SCOPE
Introduction
A home’s exterior is its first line of defense against the elements and its ultimate statement of style. We were invited back by our valued client in Greenvale to execute a complete outdoor transformation for their beautiful 4-bedroom family home. The property hadn’t been painted in many years, causing the original facade to look severely weathered, dull, and heavily stained by atmospheric grime.
The Main Challenge
Years of exposure to Melbourne’s shifting weather patterns had left deep-seated soot and environmental stains embedded into the exterior walls. Before any paint could be applied, the substrate required extensive cleaning. Furthermore, because the client requested a complete, high-contrast color transition from the original outdated look to a bright, contemporary aesthetic, we faced the challenge of preventing the old dark stains and base undertones from bleeding through the new coats.
The Golden Deco Solution
We initiated this 1-week transformation with industrial-grade high-pressure washing, blasting away every trace of dirt, moss, and surface build-up from the exterior masonry. To secure the full color change, we applied a comprehensive, high-solid undercoat primer across all surfaces. This sealing layer was vital to establish a uniform base and lock out old stains. For the final layers, we utilized heavy-duty Berger exterior lines, alongside premium weather-shield alternatives from trusted Australian brands like Dulux and Taubmans or Haymes. We applied two thick, UV-resistant exterior topcoats to ensure a pristine finish.
The Final Result
The 4-bedroom home was completely reborn with an upscale, elegant street presence. The immaculate, bright main facade contrasts beautifully with the sharp architectural lines of the windows and rooflines, making the house stand out as one of the finest in the neighborhood. The homeowner, Claude Borstner, was absolutely thrilled with the clean handover and exceptional durability—marking another milestone in our exterior painting and high-end residential painting showcase.
