Lorne isn’t one type of property. Along Mountjoy Parade and through North Lorne you’ll find older guesthouses and weatherboard homes – some dating back to the same era as Erskine House, Victoria’s oldest surviving guesthouse just off the main strip – sitting alongside newer builds further up toward Allenvale Road and South Lorne. Each needs a different read: existing paint condition, timber condition, how exposed the property is to salt-laden air off Louttit Bay or Point Grey, and how much moisture the site holds, particularly on properties closer to the Erskine River flats.
We work across permanent homes, beach houses, holiday rentals and commercial spaces throughout Lorne and the surrounding Great Ocean Road communities, from the first inspection through to final walkthrough.
Our approach includes:
From beach houses and weatherboard properties to permanent residences and commercial spaces, our painters in Lorne provide a range of professional painting services.
Exterior surfaces around Lorne face different conditions depending on where the property sits - a home close to Louttit Bay or toward Point Grey copes with more direct salt air than one set back on the Erskine River flats or up toward Allenvale. We assess exposure level before specifying a coating system, not after.
Full interiors or single rooms - walls, ceilings, trims, doors and feature walls - prepared properly and left clean, whether it's a permanent home or a holiday rental between bookings.
Full-time homes, holiday cottages, investment properties and established houses throughout Lorne, tailored to the condition of each property.
Painting for suitable commercial and hospitality properties along Mountjoy Parade and nearby, scheduled to minimise disruption to trading hours.
Lorne's older housing stock particularly around Mountjoy Parade and North Lorne, in the same streets as heritage buildings like Erskine House - often needs careful surface assessment before repainting: layers of old coatings, weathered timber, and detailing worth preserving rather than painting over. We treat these properties with the attention that keeps their character intact.
Properties that sit empty for stretches between guests - common around Lorne given the seasonal pull of events like Pier to Pub often show damage that's gone unnoticed for a while. We can schedule around your booking calendar, including quieter shoulder-season windows, and provide photo updates if you're managing the property remotely.
The cost of painting a property in Lorne depends on its size, surface condition, accessibility, preparation requirements and whether you are painting the interior, exterior or both.
As a general guide, a single interior room may cost around $400–$900, while a full interior repaint of a three-bedroom home may range from approximately $4,000–$8,000.
An exterior repaint for an average home may cost approximately $5,000–$12,000, while weatherboard and holiday homes requiring more extensive preparation may range from around $6,000–$15,000+.
These are general estimates only. The actual cost depends on the property and scope of work.
