We've completed painting projects throughout Highton, including homes near Barrabool Road, Queens Park, South Valley Road and surrounding Greater Geelong suburbs. From established weatherboard homes and Federation-style properties to modern family homes and townhouses, we understand the preparation methods and paint systems each requires.
You'll receive a detailed written quote outlining exactly what's included. We give honest recommendations based on your property's needs, not unnecessary upselling or confusing jargon.
Before painting begins, we inspect every surface for peeling paint, cracking, moisture damage, mould, timber movement and previous coating failure, then scope pressure washing, sanding, filling, caulking and priming accordingly.
We select paint systems specifically for your home's surfaces and exposure - every recommendation is based on your property's condition, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We turn up when we say we will, keep you informed throughout, protect your property during the work, and leave the site clean and tidy at completion.
We consider your home's architecture, natural light and surrounding landscape to recommend colours that suit your property today and hold up for years to come.
Room refreshes, feature walls, ceilings and full interior repaints using premium low-VOC coatings.
Weatherboard, brick veneer, render and fibre cement, painted with UV-resistant systems built for Geelong's coastal conditions.

Case Study · Highton, Geelong
When Margaret contacted us about her Highton weatherboard home, the exterior had been repainted twice in fifteen years and was peeling for the third time. Our inspection found the real causes: eight-plus layers of paint build-up, failed adhesion at every board edge, two rotted boards that had been painted over rather than replaced, and a chalking north-elevation surface acting as a release layer for anything applied on top.
We stripped all failing paint, replaced the rotted boards — priming all six faces before installation — sealed every joint and sill rebate, and applied a full Haymes primer and Dulux Weathershield system across the entire exterior over eight working days. The preparation underneath the finish is what makes the difference, and why this job should outlast the previous two combined.
Read the full case study →“I’ve had my house painted twice before and watched both jobs peel within a few years. Fairhaven came out, showed me exactly what had failed and why, replaced the bad boards, sealed everything — the finish they left is the best this house has looked since I bought it.”
— Margaret, Highton · Full Exterior Repaint 2025
We’ve completed residential painting projects on weatherboard homes, brick veneer properties, townhouses, renovated homes, and investment properties throughout Highton and surrounding Geelong suburbs. These before-and-after examples showcase the difference professional preparation, premium paint systems, and experienced workmanship can make.
Severely faded and peeling weatherboard exterior fully restored surface prep, prime, and two coats of premium exterior acrylic. Striking result.
Peeling, bare-timber sections properly repaired and primed before topcoat. Prep-heavy job that required thorough sanding, crack filling and sealing.
Dated pine-stained kitchen island repainted in a contemporary blue-grey. Sanded, primed and finished with a durable two-pack enamel topcoat.
Upper and lower cabinets repainted in a soft steel blue. A cost-effective kitchen transformation without the disruption or expense of full renovation.
Entire oven tower, wine rack and adjoining cabinetry painted to a consistent finish. All joinery matched for a cohesive, updated look throughout.
Plain white entrance door repainted in a standout sky blue a single focussed update that dramatically lifts the entry feel of this home.
Dated pale yellow weatherboard exterior transformed to a clean crisp white with contrasting dark window frames. A dramatic improvement to street appeal.
Every Fairhaven Painting job in Highton follows the same thorough process. No shortcuts on prep, no mystery products, no surprises on the invoice.
We discuss your goals, assess your timeline, and check seasonal conditions for the planned start. We won't book exterior work into forecast rain or temperature windows unsuitable for painting.
We inspect all surfaces for moisture damage, mould, cracking, old paint condition, and any heritage or material-specific considerations. Highton's older homes often have layering issues that only become clear with a proper in-person assessment.
The most important stage. We pressure wash, sand, scrape, fill, and prime using products appropriate for each surface type. This is what competitors skip to win on price and it's why their finishes don't last.
We specify the right Dulux or Haymes product for each surface, condition, and orientation. UV-resistant exterior coatings on sun-exposed walls, mould-resistant systems on damp areas, flexible coatings on timber.
Careful, consistent application with attention to line work, coverage, and finish quality. We monitor conditions throughout and adjust scheduling if Geelong's unpredictable westerlies create unsuitable conditions.
Every job receives a thorough inspection before we leave. We walk through the completed work with you, address any touch-ups on the spot, and provide a written workmanship warranty.
We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern painting equipment for cleaner finishes and more consistent results:
• Airless spray systems for smooth, even coverage
• Moisture meters to identify hidden dampness before painting
• Dust extraction sanding systems for cleaner preparation
• Laser measuring tools for accurate quoting
• Premium low-VOC Dulux and Haymes coatings
• Flexible fillers and sealants designed for Geelong’s climate
Using the right tools helps us achieve better adhesion, sharper finishes, and longer-lasting results.
A professional repaint can significantly improve presentation, create a cleaner and more modern appearance, and help your property make a stronger first impression on potential buyers.
Whether you’re refreshing a single room, repainting a weatherboard home, updating a brick veneer property or improving your home’s street appeal before selling, Fairhaven Painting delivers premium workmanship, honest advice, expert colour consultation and long-lasting finishes backed by a written workmanship warranty.
