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
House painting services we offer
Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, doors and trims, plus the picture rails, deep skirtings and timber sashes Yarraville’s Edwardian homes are full of. Low-odour, low-VOC paints and strict dust containment, because in a small cottage the living room is the work zone.

Weatherboard and brick facades from the village grid to Yarraville West, washed free of traffic film before a single pass of sanding. Full preparation with lead-safe handling on pre-1970 boards, finished in a Weathershield or Solagard system matched to the exposure.

Start with an instant online price or a phone chat. We walk the rooms with you, agree scope and colours, then one itemised written figure covers the lot. Nothing vague, nothing added later.
Our painters get to work
We wash down, sand, fill and prime before any colour goes on, then apply premium systems matched to weatherboard or render, with floors, gardens and footpaths protected from day one.
Walkthrough and 7-year warranty
Nothing is finished until you have inspected every wall with us and signed off. Touch-ups are sorted before we leave, and the seven-year cover starts the day we finish.
What we know about painting in Yarraville
Heritage overlay across the village
Much of the Yarraville village and the cottage streets around Anderson Street and Ballarat Street are covered by a City of Maribyrnong heritage overlay. Repainting in the existing colours is usually simple. A new exterior scheme on a contributory house can need a permit, so we look your address up on the overlay map while quoting. If you want a change, we can show you heritage colour ranges from Dulux and Haymes that suit a Victorian or Edwardian cottage.
Port traffic, grime and washing down before a brush moves
Yarraville sits near the port and the truck routes, and exteriors here carry a film of road grime that paint will not key through. We pressure wash and degrease before priming on every exterior, and it is in the price. On the streets closest to the truck routes along Francis Street and Somerville Road we allow extra washing time, because a single pass does not shift it.
Lead paint under Victorian weatherboards
The Victorian and Edwardian cottages through the village almost all have lead in the older paint layers. We do not dry-sand them. We wet-sand or chemically strip with sheeting down, bag and remove the waste, and clean the site properly at the end of each day. If there are young children in the house, tell us at the quote and we will take you through exactly how the containment works.
Narrow frontages and no side access
Frontages on streets like Stephen Street are narrow and a lot of these cottages have no side access at all, which means everything moves through the house or over the roof. That changes how long an exterior takes and we would rather price it honestly than discover it on day one. We check access at the walkthrough, including whether the neighbour's side is an option, and put it in the quote.
What Changes the Price of a Yarraville Painting Quote
Painting a house in Yarraville 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. Yarraville has older and newer homes side by side, so where a quote lands depends on the individual house: trim, wall height and condition matter more than the suburb. Four things do most of the work on your quote, and our painting cost guide works through three examples in detail.
Rarely do two Yarraville repaints land on the same figure. A double-fronted timber cottage and a rendered infill townhouse ask for different prep, different products and different access.
Surface area & number of coats
Metres of wall set the starting number. Yarraville’s Edwardian weatherboards carry high ceilings, deep skirtings, picture rails and timber sash windows, and all of that detail takes brush hours a plain modern room never asks for. A full interior repaint through a double-fronted home off Canterbury Street is a far larger scope than refreshing a couple of bedrooms and a hallway; the quote shows that difference line by line.
Prep work required
Condition decides the middle of the price. Timber boards this close to the Francis Street truck corridor wear a film of traffic grime that has to be washed right off before sanding, west-facing elevations chalk under the afternoon sun, and anything painted before 1970 gets lead-safe handling. Preparation is the reason an exterior repaint here lasts a decade rather than five years.
Paint product specified
Product choice moves the figure too: Dulux Wash & Wear holds the entry price, Haymes Ultra-Premium sits above it, and Wattyl Solagard earns its place where boards face the hard western sun. Quote says Solagard, wall gets Solagard: no quiet substitutions. For a room-by-room ballpark before anyone visits, run the numbers through our painting cost calculator.
Access & height
Access finishes the sum. Cottage rows near the station share tight side setbacks and permit parking, while two-storey townhouse walls and shopfront parapets around the village can call for towers or a boom lift. Every access cost is written into the quote before we start, not discovered on the invoice once the job is underway.
A worked example for a Yarraville home
Rate bands are only useful once you put them against a real house. Take a weatherboard Victorian cottage in Yarraville, weatherboard walls, fascia boards and timber sashes.

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.
