
Start with the online form or a phone call. Our office sits in South Yarra itself, so a walk-through is quick to arrange — and scope, products and a fixed price are confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
2. Our Expert Painters Will Transform Your Home
Our trade-qualified painters do the preparation properly — sanding, filling, sealing and lead-safe handling where the building's age calls for it — then apply premium paints for a finish that lasts, in a terrace or an apartment alike.
3. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
Nothing is finished until you say so. We walk the completed job together, touch up anything you flag on the spot, and hand over the written 7-year workmanship warranty before final payment.
What's included
What Every South Yarra Repaint Includes as Standard
7-Year Warranty
Seven years of written warranty on workmanship — preparation, adhesion and finish quality — handed over before a South Yarra job begins. It is the same document whether the client is a homeowner or an owners corporation, with no fine print to unpick in year five.
$20M Insurance
A full $20 million of public liability cover, current and documented. In a suburb of shared walls, common lobbies and tight scaffold lines it matters: your home, your neighbour's terrace and the building's common property are all covered before anyone opens a tin.
Reliable Scheduling
Scheduling that holds: start dates we commit to and keep, works timed around body-corporate approvals and building access hours, and seven-day contact — a question about your South Yarra job reaches a person minutes away, not a queue.

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 South Yarra
Como House & Garden, South Yarra · Mike Dickison, CC BY 4.0 / Wikimedia
Two councils, real heritage overlays
South Yarra splits at Punt Road: most of the suburb sits in the City of Stonnington, while the Domain side to the west is City of Melbourne. Both councils apply heritage overlays across the Victorian terrace and Edwardian precincts — including streets around Como House and towards Fawkner Park — so an exterior colour change can need a permit. We flag it at quote stage and paint to the schedule the overlay allows.
Lead-safe work in a pre-1970 suburb
South Yarra’s terraces, Edwardian houses and art-deco walk-ups were almost all painted with lead-based products at some point before 1970. Our rule is simple: any pre-1970 surface is handled as lead unless a test clears it — wet-sanded under containment, residue captured on drop sheets and disposed of correctly, because dry-sanding would drift lead dust through hallways, light-wells and shared stairwells.
Fawkner Park, South Yarra · Slyronit, CC BY-SA 4.0 / Wikimedia
Render, iron lace and river-fringe greenery
South Yarra is river-fringe, not coastal — the enemies here are afternoon sun on west-facing render and parapets, rust creeping through cast-iron lacework, and the shade and damp thrown by mature canopy near the Royal Botanic Gardens edge. We prime metalwork properly, use UV-stable topcoats where the sun hits and mould-resistant systems on the walls that never see it.
Owners-corporation work at scale
Much of South Yarra lives in apartments — deco walk-ups through to the mid-rise buildings around Forrest Hill and the Chapel Street end. We handle owners-corporation work at that scale: quotes built for OC approval, lift and lobby protection, scheduling around residents, and common-property finishes from stairwells to car parks. Full high-rise towers aren’t our pitch — walk-ups and mid-rise common areas are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service South Yarra?
Yes. South Yarra (3141) is Newline Painting’s home suburb — our own office is here — so it gets our fastest quotes and response times. Call 1300 044 206 or book an instant online quote.
What painting services can I book in South Yarra?
Interior and exterior house painting, apartment and owners-corporation work, pre-sale repaints, renovation repainting, feature walls, fences, decks and epoxy floors for garages and basement car parks.
Do you paint South Yarra’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian homes?
Yes. Period homes are half of South Yarra’s stock, and we prepare them for their age — rendered facades crack-repaired, iron lacework rust-primed, sash windows re-puttied, plaster filled — before any topcoat goes on.
Do you handle apartment and owners-corporation painting in South Yarra?
Yes. Apartments are our core South Yarra work — deco walk-ups through to mid-rise buildings. We quote in the format owners corporations need for approval, protect lifts and lobbies, and schedule around residents and building access hours.
Do you handle lead paint in older South Yarra buildings?
Yes. Almost every pre-1970 South Yarra building carries lead-based paint under later coats. We assume lead on any pre-1970 surface until a test says otherwise, working wet, containing residue on drop sheets and disposing of it correctly — dry-sanding in a shared stairwell is exactly what we never do.
Do I need council approval to repaint my South Yarra home?
Sometimes. South Yarra sits mainly in the City of Stonnington, with the area west of Punt Road under the City of Melbourne, and both apply heritage overlays across the terrace and Edwardian precincts. If your street is covered, an exterior colour change may need a permit — we help you check before quoting.
Can you repaint before an auction or sale in South Yarra?
Yes. Pre-sale repaints are constant work for us here — presentation drives South Yarra results for terraces and apartments alike. We time neutral refreshes to your campaign, photography and settlement dates.
Can you help choose colours for a South Yarra home?
Yes. A colour consultation comes free on eligible projects. We match schemes to the building’s era and its light — heritage palettes for terrace facades, crisp contemporary whites for apartments.
Do you provide a workmanship guarantee?
Yes. Every Newline job comes with a written 7-year workmanship warranty, plus $20 million public liability insurance with certificates of currency available on request — paperwork owners corporations can sight before work starts.

7-Year Warranty
A written seven-year workmanship guarantee on every finish — on a South Yarra terrace facade that means the render, trim and lacework still look right seasons after the scaffold comes down, and if anything fails early, we come back and fix it. Being based locally, coming back is easy.
$20M Insurance
Full $20 million public liability insurance, with a current certificate handed over whenever an owners corporation or building manager asks before common-property work starts — and the same cover protecting a single-fronted cottage and its party walls.
Reliable Scheduling
Start dates that hold and a timeline shaped around your real constraints — a settlement date, a lift booking and lobby-access window set by the building manager, or a renovation schedule where the painter must land exactly between the plasterer and the floor sander.
