Fairhaven Painting is a Dulux-accredited painting business led by Kaj, servicing Big Hill and the surrounding Great Ocean Road corridor between Eastern View and Lorne. Big Hill’s steep, elevated blocks and architect-designed homes call for a painter who understands bushfire-rated cladding and genuine coastal exposure not a generic repaint. Here’s why local homeowners choose Fairhaven Painting:
We service the hinterland and coastal stretch around Big Hill, Eastern View, Benwerrin and Lorne. Big Hill's exposed, elevated position above Bass Strait means real wind, salt and UV exposure this shapes how we scope preparation and coatings.
You'll receive a detailed written quote outlining exactly what's included, with honest recommendations based on your property not unnecessary upselling.
We inspect every surface for peeling paint, cracking, moisture damage, mould, timber movement and past coating failure, then scope pressure washing, sanding, filling, caulking and priming accordingly.
We select paint systems for your home's surfaces, cladding type and exposure level including coatings compatible with BAL-rated concrete block, fibre cement and steel cladding common on Big Hill's rebuilt and newer homes.
We turn up when we say we will, keep you informed throughout, protect your property, and leave the site clean and tidy important on a property you may only visit occasionally.
We consider your home's architecture, bushland and ocean outlook to recommend colours that suit the setting and hold up for years, backed by a written workmanship warranty.

Big Hill itself is a small, largely holiday-home locality, most listings that come up for "painters near me" here are actually generalist marketplace platforms covering all of Lorne and Anglesea rather than a dedicated local specialist, which is exactly where Fairhaven Painting's local Great Ocean Road experience stands apart.
Led by Kaj, a Dulux-accredited painter, Fairhaven Painting has completed residential painting projects across Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Great Ocean Road corridor, from Highton and Torquay through to Lorne and Aireys Inlet. From heritage weatherboard cottages to architect-designed, bushfire-rated homes, our team delivers premium workmanship backed by experience, quality products and attention to detail.
We believe good painting is about more than applying colour. Proper preparation, premium materials, clear communication, and attention to detail are what create results that look great and last especially on exposed, elevated sites like Big Hill.
We discuss your goals, timeline, and check seasonal conditions. We won't book exterior work into forecast rain, wind or unsuitable temperature windows.
We inspect all surfaces for moisture damage, mould, cracking, cladding condition and BAL-related material considerations particularly important on Big Hill's rebuilt and architect-designed homes.
We pressure wash, sand, scrape, fill and prime using products appropriate for each surface type - an important stage in achieving a durable, long-lasting finish.
We specify the right Dulux or Haymes product for each surface, cladding type, condition and orientation UV and salt-resistant systems on exposed elevations, BAL-compatible coatings where required.
Careful, consistent application with attention to line work and finish quality, adjusting scheduling if coastal wind and weather create unsuitable conditions.
Every job receives a thorough inspection. We walk through the completed work with you, address any touch-ups on the spot, and provide a written workmanship warranty.

Have a question before booking your free quote?
Yes - many Big Hill properties are built or rebuilt to Bushfire Attack Level ratings using concrete block, fibre cement or steel cladding. We select coating systems compatible with your home's BAL rating and cladding specification, and can discuss this during your free on-site assessment.
Spring (September–November) and Autumn (March–May) are generally the most reliable windows, with more predictable weather. Big Hill's elevated, coastal position means wind conditions need extra attention - we always require a minimum of 3 dry, low-wind days forecast before starting exterior work.
Exterior house painting in Big Hill typically ranges from $4,200 to $14,000+ depending on property size, storeys, cladding type, access and BAL requirements. We provide a detailed written quote after inspecting your property.
Yes - many properties along this stretch of the Great Ocean Road sit on steep, sloping sites with narrow access. We plan equipment, scaffolding and scheduling around your property's specific access before work begins, and factor this into your written quote.
There isn't a fixed repainting interval for every property. Coastal exposure, UV, wind, substrate, existing coating and the quality of previous preparation can all affect how long an exterior finish lasts. Peeling, cracking, fading, chalking or exposed timber are useful signs that the surface may need attention.
Yes - we regularly coordinate access and scheduling with owners of holiday and investment properties along the Great Ocean Road, including Big Hill, so the work is completed and the property is secure and presentable for your next visit.
We work primarily with Dulux and Haymes premium systems, chosen for genuine UV and weather performance in Australian conditions. For timber surfaces we use purpose-built timber coatings; for BAL-rated cladding we select systems compatible with the required fire and material standards.
Yes - free, no-obligation quotes for painting work in Big Hill and the surrounding Great Ocean Road and Surf Coast Shire. We assess your property in person rather than quoting from dimensions alone. Contact us to book your free quote.
