Q and A

Q1: How much does it cost to paint a house in Melbourne?

A: The cost varies based on several factors including the number of bedrooms, whether it's a single or double-storey house, the size of the house, ceiling height, the condition of the house, the number of colors needed, and any special requests such as specific types of paint or areas to cover. Additionally, if you need an urgent finish, there will be an extra charge for labor costs. The cost is also influenced by the amount of prep work required and the quality of paint chosen.

A: Our team at Melbourne Pro Paint is highly experienced and skilled in all aspects of painting. We pride ourselves on delivering quality workmanship and understanding the unique needs of each client.

Q4: If I have a hole or crack on the wall, do you fix them?

A: Yes, we do. We usually do not charge for fixing a few small holes or cracks if you hire us to paint the entire interior of your house. However, if there are many holes or cracks, there may be an additional charge. For large holes or severe cracks that require more extensive repairs, such as adding support or rebuilding plaster, additional charges will apply.

Q5: How much time does it take to paint a house?

A: The average time to paint a house is usually around 3-4 days. However, you should expect to add one more day for preparation work such as floor protection and fixing holes and cracks. If extensive preparation is required, it may take a few more days. Additionally, it usually takes one day for clean-up and final touch-ups. Therefore, painting a 3-bedroom house typically takes about 7 days in total.

A: The cost is influenced by several factors including the amount of prep work required, the quality of the paint, the number of bedrooms, whether the house is single or double-storey, the size of the house, ceiling height, the condition of the house, the number of colors needed, and any special requests such as specific areas to cover, door and trim painting. Urgent projects requiring a quicker turnaround will also incur higher labor costs.

Q7: Do you charge extra for urgent painting jobs?

A: Yes, if you require an urgent finish, there will be an additional charge for labor costs to ensure the project is completed within your required timeframe.

Q8: What is included in the preparation work for painting?

A: Preparation work includes protecting floors, fixing holes and cracks or small gaps, and ensuring all surfaces are ready for painting. This process is essential for achieving a smooth and long-lasting finish and can take an extra day or more depending on the extent of the work required.

Q9: How do you handle the clean-up after painting?

A: Clean-up and final touch-ups are included in our service. This usually takes one day and ensures that your house is left in pristine condition, with all painting equipment and protective coverings removed, and any necessary touch-ups completed.
